Title: Pretty good fishing at westport
Post by: buckhorn2 on August 05, 2014, 05:28:14 PM: Had another good day fishing with some nice kings showing up close in today. It's been one of those years where the predictions seem to be right on we have had an awesome season here this summer.

Post by: buckhorn2 on August 06, 2014, 03:30:29 PM: Today we went north about a mile above the jetty in 40 feet of water and had our fish by 9 oclock with 4 nice kings the ocean was just great flat as it gets. Diver-flasher and herring at 15 pulls works for us.

Post by: WSU on August 06, 2014, 03:47:43 PM: Are these fish that move in that close typically grays harbor fish, willapa fish, Columbia fish, combo? I'm curious if the GH kings are really starting to show.
Title: Re: Pretty good fishing at westport
Post by: buckhorn2 on August 06, 2014, 04:00:12 PM: I think maybe a little bit of fish from all those places I heard they are catching fish in the willipa some of the fish have that gold color that makes you think local fish. We had done well right behind the south jetty and today were a mile north of the north jetty in 35 feet so they are close to the bay.

Are you sorting thru very many kings to get a couple nice slabs like those? Well done, by the way.

My dad went out today and they were up the north side a little ways in 35-40ft. of water. He told me they caught nearly everything on divers and bait behind flashers. Were you using bait or lures???

Post by: buckhorn2 on August 06, 2014, 09:10:58 PM: We used the same stuff divers and flashers with bait. There were a lot of nice fish caught today close to the beach. Hope the weather holds and the fish keep close Tony.

Post by: Magnum_Willys on August 08, 2014, 10:41:11 PM: Nice Del ! I fished outside mouth of columbia - just off North Head last 3 days, 35 feet water. Diver, flasher, whole herring 10-12 pulls. All boats had coho and some smaller kings. Didnt see any like Buckhorns. I had a hard time landing coho with barbless hooks. Limits by 10:30 am every day.
