Just talked the wife to get off the lakes and take to boat to some bigger water. We are headed to area 5 or 6. I am trying to stay near PA. I have 5 kids and will take 3 out at a time to catch some salmon, not chum all day. We have never fished up that way but have worked there once and loved being there. If you guys can give me some ideas on where to go and not to far out, I would appreciate it. My hidden hope is the kids just have a blast fishing that they will not want to leave. Let me know. Oh, I have a 20' boat and have fished up and down on the Columbia.

My advice would be to continue up the hwy another hour to Sekiu, I was there yesterday and just slayed the silvers, caught 12 and missed about ten other hits. It was like it was September up there. The kids will have a blast you can't bait your hook fast enough.

If that won't work fish out by ediz hook, for more info on ediz go to salmonuniversity.com and there is a section in there on were to fish.
