I haven't done that since I was a kid growing up in Astoria and our dad would take us to Wauna or Westport to camp and fish off the beach. Only remember catching one salmon and that was back in the early 60's. I really want to get back down there and try it again. Still have a brother in Astoria and he's probably out fishin down there as we speak. Been waiting for a good report from him so I can plan a trip down there.
