Tiallamook Bay Exploration
November 10th, 2007Headed out Friday to see what is happening on T Bay. I was with a couple of folks that know the Bay and have pretty consistent luck there. We were in the thick of things by 8:30. There were about 40 boats in the Ghost Hole and the day was classic coastal – gray, curtains of medium mist and about a 20 knot wind. It looked perfect for bagging, or at least playing, a nice fall chinook. We fished hard for about 4 hours and had no action. We saw one fish on the whole time. This includes 8-10 guide boats in the mix. We moved out to the jetty, “the Jaws”, and gave it a go for another couple of hours. Nada as well. We weren’t even marking fish on the depth finder.
It was good company and good fun but zero fish action. I have to believe that there is a basic lack fo fish and that this year could be a very bad year for chinook. Maybe the rain this weekend will perk things up. Judging by the lack of more than 3-4 cars parked along the Wilson on the way over, there is not much happening.
This was definitely a “maybe next time” trip. Sal
