Team Defiance Fishing Trip 8-21 Ilwaco Wa


. It was a great day on the ocean. Lots of Jumpers and puddlers. It was completely a Live Bait game. Getting the fish to hit the trolled gear was tough. So Bring your live bait game. But with lots of live bait, it is wide open. We fished around 46.09 and 124.45. We never left this area. Good Temp 61.5 and real drastic blue water break in the area. We put 24 Tuna in the box by about 1:30 and then ran in to do some Salmon fishing. Very good size Silvers outside of the Columbia right now. A couple of 15lb fish and lots of 10-12 lb fish. We limited in about 1 1/2 hours and headed for the barn. Great day on the water. The Bar was a little sporty, but as soon as we hit the Astoria canyon, flat water , greasy smooth. It was a truly great day, with fast and furious action. The Pilothouse Boat was great and kept us dry throughout the day. The Columbia Bar was very nasty going out and pretty rough coming in. But the Defiance 250 Ex gobbled up the big seas and got us comfortably to the fishing grounds and back.
