No he was the one who cut the guys line and threw his gear in the water, i still cant stop laughing about it

He blamed you! Lol.

He blamed you! Lol.

Ya the rumor is that you was slinging lead at the other boat while he was doing the cuting

Lead is to expensive to throw now i am retired, i will just hurl a few expletives instead, hey Brutus keep us posted on the coho, hopefully there will be some big ones hitting the deck, good luck.

Will do, heading on friday for 3-4 days, just trying to figure out how to rig a dinamite stick

cut it at a 45 degree angle but be careful putting in the tow hook!

The dynamite by itself is fine. It's the blasting cap I would be concerned with. Lay that along side the trailing hook.

My sons and I are heading up Thanksgiving weekend, hoping there are still some coho around. Quick question: do you fish coho on a shorter leader than for chinook? I know you troll faster. We have never targeted coho specifically, usually just get them as by- catch when chasing chinook. Thanks for any insights.

I was out on Monday picking up the boat to tow home for the season , but decided to go out to try for a last fish of the season at 10:00 AM. Motored out to the 500 ft. depth where everyone seemed to be settled. Put down my favourite coho gear on one side, the pink gear I use for sockeye, and anchovy on the other side...down top 50 feet and 65 feet, an almost immediately a hit on the anchovy...nice fish about 12 lbs...hatchery. Rest of the trip was on bait and 65 feet with success.

I am here now

River blow up?

 

[hambone]

Coho are scattered and I think it’s fair to say fishing is slow. Out in the deep for us it was pretty inconsistent. We hit them right on the surface to 65’ on rapalas, spoons, hootchies.

I saw a guy bonking a wild fish at the estuary/beach..... pretty sure it’s closed unless it’s a hatchery. I could be wrong. There’s was the odd school moving around below the bridge.

Crabbing can be hit and miss try the deeper water

 

[brutus]

[brutus]
