How to Crab fish in Oregon

Catching Dungeness Crab on the Oregon Coast is a year-round sport in the estuaries, coastal rivers and tidal bays.
The best weather to go in is mild to sunny weather. Sustained rains bring fresh water. They are salt-water creatures and heavy rains force them out to sea because of the sudden lack of salt water.

To stay on the right side of the law, you need to get yourself a license if you are 14 and over. The licenses are not that expensive , and they are available for three day or year long. This is for both in-state and out-of-state residents.

Beginners luck for publisher

So, what a day. For the first time In thirty-five years I went salmon fishing. At Buoy 10. I caught two beautiful Cohos, about 12 pounds each. That’s no fish story, I’ve got the pictures to prove it. Marvin gave us superb service and guaranteed we’d catch salmon today, and we did.
What more can you hope for from a fishing guide.
Tonight when my wife and I are eating the sublime salmon, I’ll be thinking of my Dad, my family and my new friend Marvin and counting my blessings.
Call it beginners luck, but it was splendid.
It sure “sucked to be me” today.
