Buoy 10? The Ocean was the best bet!

What a great, and fast day! 12 keeper salmon in 2 hours of having lines in the water with another 4 released. You can't hardly write the script any better. While Buoy 10 has opened up, the best action has remained in the ocean with plenty of salmon stacking up outside before making their way into the river. We left early to make the bar crossing before the tide started pulling too hard. Once out, we stayed close to the Cape Disappointment lighthouse and circled schools of Coho and Chinook Salmon with our longest wait for a bite staying at less than 20 minutes. The fish highlight was a beautiful upriver bright Chinook with spots so small that she could almost have been mistaken for a Coho. Not only was this big female the biggest fish of the day, the fillets had some of the best color you could ask for in a fall Chinook. We ended the day with full limits of Salmon including an even split of Chinook and Coho. These guys are going to have some amazing eating when they get back home and I can't wait to see them again
