Two Words. Big C. Catching coho & Dungeness crab on the Columbia River. King salmon closed & some commercial nets getting a short opener. The Good News? Coho daily limits are now 3 hatchery fish instead of 2 & the crabs fill out their shells in late season. Friendships go back over 50 years with this crew. Our skipper is a fish guru & has us working together…although when a triple happens with six poles it gets a little wild…another day for Major Excitement on the boat! Limits both days, pretty calm seas & sunshine. Surrounded by beautiful scenery on the edge of the ocean. Limits on both & bounty shared with many. Astoria is a fabulous town to visit, great downtown, excellent dining & a Maritime Museum that will blow your mind.
