I fish B10 in a 17'Stryker. Last year had a bad experience in the afternoon wind and outgoing tide, it was nasty but safely retuened after a long bumpy ride. Now, for fishing. I always try to fish the incoming tide or try to get out about an hour before low if in the morning, usually calmer with no wind. I troll the Wash. side by the church or above the bridge. You can buy a map from the FishnMap Co. for the Columbia R. from Bonneville Dam down to B10. Pay attention to the sand flats, gets shallow pretty quick. I use 25lb mainline, No. 0 or 1 deepsix diver, a small fishflash flasher(clear with siver prism tape) and about a 5-6ft. leader with a rotary salmon killer on home tied double solid mooching hooks with about six size 5 beads between hooks and rotator. Stick a herring or chovy on it and put it out 15-25 pulls and keep out of everyone elses way. It shouldn't be to long before you have to ask your partner for the net. When the tide starts to turn and the wind picks up, GET OFF THE RIVER, only bad things will happen if you don't. I launch in Warrenton on the Oregon side, it's close to the bridge and a shorter drive. You can get bait right there at TackleTime next to the launch, call ahead, I'd give you the #, but can't find it right now. Was fishing down there last week and got zip, about another week to ten days it should pick up. Good Luck.
