Awesome job, Kyle. Great information. Thank you. Please keep these coming!

[@PNWBestLife]

Thank you 🙏 will do!

[@DovgalyukProductions]

love your videos, simple clean straight to the point no spam or misleading stuff keep it up

[@PNWBestLife]

Thank you! 🙏

Awesome stuff, I'll catch one of your live feeds someday! Thanks for putting all this together. I'm very intimidated by bar crossings, as I've never done it, and trying to figure it out by reading about it or watching YT really worries me (particularly when I have kids on board). So Westport/Ilwaco really seems out of reach for me without absolutely ideal conditions until I get a feel for things.

Thanks for watching! Have you read my article on Marine Weather Safety? Maybe we can try to plan a trip one day or at least feel free to chat with me on trip planning advice

[@djmilhaus]

@@PNWBestLife Oh yeah, your site is bookmarked and I reference it for a lot. I've read that article more than once. I'd love a chance to hit the water with you (or someone that knows the bar at Westport) to show me what they are looking for, avoiding, dangers, etc. Really appreciate you, Kyle.

[@PNWBestLife]

For sure! Hit me up on email: [e-mail] or IG DM and I would love to figure out a time that works.

[@sunfish87]

Right on. Thanks, your video inspired me to do a couple things. I want to get out there, encounter God and catch some salmon for the most part.

[@PNWBestLife]

Love it man! We are so blessed to be able to experience all that the PNW has to offer!

Hi Kyle, California has closed salmon season for a second year in a row and I am thinking about going up to Washington or Alaska to fish for salmon. On a troll here we typically use rods with line class 12-25 or 12-30lb. Is that the same type of rods you use up there? I am buying a phenix REDEYE travel rod with that line class so I can bring it on the airplane with a shimano tekota 600 line counter reel. What are your thoughts?

[@PNWBestLife]

I’m not familiar with the rod you mentioned, but the line ratings sound right. I use a 10’6 Okuma MH I think it’s rated 15-30. Good reel as well. Thanks for watching!
