Much appreciated! Interesting, fishing from PT Atkinson to fisheries is not much of a tack. I usually head more towards the PA but I'm going out tomorrow evening starting at 430. I will report findings.

We did eventually troll east of fisheries a bit but nothing happening so we we turned out into deeper water and headed back towards Atkinson on the outside of the freighters and started hitting fish again.

I assume you were at 50 & 65 on the DR. Was there a water depth that you found most productive? Only going out for a few hours tomorrow but will report if anything sticks. Deck fingers want to use bait so we will be trolling chovies in a teaser

If you’re going for coho, I think you’re better off to troll hootchies on a short leader and a fast troll. We didn’t really get up onto the flats, so all fish were in 90+ feet of water.

Trolled along west van shoreline yesterday afternoon. Saw lots of fish and bait in shallows of 70 ft or less of water. But no bites whatsoever. Went over to CRC and got some hookups. But unfortunately, the Cohos were either undersized or wild ...

Southeast of Bowen two days ago, Gower Point yesterday at mid day slack and 6:30 am slack this am (what a beauty morn). Purple, green and glow flashers, Herring Aid, white/blk, white green spoons and needle fish lure. White/green and white hootchie. Also tried spoon at 25-50' no flasher.
Nada - not a salmon bite but did trade painful jabs with a rockfish which was released
leaders were about 4', also tried 5-6'
20' behind boat, 40' behind boat
2-3.5 mph troll speed but focusing more on line angle ~30... driving through bait balls and fish on sonar mostly at about 50-90'.
my boat is a 2900 Tiara with twin diesels. Is it too noisy? Am i too noisy? Do i need to make a blood or booze sacrifice?
Any ideas?

10' behind the boat from clip to flasher. 45+ degrees when targeting coho (or springs in my opinion). It will happen

X2. 30 isn't enough and the closer to the clip the tighter and faster the roll of the flasher.

I do mine 5' so when I'm bouncing bottom it's not dragging my gear. Also keeps my ball in the water when I'm grabbing my clip.

Entrance today. Not as hot as Thrasher was last week, but still good action. Got a 73cm as soon as we dropped a blue hootchie to 200' when we arrived. Then a few unders before going away from the crowd and getting a 65cm on a homeland spoon at 180' in 400' of water. Packed up shortly after and back across the pond (it was like a pond today). Quite a few nets out that we could see.

South Bowen today again. Three quick hookups of cohos at 60 feet on rigger in about 380 feet of water during slack tide. Then nothing. Headed to west van around 4:30. Lots of fish onscreen again but not a bite.

Went to Cowan fished between 50-185 on the DR used chovies mostly but put on a squirt at 88 on the DR for the last tack and got 1 hookup with that. Lost 4 coho/pinks right handed buddy's on the left handed reel, of course every salmon hooked was on that rod. 3 dogs on the day.
