I Love to fish for Salmon on the Columbia River, and at the Ocean out of Ilwaco. I also enjoy crabbing there. I also fish lake Merwin for Kokanee often as I live close.
Just joined the site....started fishing just this summer after taking my 3 girls out on a 4 hour fluke trip here in cape may nj..they loved it and so did i....now i find myself on the beach every morning trying to surf fish....being a complete novice...im learning as i go...but am enjoying the experience.

Thank u....hopefully you guys can help from time to time with questions i might have....turns out i spent a lot of time this summer throwing blood worms into an empty ocean as tides and lunar cycles are a new mystery to me...lol.
I sometimes drive down to Tillamook and fish out of Garibaldi and crab there. Its awesome. It is 2.5 hours one way and a $32 one day licence however. UGH I can't afford to do that very often at the expense however.
Is there an app that would let me know if fishing conditions are good before i load up the truck and trek tonthe beach? Would save me a lot of wasted time.....

Welcome to the Forum, Bigger Al & Danger, Danger you might try the local tide chart, if you fishing the Coast. Sometimes they will give you a hint, for whatever it is worth.
Thanks ...will do Flyguy.....i have however figured out when low and high tide are down here but was floored when guy at tackle shop said i had wasted my time because there was a “ new moon” a couple nights back and that nobody is catching anything......lol....how the heck was I supposed to know That?

I've heard Fishbrain was good, but I've never used it. Check the local tackle shops where you are going to fish. That's the best place for local info.
