Sloth- Before Bob & others give you more localized tips, allow me to direct you to a lenghty tech report on fishing for coastal sringers on our BB (so I won't have to type it all over again- I just wrote it up today). Access www.ifish.net and scroll down the right side a bit to click on the new Ifish Discussion Board. From there click on the Reel Truth BB, then on "Tips For Tillamook & Coastal Springers" by RT. While it is oriented toward that area, I think the tech.s within that post will be good for most coastal area springer fishing in Oregon & Washington. The first half is about saltwater & tidewater fishing, & the latter part is about fishing n the rivers. Good luck, Steve Hanson
