That's smilingkayaker out of Idaho, he's a big bass fan and stands all the time on flat water, I missed the video of him diving of the front when he lost his balance. I'm the big dude on the left that don't got a hobie......yet!

Thanks for the report. That beach looks very familiar. Isn't that were the Dory fishery takes place? And where a pair of I'll-prepared kayakers were recently rescued?

PC report for today.
Got on the beach at 6:20ish got geared up and headed out at 7:30 4 in all heliumhead, both the esch's William and Shane and myself. Started on the north side of the Rock and we started getting a few blacks and drifted out towards the can where Shane (on my boat)was catching underlings picked up a nice size bass, then heliumhead and I started trolling south ( on the west side of the rock) and I limited on bass with 3 at or longer then 19 inches. I was watching to our west as a large black ominous cloud was rolling at us ever so slowly. Once the wind picked up I decided to start trolling towards the northeast side of the rock. Ran into another NWKA member that just got out and I headed to the landing first. About 30 yards before the breakers I made a hard left turn in th mariner and lined up with the breakers and started peddling backwards...... I used the paddle as the rudder is about useless, it was super easy to just peddle forward over the breakers coming at me and once I was in two feet of water I hopped out. Shane got pitched sideways in the big tuna and got dumped but the boat stayed upright. Heliumhead and Williame did some nice surfing in the way in staying upright. An anonymous yaker came in a few minutes later and had a yard sale. All together a good day...... And of course once we were all loaded up tied down and in dry clothes it stopped raining, the wind died down and it got beautiful again. Mother Nature hates me.

I saw FB pics of a funnel cloud today at Salem. It rained over an inch last night here in Ashland, you got pretty lucky with the weather me thinks.

Nice!

I'm always amazed at how big your Blues are up there... jealous too. Hope I can make it to the ORC this summer.

Launched around 7 am ish 10 NWKA confirmed yakin fishing fools one unconfirmed free diver some lady fishing off s sup and one cheaper unidentified "person" that was wearing........... Yep ......... You guessed it........... A pair of gym shorts, bare footin, a wind breaker and you won't guess where his PFD was....... Yes it was in his bow hatch. After talking with him a few minutes about the safety rant hypothermia he ended up heading in before we did after being out there for an hour or so....... Hope he looks at NWKA web page and takes my warnings as education and not putting him down. I managed a nice cabizon 4 rock fish and didn't upchum in the water. Had a blast and seen SteveM nail a nice cabizon and a couple good lings, heliumhead nabbing his firs ever keeper ling and the sweeps were calm and the wind not to bad till we rolled in around 9:30-10.

Ok I'm that guy that was completely unprepared to salmon fish, only bait I had was a green label herring I fished out of the Tillamook Bay the other day when I took my son out , thinking the tray was empty and just trash I grabbed it and hey one in it, ok tossed in the freezer. Load up my gear except I forget my SLA battery and my fish cooler, hell I'm not going to catch fish just get Upnorthtex out. Shooting the breeze with spot and my knots are less then reliable for fighting fish I had spot tie up my shock leader, we got Art launched and I asked spot if he could plug cut my lucky herring, neither of us have a bait knife.... That's cool Art's got his plug jig and knife I seen it on his boat. Cruze over to Art have him plug my recycled herring put it in a sure spin dip it to make sure it's spinning... Check, put on a 6 oz weight , turn out towards the tide ... Drop my rig making sure it's not tangled..check... Touch bottom with weight..check , start peddling a little faster and put the rod in the holder.. Check, cool I'm fishing... Pole buckles over!! Oh great snagged already..crap! Pull rod from holder and have my rod about jerked out of my hand ?!?!? Over and over!!! OH SHIT "FISH ON..HEY MARK , FISH ON!!!!!! Was a short and exciting fight and as I'm fumbling to get my short handled net under my wild chinook Mark hollers over "You want a grownup's net?"
After I got my prize netted I told him where to put his grownup's net.
Fish on the stringer.. Check, Mark slit the gills before I could even get it out of the net!!!! YAAA BABY that's what I'm talking about.
I sure got the evil eye every time I got spotted passing spot, pretty sure I seen a few flying birds as well as read some xrated lips as we passed. I had a blast and cut out early with Art as he was at his max for time on the water for one day. Plus I had a fish >:D sorry Mark that one was for you. And thanks for helping wrangle my fish in my kiddie net ;) thanks Art for that expertly cut recycled herring it worked.
So I guess it does pay to be unprepared... At least for me.

Those are nice rock fish! Wish they were this big around here...

So we did a triple tread in the Tillamook Bay today= crabbing, rockfishing, salmon trolling. Here's the report:
Got to the launch early this morning 6:30 after a grueling 2.5 minute drive, started rigging as Pinstriper and his buddy showed up in separate truck followed by heliumhead and cjweinhe. I was pretty much ready to roll and we got them rigged and launched a little later then expected at 7:45. Nice ride out followed with some good sprinkles after dropping the crab trap. I hooked into a 5 inch black rock that got sent back unharmed followed by two bay size rocks that went on the stringer and got donated to Cj. After a couple trolls for rocks we pulled the pots and 1 keeper for me 8 I believe for Cj. We decided to drop the traps closer to the exit to soak while we cleaned the 9 we had put them on ice and switched to salmon gear, Pinstripers buddy had jelly arms and packed it in. No knife so heliumhead let me cut one of my recycled hering from my trip with Upnorthtex with his as we headed out. Crossed the sand bar to the channel and drop her down and start trolling... About 50 yards before Hobson Point be do followed with nothing no sticky sticky. Check bait it's ok sent it back down and just past the floating turd house be do and a miss again followed by a few choice words. Baits still good get to the bottom end and turn for a return troll about 75 yards before the toilet I tell Pinstriper to check and clear weeds and we redeploy.... Bendo and we got a sticker ... "FISH ON" my salmon net is on Cj's boat as he didn't have one and I don't have a good holder for it but luckily he's behind me and I'm now going towards him. Couple of good jumps and line peals and the damn thing comes back at me tangling in my flasher... "CRAP" Cj rolls on just in time and on the second attemp it's in the net..."TOUCHDOWN" "hatchery ho" thanks for the net work Cj. Hooked to stronger gills are blessing and .., yep no pen on board... PB next to me loans me one and later said keep it happy birthday. Now if I keep it and I'm prepared I won't catch another. Shot back to pull the traps and I got 5 keepers in my first trap and 0 in the second. I gave 5 to heliumhead as 1 is enough for me. You know it's a good day when your covered in fish blood from the waist down, PB'ers are congratulating you at the fish cleaning station and the first thing the wife says WHOA YOU STINK go shower. All in all I had a great birthday day fishing trip with some bonus presents. I guess Mother Nature only hates me when I hunt.
Ps I'll change the date with new posts :fishing2

Eureka is half way between shelter cove and Brookings, in case you are looking for the best of both worlds.

Ok gears cleaned dry and put away.... Belly is full,,, ZZZZZZZZZ.
Hit the beach and watched the surf for a bit with heliumhead and decided to go for it. We met Casey, forgot his forum name already. It was a little steep on the rollers but not much in the way of wind so we started timing the doubled up waves ( we had no cape protection today). I shot for it and caped the first one in white water and as the second one was coming I kicked it a little harder and topped the swell right as it started to crest and missed the roll by about 2 tenths of a second. Turn around and see no heliumhead ??? Circle around and see him standing next to his yak in the water lookin like he forgot something ( he can post that up) if he wants. Once he cought up we trolled our way out in 60.5* water while watching a couple Wales surface. Fishing was S......L......O......W. We where out by the yellow can when I had something of good size scroll on the FF at 5 ft when I looked down I watched a nice 6ft thrasher swim under me headed towards heliumhead, that will get your blood flowing. Yelled at heliumhead to start peddling... Move now... Right now and get a confused why? Shark and he's coming towards you! We decided to head a little farther south. I finally nailed a little rock fish to avoid the skunk I kept it. Had a drive by from Crabbycabby (he went to the WAY DARK side but looks to be working for him. Then nailed a nice fatter fish. I started to head in and heliumhead headed over to the east side of the rock to fish a little longer with Casey. Landing was going to be fun..... Especially with surfers right next to the cape, ok I got this buttoned everything I wanted to keep down and peddle in till just before the breakers and flip around. With the larger rudder I don't take my paddle out of the holder and start working the peddles backwards. As the waves were getting closer I would peddle forward over them while counting the set the whole time....... Ok here's the flat spot kick it into full throttle backwards watching the FF 9ft ......6ft......... 3ft ,bail..bail..bail feet wet and I'm on the sand, love the new rudder. Drug up and started de-rigging and then went down to help heliumhead land ...... Ok so I went down there with my iPhone video ready hoping to get a good yard sale/huli/spin cycle video ........OK SO SHOT ME its always funny when they go side ways..... And it's HILARIOUS when the lose contact with the seat of there yak. I'll let someone else fill in his experience, but remember you wait too long and I'll spill the beans! Had a great day disputed the lack of biting fish, glad you talked me into it heliumhead thanks.

Multiple postings of fish porn is A-OK in my book, especially in winter. Otherwise, we'll have nothing to read other than posts by some idiot who is digging up his sewer or moving his propane tank...

Well or bottom fishing season just got cut down to end this Sunday at 2359hrs in the first time forever for my memory. SoI hit the ocean at Pacific City with "nobaddays" NWKA member as my fishing guru for the day. He nailed 40 C&R blacks on the fly rod for the day. I took 6 nice rocks to the beach with no ling or cabizon love.
