Just finish up on a Labor day Salmon trip to the coast on the Siuslaw River in Oregon/we fish at the mouth and about 1 mile into the ocean the fish were large Herring was the magic with a special magic brine had my wife Grand son and a friend( these are adults) they had never caught Salmon before. The weather was perfect light tides/very little wind absolutely a great stay at the river. We landed 10 Chinook all well over 20# class 1 or 2 pushing 30# in 2 1/2 days on the water/ lost or had 10 take downs on Saturday alone/ PUT 5 IN THE BOAT ON SATURDAY. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT THE TWO HOT POLES WERE THE GRAND SON AND HIS FRIENDS I DON'T THINK THEY WILL FORGET THIS TRIP/KNOW THE fun begins cleaning up the boat from the salt water.
