Fishing Information:
This time of the year most fishing is taking place 2-3 miles north the Grays Harbor Jetty.
Finding fish: Look for salmon to concentrate where the bait is located, and the best fishing will be where you find schools of herring. These salmon will be actively feeding in these areas
Tackle: Herring whole or cutplug off downrigger or diver. Fish Flash works well with 6 ft of 25 leader to 4/0-5/0 hooks.
Weather: If the weather is deemed to be not fishable notice will go by GHPSA e-mail Friday afternoon. It’s up to every Captain to know the limitations of ocean fishing for his vessel and crew.
