I believe Encore 280 is referring to the bay fishery. As far as the ocean fishery you are fishing for the same fish accessible from Ilwaco or Westport, just maybe a little closer or a little farther away depending on where you're headed. With the bar and channel conditions described above it's hard to say it's worth it. Sure, people do it, but I think you really need to learn it and know what you're doing. |

If you plan on fishing the ocean then I'd recommend keeping your boat in Westport or Ilwaco. Unless they dredged the marina this winter, you're screwed for getting out if it's a 1' or more low tide. Getting to the ocean even on a nice day can be tricky. Between North Cove and Washaway Beach it can get pretty nasty during tide change. Like mentioned above, don't risk it if you've never been out there. Stay safe. |

We hit bottom around the X in this screenshot around a 0' low tide. barely able to limp the boat (28' Allied) over to the dock to offload people. Less than 16" of water between that X and the launch. Had to wait a few hours. |

Corps of Engineers is taking their sweet time approving a permit for the Port of Willapa to dredge. :bash: :bash: |

Nasty side swell action. Westport is so much easier especially cutting the south jetty. |
