I'm going to westport aug 6th to the 9th.Were staying at a condo on the beach. I haven't been to the ocean since i was 15 so i was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on what to do? Crabbing, fishing, just anything fun? Thanks
-
Definitely crabbing and fishing if you can..... I am not sure what you consider fun...I like just walking on the beach watching surfers and people flying kites... ;)
-

-
The Salmon charters? What about Tuna? anyone know any good ones?

id book a salmon charter for sure. i went wednesday and got a 25lb king. caught a lot of native coho and released them but it was still great fishin. :twocents:
-
We use to go pick up the local chicks and drink beer (and stuff) on the beach. Other than that, fishin is going gangbusters.

If you don't like the heat that is a great place to escape it. Dad has a house down there and as soon as it gets hot here he heads for the sea fog down there. There are some huge Blacktail bucks down there. Problem is even though hunting is not allowed in Westport them crazy Blacktail bucks still do not show themselves all that readily. A client told me that the biggest buck he has ever seen was down there. He said it walked right out into the road following a hot doe and turned and looked at him. He claims it was as big as any mule deer he had seen. :yike: My dad also has nice bucks running down the street right in front of his house down there. None quite that big yet but some decent three points. Take a camera, you never know what will step out and give you a looksie.

i am down the road and across state lines in seaside right now. Main thing is just chillin out, catching some sun. bond fires at night. relaxing.

Fished yesterday and kept realeasing kings till we got a big one and last night in the paper it said now you can keep two kings wish they would have done it a day earlier. Bring extra hooks the soup fin were bad yesterday fished the north side in 40 feet just above the jetty charters were coming in at noon.
-
Where is it open for salmon fishing? DO you need to be out a certain distance? Can I take my boat and fish salmon just outside the jetty? North or South? I thought I read something about it being closed around the jetty for salmon.

There is a triangle shaped area from one jetty out then down to the other side of the south jetty. We were about a half mile above the north jetty but small boats were everywhere it;s a safe bar unless there are big minus tides or wind and swell.
-
I might give that erea a try if I can get my boat back soon. What was the hot bait or lure and how deep were you fishing. I'm not a salt water guy. I mostly stick to rivers but wanna learn some of these spots. PM me if you would like to keep it off the WWW.

I am looking at about 8 boats out in the distance right now and just wondering what they are fishing for? Crab? salmon? tuna? have fun in westport doing whatever u decide on.
-
This is looking like one of those years with fish everywhere. We used green label herring but you can get fresh you have to order it the day before. We used deep sixes and 15 pulls of line no secret just seems to be fish. My grandson just got in last night with 400 tuna for 3 and a half days fishing it was the first time we have let him take the boat out. He also had a yellowfin tuna and lots of shark stories.
-
I'm going out on a charter boat on friday! :IBCOOL: Are they getting kings or silvers right now?
-
Sounds like you picked a good day for weather it should be nice in the ocean. They have been getting both they were targeting silvers to keep from being shut down for reaching the king quota but now you can keep two kings so are after both.
-
So you can keep 2 kings! Can you still keep silvers and pinks?
-
You can just keep two. Two kings or a king and silver and 1 pink.
-
One more ? do i need a catch record card for fishing in the ocean, from a charter boat? :dunno: Thanks
-
You need a salmon punch card They used to have them at the charter offices but I don;t now if they still do. When you buy your fishing license they have punch cards there is a gas station right at the dock area called the Hungrey Whale and they have licenses.
-
Today when we put in to beat the crowd boats were coming in taking out with limits most were silvers if you did;nt limit today you must have not been out. Fish everywhere between bouy 3 and GH. We put the boat in at 8.30 this morning.
