Went fishing with my brother and his wife Monday and Tuesday. He bagged this one Tuesday morning. We came home limited out. Only one Chinook. Mark

Thats an URB? Looks like you are out over the bar in the pic. Nice fish for sure though.

I dont do the ocean.
LOL, I don't blame you ;)

Good to see a nice fish, Oregon side or Washington side? What were you guys utilizing for Silvers? I am heading Sat for fun and I don't do Ocean either... Reason I want to sell my boat and get an ocean boat.
-
Nice king! I'm headed there on Saturday. My concern is the possibility of 15+ knot winds and swell to 9 feet at the mouth.
-
Dont mean to sound like an idiot but whats a urb? Never fished the columbia or rivers at all for that matter
-
URB= Upper River Bright.
They are Fall kings that go WAY into the upper stretches of the Columbia river. Yummy fish!!!
-
I will be out there Saturday as well. VHF will be on channel 68.

Cut plugs= I have never been on the ocean but Monday we fished buoy ten and I was watching 20plus ft boats disappear in the swells :o Guess I dont get seasick. The URB was caught about mid river> Mark

Another reason why you won't see me at the mouth...

Saturday coastal forecast looks a little barfy for me, bet the bar will be messy, guys all be careful!
Sat
N wind 10 to 15 kt with gusts to 20 kt. Wind waves 3 ft. NW swell 6 ft at 11 seconds... building to 8 ft in the afternoon. Patchy fog in the morning.

I'm gonna wait until Sunday for it to flatten out a bit. I don't mind it rough if I'm alone but I am taking my kids. The bridge is only a couple of miles from the mouth and will be just as lumpy. I like to enjoy my fishing time and not spend it worrying about my crew, boat and mailny the other tards who don't know how to navigate in rough weather.

--No need to go over the bar, right off chinook has been excellent!
