Beach Safety When visiting the scenic Oregon Coast and participating in recreational activities, safety should be a concern. Tragic water accidents happen quickly. The most common reason for aquatic mishaps is a lack of safety knowledge. We recommend the following safety tips: • Know your tsunami evacuation route.

• Learn to swim.

• Never swim alone.

• Supervise children closely.

• Always tell someone else when and where you plan to enter the ocean, whether to surf, swim, skim or boogie board or to take part in any other ocean or beach-related activities.

• Always remember the ocean in this area is normally 55 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. It is a good idea to use a wetsuit or other protective gear when swimming.

In these temperatures, it takes just minutes for hypothermia to set in.

• Don’t rely on flotation devices, such as rafts.

• If caught in a rip current, swim sideways until free; parallel to the beach. Don’t swim against the current’s pull.

• Alcohol and swimming, surfing,

windsurfing or boating don’t mix.

• Protect your head, neck and spine. Don’t dive into unfamiliar waters.

• If you are in trouble, call or wave for help.

• Follow posted regulations.

• Swim parallel to shore if you wish to swim long distances.

• Scuba dive only if trained and certified -- and within the limits of your training.

• No glass containers at the beach -- broken glass and bare feet don’t mix.

• No beach fires except in designated areas.

• Report hazardous conditions.

• Stay clear of coastal bluffs. They can collapse and cause injury.

• Never turn your back to the ocean. You may be swept off coastal bluffs, beaches or tide

pool areas and into the water by “sneaker” waves that can come without warning.

• Do not climb up onto logs on the beach. While they look heavy and sturdy when climbing on them, the smallest wave will roll it over you or a child. Killer logs are real.

• Be aware of sneaker waves, even on the calmest days. Don’t turn your back on the ocean and keep your eye on the surf. Avoid “Killer Surf.”

• Have your beach access available to you at all times. A big wave can come right up to a seawall, leaving you no path for safety, getting you cold, wet and possibly swimming when you don’t want to do any of the three.

• Stay on accessible high ground when storm-agitated surf is on the beach. Oregon State Parks maintains dozens of safe roadside parks and campground access points right along Highway 101 where you can get great photos of dramatic winter surf without endangering yourself.

• Dress for the weather. Layer your clothes to provide you warmth and comfort. And carry along your rain gear to keep you dry when it does drizzle.

• Stay off of coastal jetties.

Jetties were never intended for

recreation. Powerful waves remove or shift even the largest boulders from the jetties, creating dangers. While it may be apparent the rocks are slippery or strong waves could overtop the structure, jetties have hidden dangers of open crevasses, sinkholes and caverns.

Local author gives crabbing advice Bill Lackner, author of “Oregon’s Crabs” knows as much about crabbing in Lincoln County as anyone..

Although he prefers crabbing from local docks, Lackner said as fishing from a boat in the bays because the proximity to deeper leads to greater success.

As for time of day, crabbing “is best at low tide or at high tide, a half hour either side,” he said. “Then, it’s best during neap tides.” “Spring tides and neap tides are governed by the position of the sun in relation to the Earth and the moon,” Lackner wrote in his book.

“The spring tides occur during the new moon or full moon when the sun, moon and Earth are aligned. During the alignment, the gravitational pull causes tidal fluctuations that are greater than usual, resulting in the highest high tides and the lowest low tides. The fact that water appears to spring away from the Earth is the reason the tides are referred to as spring tides.”

Lackner said spring tides are a good time for clamming, and added that crabs tend to bury themselves in sand and are difficult to catch.

Neap tides - Lackner’s favorite time to go crabbing - are during the first and third quarter phases of the moon, when the sun and the moon are at right angles to one another in conjunction to their relative position of the earth. This results in lower high tides and higher low tides.

The author said that besides the tides, crabbing depends on whether there is fresh water or salt water in the bays.

Crabs like the salt water, he said.

Lackner recommends using recreational crab pots over all other types of traps because the crabs can’t get out once they’re in. He said although he has done well with chicken and turkey legs, the best baits he has used are squid, mussels, and clams.

Neap tides happen once every two weeks, which is when Lackner goes on his crabbing expeditions. “I don’t advise anybody to go out in the rain, because of the chance of lightning,” he said.

Lackner added that he like to go crabbing about two hours before the incoming tide. He also said that crabbing at night is better than during the day.

Another word of advice is “don’t put live Dungeness and red rock crab in the same bucket,” he said.

Although the limit is 12 Dungeness and 24 red rock crabs per day, Lackner said people shouldn’t take more than they need, because the meat doesn’t freeze well.

When catching crabs, Lackner said it is best to keep them fresh and make sure to pick them up properly. He keeps his on ice.

The best way to pick them up is from the back legs.

For Dungeness crabs, only males larger than 5-3/4 inches across the carapace in front of the points, and any red rock can be kept, “but only the big ones (5-6 inches) are worth keeping.”

Lincoln County crabbing spots include Waldport, Newport, Depoe Bay, Siletz Bay and the Salmon River estuary.

Surfperch Surf fishing is one of Oregon’s most underutilized fisheries. There are hundreds of places to fish along Oregon’s sandy beaches, and there are plenty of fish within an easy cast from shore.

fish for them is in the spring and early summer when they school up along sandy shorelines for spawning. The best fishing often occurs on an incoming tide, especially an hour or two before high tide.

Schools of surfperch often congregate within 30 feet of the shoreline, darting in and out of the surging surf in search of food, and presenting an accessible target for anglers.

License requirements A general Oregon Angling License is all that’s required to fish for surfperch.

Equipment for surfperch fishing

Rod and reel Surfperch fishing requires heavy tackle – not to land a 2-pound fish but to handle the heavy surf these fish live in.

While there are a lot of personal preferences when it comes to fishing tackle, good starter outfit for surfperch could include a long (9- to 11-foot) rod capable of handling a 2- to 6ounce weight, and a spinning reel large enough to hold 200-300 yards of 15- to 30-pound monofilament line. If you’d like to try surfperch fishing before you invest in new tackle, some sporting

Surfperch (continued) goods stores on the coast allow you to rent rods and reels by the day.

Terminal tackle A popular set-up for surfperch includes two #4 or #2 hooks, some swivels and a pyramid sinker. Three sided pyramid sinkers are common, easy to cast and tend to roll less in the surf.

The size of the weight will vary with surf conditions and the size of your rod – use whatever it takes (usually 2 to 6 ounces) to keep your rigging in one spot in the surf. About 12 inches above the sinker attach a 3-way swivel. On one loop tie on the first hook with 6-8 inches of monofilament. You want just enough monofilament to keep your bait away from the mainline. About 16 inches above the first hook attach a second hook in the same way.

Bait Popular baits for surfperch include mole crabs, marine worms, sand shrimp, mussels and clam necks – the choice depends on availability, convenience and personal preference.

Many anglers gather crabs, worms and shrimp during low tide from the same beaches they’re going to fish later. A growing number of surfperch anglers are using plastic baits such as Berkley Gulp sand worms, which are convenient, stay on the hook well and catch fish.

Footwear Fishing in the surf, it’s guaranteed your feet are going to get wet. If air and water temperatures are comfortable,

many anglers simply wear shorts and sandals and get wet. In cooler waters, however, you will be more comfortable in good quality hip boots that keep your feet and legs dry. Chest waders can be comfortable if it’s cold and rainy, but aren’t usually necessary.

Other surfperch opportunities Many kinds of surfperch are also found in bays, estuaries and along rocky ocean shorelines. Look for water with some kinds of structure (rocks, jetties, pilings, sunken ships, etc.) and keep your line and bait close to that structure. In most cases, you won’t be dealing with heavy surf so you can use lighter gear than that for surf fishing. Sand shrimp is a popular bait in these environments, but don’t hesitate to check with local bait sellers to see what’s been “hot” in that area.

One bonus of fishing in bays and from rocky shores is the opportunity to catch other kinds of fish such as rockfish and greenling, in addition to several other kinds of surfperch.

A final note on keeping fish The bag limit for surfperch is generous – 15 per day. However, a lot remains unknown about the size of surfperch populations off the Oregon Coast. Certainly keep enough for a dinner or two (they are excellent eating), but don’t hesitate to catch and then carefully release surfperch to help safeguard future populations.

Fun Recipes

Aluminum Foil Camping Recipes for Kids

These aluminum foil camping recipes for kids are sure to be a big hit. Kids love to cook while camping and a box of aluminum foil is almost all the cooking gear they need. The beauty of foil cooking is that kids literally just have to spray with non-stick spray (or you can use non-stick aluminum foil), assemble, and fold it closed. Use heavy duty aluminum foil or double wrap it - this will ensure the pouch won’t rip.

Banana Boat The banana boat is unique and delicious. To make this special treat, cut a well into one side of the banana and save the banana slice. Fill the well with chunks of chocolate and replace banana slice to cover chocolate. Wrap in foil leaving room on both ends to twist into handles.

Cook boat over the fire for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the banana is warm. Yum! Pocket Pizza 1 pkg pita bread 1 can spaghetti/pizza sauce 1 cup grated cheese 1 pkg sliced pepperoni or other pre-cooked meat Optional: sliced black olives, pineapple chunks

15

and diced peppers.

Cut each pita in half and spoon sauce into pocket spreading it evenly. Add cheese, pepperoni, and other toppings. Wrap in foil and place in coals. Cook for a couple minutes, flip, and cook another two minutes.

Campfire Popcorn 18” square tin foil 1 Tablespoon popcorn kernels 1 teaspoon oil Butter and salt for seasoning Tear off an 18 inch square of tin foil. In center of each square add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon popcorn. Bring corners together and tie with a string. Place on hot coals and shake with a long stick until popcorn is popped. Season with butter and salt if desired.

Cinnamon & Sugar Biscuits on a Stick Start with Bisquick in a zip-lock bag. Make a well in the Bisquick, and add some water. Mix with a stick, and eventually cover the end of the stick with the dough. Toast over the fire, until cooked through. Roll in melted butter and cinnamon/sugar mix.

Enjoy the sweet biscuits for breakfast or a snack.
