onight, Siuslaw fans will hear the
much-anticipated squeak of basketball
shoes on the hardwood as Viking girls
and boys basketball teams officially tip off for
the 2017-18 preseason on the road at Creswell
High School.
For the Lady Vikings, it will be the first of
six road games before hosting their home
opener on Dec. 12, when they play Cottage
Grove — a team they will face as Sky-Em
opponents next season. From courtside, new
head coach Greg Reynolds, who has been the
girls’ junior varsity coach the past three sea-
sons and interim varsity coach following last
week’s departure of previous head coach

Crabbing remains open along portions of Oregon coast
The Oregon Department of
Agriculture and the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife
recently announced the reopening of
recreational and commercial bay
crabbing from the north jetty of the
Coquille River to the north jetty of
Coos Bay.
The reopening includes crab har-
vested in bays and estuaries, and on
beaches, docks, piers and jetties.
Crab samples taken from the area
indicate levels of domoic acid have
dropped and remain below the alert
level. However, crab harvesting
remains closed from the California
border to the north jetty of the
Coquille River (including the
Coquille estuary), and from
Tahkenitch
Creek
(north
of
Winchester
Bay)
to
Cape
Foulweather (north of Newport).
Crabbing
north
of
Cape
Foulweather to the Columbia River
remains open in bays and estuaries,
and on beaches, docks, piers and jet-
ties.

— South Coast
The south coast area
extends along the Oregon
coast from Yachats south to
the Oregon-California bor-
der. The area offers some
of the most productive and
scenic warmwater fishing
in the state with excellent
fishing for bass and panfish
available in large waters
such as Mercer Lake,
Siltcoos Lake, and
Tahkenitch Lake.
Tenmile Lakes located
north of Coos Bay is
renowned for its crappie
and trophy bass fisheries,
and the site of bass tourna-
ments. Anglers should also
try one of the many smaller
lakes scattered along
Highway 101 and through-
out the coastal dunes area,
or Triangle Lake closer to
the Willamette Valley.
The warmwater fish
available in the south coast
area include: Largemouth
bass, smallmouth bass,
bullheads, black crappie,
bluegill, pumpkinseed, yel-
low perch, green sunfish,
warmouth and channel cat-
fish.
North and South
Tenmile Lake provide
some of the finest
warmwater fishing on the
Oregon coast. Located on
the east side of Hwy 101
mid-way between
Reedsport and Coos Bay,
the combined lakes offer
nearly 2,000 acres of water
and miles of shoreline to
fish for largemouth bass,
bluegill, crappie and brown
bullhead catfish.
Much of the property
around Tenmile is private-
ly-owned and the lakes are
best fished by boat, but a
fishing dock at Tenmile
Lake County Park in the
small community of
Lakeside is wheelchair
accessible and a great spot
for kids. There also is a
campground and boat
launch at the County Park.
Spinreel Campground (US
Forest Service) on the west
side of Hwy 101 offers
camping for those wanting
an extended stay.
Several area resorts and
marinas also provide
camping spaces, lodging
and boat rentals.
The shoreline of North
and South Tenmile is var-
ied as a number of streams
flow from the coastal
foothills and into the lakes
