Fishing on the Hoquiam River

The RV park we are staying at is called Hoquiam River RV park and our spot is right by the river. Earlier today, we drove out to Ocean Shores, a little seaside town and looked around. Once again, we encountered the ocean fog. In Hoquiam, the temp was around 65 degrees, but as we started to drive into the fog the temp dropped to around 50 degrees and the wind picked up. We drove on the beach for a little bit but the tide was high and the driving "lane" was occasionally in the surf. It made me nervous that we would get stuck so we turned back. This beach was really flat! It looked like you could walk way out there and only be up to your knees. Anyway, there were signs along the beach saying that the currents were very strong and you could get swept out to sea and drown...but have fun. Just kidding, I made up the last part. We did stop at a seafood market to pick up some shrimp cocktail and a shrimp or two for bait. Later, we tried fishing in the river by our RV. I didn't hold out much hope because I'm the unluckiest fisherwoman in the world. But, if you can believe it, I did catch a couple of little fish. Turns out, they were lingcod. In order to keep them, they had to be two feet but ours were less than 6 inches. Anyway, I caught one and we had a good time.
