Scott,
Took the family
crabbing Sat.
10/27 at Windy
bay. We crabbed
the incoming
until just after
slack and ended
up 8 nice big
eaters. . We
moved around a
lot, it seem
like the crab
were constantly
on the move. We
went through a
lot of chicken
feeding the
youngsters but
it was worth the
effort. More
sunshine will
hopefully make
it better.
Thanks for all
the great site,

Scott,
Kirk Toy here the report from Roy Tann is really
Ryan Toy! I think he needs to work on spelling or
use Spell Check. The Report is that we fished from
the log at deans creek to the first bend at the
Hinsdale's old property in 10 to 15' of water using
Spinners. We have hooked and landed 4 Chinook and 9
Coho with 3 being Fin clipped.Also worked the Smith
up river waiting for the wind to lay down and had 5
take downs. They just would not stick! I hope this
helps all of you and Thank You for a great site. I
look at it daily!

As you can tell from the lack of fresh reports the past few days, fishing has slowed down some as we move further along into fall. I have had a spattering of emails from folks who have been out but not had a great deal of successes to share with us. The Umpqua has been fairly quite as of late, while the Siuslaw continues to be fairly busy with fall fishing activity, however the number of salmon being taken are few in comparison to the number of boats fishing for the them.

Tyler Grimmett took a 45lb Chinook on Friday October 6th. He was fishing with our friend George on the Yaqina River out of Toledo
Brett Grimmett
Hey there Tyler, that is one dandy Chinook you hooked up with. You don't see a whole bunch of 45 pounder's find their way into the net every year. This one will go in book of memories that you can share with your friends and family for many years to come.

Hi Todd, "reports are a little slow" is an understatement, they have really slowed down the past week. Your right, this kind of news could prompt folks to hook up the boat and head back out on the river to give it another try. That's fishing, some days it's hot and some days it's not. You can't complain about not catching fish if you didn't go. One thing that is starting to show as a common theme as of late is that most are being taken on spinners and plugs. Thanks for sending the report and the photo for the gallery.

Hi Scott,
Two salmon were caught by my dad Jerry L'italien one
clip fin and one wild Coho between 20 and 22 in 14
feet of water on a flo-go spinner. (wild Coho
released) Two clip fin Coho's caught by Jeanneane in
Gardener in 17feet of water with a spinner. We
were real happy with our day of fishing and catching
and will be back for more. We will be back again
next year from Sacramento, California.
Jeanneane Crabb
It looks like a family affair going on down there. I'm glad you folks left a few behind for the rest of us. I'm genuinely glad that you folks managed to take a few fish home with you this year. It's been a tough one and everyone has had to work pretty hard for their fish. Next year could be a record breaker, you never know till it gets here. Happy trails until we hear from you again!

Hello Scott, we fished hard Saturday 10/7 and got
this one around 12:30. Weighed in at 26lbs. This
fish took off like a silver bullet the engineer
handled it like a champ. It was his first salmon,
you should have heard his running commentary while
fighting this fish, he sounded like a sportscaster.
I do believe he will be back for more.
Fish On!
Jeff, Dave and Tom (the engineer)
Sounds like you guys had a pretty good time out
there. Tell him congratulations on a job well done.
You'll have to take the video camera along next time
and film the entire episode, we will stay tuned for
his second Salmon.

Scott,
Andy and I fished the Siuslaw River on Saturday and
Sunday and Andy caught this one around noon on
Saturday. The fish was 39.5" long, again, sorry no
weight. The fish and Wildlife officers claim that
there were 75 fish landed on Saturday. The fish are
in... maybe. Take care.
Omar and Andy
Hi there Omar and Andy, looks like you guys are doing pretty good with the salmon chasing this fall. There are more fish being reported caught ever day on the Siuslaw but you know how it works, you always get there the day after it was really good :). The Siuslaw produces some really nice fish ever year and it seems like they are starting to catch them all up down the river between Florence and Mapleton. I don't know how much longer it will last but enjoy while you can.

Hi Scott, we are having a lot of problems catching
salmon so we went sturgeon fishing on the umpqua
river today. My friend Gary caught this beauty this
morning on sand shrimp, it measured 59" long. We
only had the one bite, but it was the right fish.
Good fishing to you.
Tracy Williams
Hey Tracy, looks like you had the better idea. The salmon fishing is off and on again, isn't it wonderful to have so many great fishing opportunities here on the coast ? That is one great looking sturgeon, I just polished off a package of smoked sturgeon this afternoon, it's great stuff. Sturgeon fishing takes allot of patients but when you hook up, it's usually allot of fun.

Hi Scott,
Fished the Siuslaw with Family on 10-1 and caught
this 22 lb Chinook. Great fight. This is the first
big fish my kids have seen they were crying and
telling me to throw it back, and that they don't
like that fish. Needless to say it is filleted and
in the freezer.
On 10-8 I took some friends from work and we hooked
into this 26lb chromer. Ever better fight. Only bite
all day. The Siuslaw sure has been slow this year.
Lots of boats in the water and not much action.
Scott Touchette
Hello Scott, nice first name ;) . Looks like you had a little better luck than some this fall. The fishing has not been as hot as it has been in some of the more recent falls in memory, but fish are being taken, you just have to put in more time and energy to get to them. That was a pretty funny story with the kids, it must be pretty intimidating to see a fish as big as you are coming in the boat. I don't know if I would want to pull a fish as big as I am in the boat either.

Hi Scott.
The wife Pat and I hit the Umpqua this morning .
Beautiful day no Wind and no Fog all Sun We were
fishing with spinners up by the elk view. Pat caught
one Coho and I caught one Chinook This has not been
the best year for salmon But as the ole saying goes
that's fishing. We had fun. Caught enough for the
smoker and a little for steaks. We will be back next
year for sure. Bigger and better fish.
Jerry & Pat L'Italien
Hi Jerry, I hear you, as has been mentioned, some years we just have to work a little harder for our fish than others. Things were a little bit slower than usual this year but we have had years like this before and will again. The bright side is there are many more really great years than ones like this one has been. Thanks for sharing your fishing reports with us while you were here and I look forward to hearing more fishing stories from you and your family next year. I hope you will visit our site often between now and then.

Hi Scott, took a break from salmon fishing on
Friday and went to the Columbia and caught these 2
nice Sturgeon. Will be back on the Siuslaw next
week. Take care, Bob

Hello Bob, it's been pretty busy on the Siuslaw while you were gone, I don't know how many fish they are catching but there have been a bunch of boats out there working it. Looks like you did well to take a break and go chase some sturgeon for a day or two. The salmon will still be here when you get back. :). Couple of satisfied customers and nice looking sturgeon, must have good a day.

Fished the Siuslaw today with my Dad (Ed) he got his
first Siuslaw fall Chinook.
Fished from daylight till almost noon till he got
this one. He said it was worth the wait.
Nick S.
Hi Nick, I'm with your dad on this one, it was worth the wait. We get a little spoiled having had some really productive seasons the past few years. I think everyone has had to work a little harder for their catch this year. That is a beautiful fish your dad took home with him and I'll bet he is munching down on some smoked salmon right now. There is nothing quite as good as some home made smoked salmon made from a fish you caught yourself.

Hi ,Scott This is my first report but longtime reader , We fished the bar on 10-3-06 had a great day we went 10 for 16 with three Native Coho and 7 nookie,s 22 lbs to 32 lbs . Great weather and great guide. thanks for all your work on the site
Thanks Peter Davis Redmond, Oregon
Hi Peter, thanks for sharing your report and pictures with us. It looks like Sully got you folks into plenty of good fishing on this trip. It is always nice to hear when folks are going home with an ice chest full of salmon. Hope you make it over our way again soon.

Hey Scott,
Drove my girlfriend out to the Siuslaw the other
day where she landed this 30lb salmon.
Fishing has slowed down quite a bit. Not
sure why. Haven't heard of any really good
days on that river yet. This is her first
salmon and she reeled it in like a pro.
Had him whooped and he came into the net belly
up!!! Just how I like them!!
Good fishing,
Steven
Hey there Steven, you must be pretty serious about this one, took her fishing? It's comforting to know that your girl can land a fish, now the real trick, can she cook it? Looks like you got a keeper there bud, the girl and fish! Thanks for the report and photo for our gallery.

Hi Scott and Larry Well we had a great day out on the big pond today hooked over 18 fish before 9.00 am and managed to net 12 nice Chinooks the ocean was like a lake and the sun was out ,and the fish were on the bite can you ask for anything more our customers were all smiles. Tight Lines Captain Rick www.salmonharborcharterfishing.com
Woooo Hooo! what a difference a day makes huh? Man your customers had allot to smile about today with that haul. There is nothing quite as satisfying as heading home from a trip to the coast than a limit of salmon in the ice chest. Great Day, great weather, great ocean and great fishing, just doesn't get much better than that.
Scott

Scott,
Steve and I fished the Siuslaw all day Saturday and
we caught one Chinook at 6:15pm (38" long< sorry no
weight). Slow and Hard fishing, but it paid off
toward the end of the day. We fished about a mile
upriver from the port of Siuslaw boat launch.
Thanks for all your help. See the attached
picture. I have another picture with no blood that
I will try to send to you later.
Omar and Steve
Hi Omar and Steve, just a rough eyeball guesstimate would put that one at about 40lbs. You are right about it being slow this last weekend. I got a few emails from folks that worked it pretty hard and went home with an empty fish locker so count your blessings. The Siuslaw has always produced fewer fish than the Umpqua but the overall fish size taken from the Siuslaw tends to be larger. Fall is in the air but there is still plenty of days of good fishing ahead of us. If you can send along the other picture of your catch we will post it right along side of this one so everyone can see the before and after :). They have been some real lookers this year.
Scott

Hi Mike, haven't heard from you in awhile, glad to see you got over here and got in on some of the action at Windy Bay. Looks like your doing it right whatever your doing now all you need to do is let us all in on your secret...hahahaha! Thanks for the report and the pictures!
Scott
10/01/2006
Hi Scott,
Fished the Umpqua the last couple days with nothing
to show for it so we decided to head for big pond
today and found these two at more than 10 miles
out. Had them both on at the same time so it was a
challenge getting them netted with only two people
in the boat. The ocean got rough so we called it
quits early.
Tight lines
Huan & Deanna
H Huan & Deanna, looks like you were able to take something home to show for your time and fuel. I just got a report from Rick Mason this morning that said he did pretty good out on the pond yesterday too. It can be almost like a Laurel and Hardy movie watching two people hooked up at the same time. I guess you just get the littlest one aboard first so someone is freed up to bring the bigger one in and not try to manage a rod at the same time. I'm glad you headed in when the ocean started to rough up a little. I see some folks try to hang around out too long and get themselves into trouble trying to get back over the bar.
Scott

9-30-06 Hi guys we made it out on the big pond again to the same spot we got them on the 29th 400ft of water fishing down 127 ft straight out from the entrance and found these guys including this 40 plus pounder caught by our return customer Jim from Nevada way to go Jim. bottom fishing starts tomorrow in the deep water we will fill you in on all the action . Tight Lines Captain Rick www.salmonharborcharterfishing.com
Well it looks like you have them dialed in again at least for the time being, everyone's hand's look full, just the way you like to see them :). That 40lb'r really stands out, almost makes his other one look like a trout instead of a salmon. Thanks for the report Captain Rick, I'll bet a few of the folks head out over the bar if they are not doing to good on the river and follow your directions.
Scott
