I'm a inland bass fishin', steelheadin' hillbilly from the mainland goin to Neah bay for a four day weekend....not lost, just want to catch some salmon that haven't been camped out in the snake river for months....(not used to silver colored fish.) Would really like to hear any 2cents worth.... any help, suggestions, preventive headache remedies from the pros would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

There are TONS of past posts here on Neah. do a search here and check them out. In a nutshell... take dramamine, buzz bombs, green flashers, and pink mini hootchies and you'll catch more fish they you can imagine.... Ask where they're biting at Big Salmon resort... they'll steer you straight! Have a blast. oh, and BRING A GPS! The fog rolls in fast and thick!

When I was there a couple weeks ago the hot lures were the cop-car coyote spoon, 4 and 5 inch , trolled 40" behind a hotspot chartruse or green flasher. Also, a green label herring on a rotary salmon killer, (a plastic head to spin a whole herring). One guy had a hot day with an Apex spoon in a bluish silver color, trolled behind with a 4 oz banana sinker. In the fog you had to be careful, the silvers hammered the lures before you could get them on the downrigger clip, had to be careful the line wasn't tip wrapped as then the line would break off if it was a silver of any size. When the fishing was slower, the guys that jigged up live herring at the docks and used them were getting action when lures/cutplugs were waiting. Ask at the docks, most guys would tell you what they used and where they were. The only thing that was slow was the bottom fishing, had to work hard for the ling/cabizon/bass we did get.
