While not directly on the coast, West Point provides access to crucial migratory routes for these powerful fish. The fall run is prime time, as salmon return to spawn in the upper reaches of the rivers. Trolling is a popular method, especially in the deeper channels. Focus on areas where the rivers meet the bay, paying attention to current seams and depth changes. Use lures or bait that mimic the local forage, such as shad or anchovies. Be prepared to adjust your depth as the fish move with the tides and water temperatures. Access to the water is primarily by boat; several marinas and launch ramps are located nearby. Keep an eye on the Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations, as Chinook seasons and size limits can fluctuate.
