Well !@#$@ Neah has a small craft advisory for monday morning! 35kt west winds possible, not a place I want to be fishing.

However, down the coast towards westport the weather is supposed to be fine.
Is the fishing still hot down at westport for silvers? And if so, where do I go, I've never launched there.

8 FOOT IT IS STILL HOT FOR SILVERS IM HEADED DOWN AFTER WORK AT 1:30PM I WILL BE AT FLOAT 6 I WILL BE IN A 24FT SEASPORT SAY HI WE ARE GOING OUT TONIGHT ALSO I WILL GIVE A REPORT WHEN I RETURN! FISH-ON!!!

Help....wheres float 6? lol

Someone help me out!

Ok I found a list of ramps around Westport. Now where do I go fishing around Westport.

Go through the main part of Westport(Red Apple Grocery), and continue on down to where the Westport Shipyard is, about a mile or so, like you are going to where the charterboats are. There is a small gas station there, just where you make a right to hit the shipyard, if you pass the shipyard you have gone too far. They have fresh herring, but it is spendy at about $5.75 per dozen. This is where the boat launch line starts, if you get there after about 6:00am. I suggest that you get there by 5:00am. You can launch and wait for the charters to go out and follow them, or follow other boats from the kicker ramp.

Sekiu is a good second option if you are worried about the small craft warnings. We have never had to go farther than a mile offshore, and we have caught salmon as close as 400 yards from the boat launch with regularity, but you must release the kings.

Best of luck on the trip, let me know how you do. I hope some of the info I gave helps.

8Foot you should have been there its still smoking hot we were limited after sorting thru the wild and small ones by 9:00am the biggest was 34lbs!!!

What's the smallest boat you guys would take out of Westport? I know it's always a pick-your-day sort of thing, but what's a general rule?
I've got a 19 foot Custom Weld, it's plenty sturdy, handles the swells OK, but pretty flat bottomed, so it gets uncomfortable in small chop... I've had it 6 miles offshore up off Vancouver Island, but I never had to cross a "bar"... what do you think?

Ended up going to Neah and having a great time...30+ fish to the boat in less then 4 hours.

8ft it sounds like we had the same kind of action you are right about the coho they are going to be later in the straits there are some real nice hooknose showing we got some hatchery fish up to 15lbs and some wild fish just as big if not bigger,also the kings are still there we lost 3 nice ones.
