Well I myself like to use my steelehead rod and reel but most i see out there are useing a bit larger. I use 8-15 pound test with my steelhead rod and it makes them a blast to catch. They have been catching them pretty consistantly but the tide changes do have an effect on when the bite is better and i believe if i remember right from low tide to high tide is best. I use sand shrimp and make sure you have a tiny hook or its just to hard to get em. I was at nehalem a few weeks ago and did great and also saw a few of your 5 pounders caught..Yaquina should be great as well it is personaly one of my favorite spots to go...Have fun catch lots of fish and good to see you here at bft..Patti
