I am planning on hitting the flat tides at B-10 this year on the 21st-22nd. In the past I had always stayed with friends on the OR side but they have moved and now I am faced with finding on the WA side: (1) a decent campground nearby, and (2) a decent ramp from which to launch. I usually fish upstream but in sight of the bridge. Any things to do / not do, places to go/ not go?

Look into the Deep River launch. There is a couple of camp ground to. You can largely avoid the madness by doing this.

Camping other than tent is hard to find down there right now. Good luck.

Even tent camping will be hard to find at this point.

I joined thousand trails a couple of years ago and love it... campgrounds aren't quite as nice as the state parks but they are kept clean and most of them have a pool. Just checked the park in long beach and it has open tent sites this weekend...

I get my $450 worth every year between razor clamming at ocean shores or the random weekends we spend at longbeach, seaside and crescent bar...

At this point, all overnighting is going to be hard to find without advanced planning. I've slept in the bottom of the boat, under a street light in a seafood processing plant parking lot for 5 nights straight down there. I do not recommend that.

Good info fellas, thanks. Looks like I will have to bite the bullet, head down to look around to see what looks good to me, and make reservations early for next year.

Yeah I make my reservations 9 months in advance for bouy-10 each year. I think this is the 20th year in a row................Good luck,

SZ


PS, I've done just about all mentioned up top, sleepy under the truck in a gravel lot,in the boat on fish blood and slim.......next to a dumpster, in a hotel,in a tent, in my RV........It pay's to plan @ least 6 months ahead of time for that fishery.

Things not to do:

a) Hit The GoldenChild's wife in the face with a 16 ounce cannon ball. Or if you do, be sure to have an eye surgeon near by.

b) Sleep in the same room with the GoldenChild and his wife when she has a 1:00 am "emergency" that requires the GoldenChild to drive all over Astoria looking for some medicine.

c) Leave all of your expensive rods and reels out and about instead of locking them in the lockable boat rod lockers.

d) Yell at Sledddddder.

Thing(s) to do:

e) If you end up on Rico's boat, bring your own gear, beer, lifejacket, 5-gallon can of gas, and a tow rope, as you know you're going to just use up that gas until you run out rather than go back in port. Anyone have a tow rope I can borrow?

Aside from that, I think you're good to go.

You forgot earplugs, a hand held VHF and at least 6 spare cell phones for Rico's boat.

Oddly, your trips with Rico sound eerily familiar to trips I take with my crew.

Considering Rico and I are the ones who fish together the most I can wholeheartedly agree with most everything said in this thread...but add on that at least we make reservations in the winter for a week in August at the KOA and always have somewhere to stay...assuming we don't run out of gas in the boat and float to Japan, or Hawaii, or something.

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. We also catch as many fish as anyone has any right to down there wink

another thing not to do. Not clothesline the tweaker that rides his bike through the campground right before daylight an hour before the rods are noticed stolen. Next sighting, drop like a bad transmission, question when wakes up in blackberry bushes.

NOSHITx10,000,000

Between Doc's rods and the couple he snatched out of our boat he had to have made at least a few trips and stashed them around somewheres...but a few hours of looking around town didn't turn him or his stash up.

Not this year.

Fish on...

Todd
