Started fishing at about 120’ a little northwest of Nehalem. Stopped because we saw hundreds of birds. Fished around birds and got our four hatchery coho by about 9:00 a.m. Decided to run up to Cannon Beach. Could not find any consistent action, but Troy did get one nice ling cod, and I got one small one. Headed back to port about 12:30 p.m. before the afternoon winds picked up.
