"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"
Another pic off yesterdays Halibut trip
Fishing Report: 07/26/2024
Salmon fishing today about the same as it has been quite a few (take downs) which is when a fish has bit the bait/hook and ready to be reeled in. The barbless hooks as an Oregon regulation that gives them a decent chance to spit the hook. Lots of times that is what is happening.
No word on the crabbing today as some chose not to participate as would have been difficult to not only pull pots from 100 feet or so but some were worried because of the current being heavy today they might have been pulled under the water in deeper water. The bottom fishing report from one boat was almost a whole boat limit both for lingcod and rockfish. There were lots of Canary rockfish as well.

Dead Head
Fishing Report: 07/25/2024
Something NO mariner wants to see when under way in the ocean waters is what we call a DEAD HEAD. It is a floating log but the big difference is these are logs that get saturated with water and instead of floating horizontally on the ocean water they float vertically with most of its length is under the water. This one as you can see in the picture is possibly 7-8 feet long as we watched it go up and down They can be quite dangerous as they can actually as the swell takes them up and down actually go thru the hull of a boat & to take out propellors. Something we don't see that often but you want to stay away from them if you do. They obviously have been in the ocean water possibly for years becoming saturated with water.
