We went to Reedsport to fish for stripers to try to check off a bucket list item and after only 5 cast on the Smith River YES! I checked off a striper for my bucket list!! I thought this is easy but...The next day We fished nine hours covering 8 miles of the Smith in a boat without touching a fish. So much for easy fishing. We did get to go to Coos bay and get two limits of Gapers so clam chowder tonight!
Congratulations on your first striper. I enjoy eating clams but I've never heard of a Gaper. Got to look that one up.
