Title: Columbia/Buoy 10?
Post by: PolarBear on August 27, 2009, 03:31:35 PM: Howdy. Have any of you been fishing from Buoy 10 to the bridge within the past few days or heard a report on how it is doing? I am debating on whether to haul down there on Saturday or not.
Thanks.

Post by: PolarBear on August 27, 2009, 05:50:04 PM: I went last sunday. It was pretty lumpy from Chinook west. We caught several coho but had to toss them all back. It was the first time in 15 years of fishing down there that I came home empty handed. Was hoping to redeem myself this weekend but I have a lot of other things gong on if the fishing has slowed way down.

We might not see another season like this for along time!!! And my boat is still broke. :bash: :bash: :bash:

You won't go wrong either place. If you want kings then you might want to hit the willi. I would imagine most of the crowds would be on the Big C. ;)

Post by: PolarBear on August 31, 2009, 05:42:17 AM: Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I wasn't sure whether I was going until the last minute (been having some more health issues). Besides, I hate to mess with anyone's fishing schedule. I was having problems with my herring falling apart. I didn't have time to reserve some fresh so I pulled some out of the freezer. I think I need to go back to brining again. I think that I'm losing my touch.

Post by: Antlershed on August 31, 2009, 08:18:20 PM: I'm tempted to, but I might stay a little closer and fish URBs. We'll see though. The girlfriend asked if we could go to Buoy 10 instead. :chuckle:
