We went to Astoria and I think we got it right. Lasttime we went we didn't do anything wrong we just didn't put in the time and be consitent.
We went down on Wednesday(8/19) and Saturday(8/22). Both days had great weather for Astoria, little wind and lots of boats made for rough water. Wednesday we hit a few cohos and a small chinook, it seems that most of the days fish were native Coho (bummer). Saturday we did the same and hit them hard. My boat can troll 4 poles on a good day so we put 2 poles out each side with 10oz of lead and 2 poles out the back with 8oz of lead. I think that if you get to fancy you are just giving yourself a headache so we all used moching rigs (5/4). I put a #4 spinner blade and 4 red beads on my rig, it hit a springer this year and hooked a Chinook and the largest Coho Saturday. We used anchovy and cut herring soaked in rocksalt water. We trolled infront of Warrenton in the shipping channel at about 2mph, just fast enough for the stuff to work right.
For the day we boated 3 Coho returned 4 Coho and lost 2 fish which one was a chinook.
A great day if you ask me!
