Fishing Buzz
Crabbing- Crab fisherman continue to have success in our coastal waters. We have spoken with several fishermen who have reached their limit in a very short amount of time. Even those crabbing inside the bar have had great success.

Salmon Fishing- Chinook and Coho continue to be caught in our local waters, though the bite is not quite as strong as before. We are hoping that the incoming rain will entice these fish to bite once again. We did have an interesting story of a Y Family Member landing a salmon with little effort at all. In fact, he didn’t even have a line in the water! A 21lb Chinook salmon jumped right out of the water and on to the bank of the Coquille River. He ran down to look at the fish, and after a quick photo opportunity, the fish was released.

Don’t forget, Y Marina now carries North Country Lures, and it is Super Hoochie time! Y Family Members have had great success with the North Country Super Hoochies, Sonic Bells, and Super Magnums. These lures are American made, right up the road in Florence, Oregon by the Dean and Pat Hendricks. We have just received a brand new shipment of lures, which includes the all new casting model Super Hoochie. Hurry in before they are gone! Visit www.nclaf.com for more information on the Hendricks family and their business, North Country Lures and Flies.

For any additional fishing tips feel free to contact Dean Hendricks of North Country Lures and Flies LLC. Dean had been a professional guide for over 27 years, with roots all over Northern California. He is still very much involved with the ODFW and many of the local fisheries programs. Mr. Hendricks is in constant contact with a network of professional fishing guides and is happy to provide any knowledge that he comes across. You can email Dean Hendricks at northcountryluresandflies@yahoo.com.

November Service Department News
Our service department will be closed from October 23rd to December 7th. Dick and the team would like to thank all of you for your patience during our busy summer months, and for choosing Y Marina for your boat or engine service. If you did not have a chance to get your boat or outboard in for winterization or any other service work this fall, we will be back up and running on December 7th. Feel free to call Dick Hyatt and schedule your boat or engine service, 541-888-5501. You can also schedule your service online at www.ymarinaboats.com. We look forward to seeing you this winter!

Here is one quick tip for those Y Family members storing their boats for winter. Our engine manufacturers have suggested that you fill your fuel tank before storing your boat this winter. The addition of ethanol to the fuel pumped around the state has led to increasing engine problems, due to water accumulation in the fuel. By completely filling your tank, it will not allow space for water to enter your fuel tank. A full tank, coupled with a good fuel stabilizer should keep your engine running smooth year round.

John Griffith's Fishing Tip for November - Note Taking
Tuna, salmon, rockfish and lingcod, what's not to like about living on Oregon's south coast. Nature served up a full measure of fine times and dining this year: We had early, great tuna fishing this year with tuna water close in; hot salmon fishing in the Umpqua in July, no less, and right on through August; a Coho fishery outside and inside, with quick limits in the river inside the jetties clear up to the North Bend airport, and Chinook fishing in Coos Bay from mid August through September. Have boat, eat well.

It's always great to see lots of people out having a good time. Crowding seems like a problem until we go elsewhere and see what crowds are really like (Buoy 10 on the Columbia, the Rogue bay fishery). Here, we've been able to spread out as we learn that there's more places in Coos and other bays to fish than most of us knew about before. There's also ways and times to fish them that might not be the same ways and times we're used to.

As I wrote this in early October, great Coho fishing was underway in the lower Coquille. I went three days in a row, and got my one Coho per day right off the bat. About 15 years ago, I began to keep notes, not on every trip but when I have what I think is a noteworthy experience or a few such experiences that suggest a pattern worth remembering. Sometimes I've gone a year without adding to them; sometimes I add to them a few days in a row, and always after trips out of town, like to Mexico.

In the case of those three days of fishing on the Coquille, the key to success was to be at the highest reach of cooler water (not the highest reach of tidewater, but cool, incoming water) trolling in 15 feet of water, with two ounces of lead and 60 feet of line out. I avoided the temptation to fling spinners at jumping Coho in shallow water, but used my time with the same set-up I use for Chinook: spreader, flasher, 44 inches of leader and a double-hook plug herring rig.

Making notes is the fishing tip, not the exact place. By keeping notes on pages of a notebook that doesn't get lost, I have those breakthroughs to review in future years prior to seasons' starting. I went decades without keep a notebook, but as I age I learn that my memory isn't particularly less sharp, but rather it wasn't as good as I thought it was when I was younger.

November Y Family Entry
This month’s Y Family entry comes from Tom and Betty Jean, and it is in regards to their purchase of a brand new Fish-Rite Performer. We would like to thank Tom and Betty for sending us their testimonial, as this week it features our sales and front office team!

Just a quick email to say how impressed we were working with Scott and Russ buying our new Fish-Rite Performer, this past July. Scott was great in returning our phone calls and answering all of our questions about a new boat purchase. We traded in our old boat and drove away with our new Fish-Rite. And, when we got back to Crescent City we were in the water the next day catching our limits of bottom fish. Debbie was also a great help with all the paper work in the office. I priced boats all over the internet and other Oregon dealers and found that Y Marina has the best boat deals.

Thank You
