Out yesterday (Monday) off F.C. from about 1:30 pm to 8:20pm.
Low slack was 5:30pm. Trolled Humps, "out front", White Door and inshore 200ft contour.
Two hatchery Coho keepers. But caught quite a few others undersize or wild, released.
Caught many an undersize Chinook, released.
At 6:40 pm got a 10 lb Chinook. ( T-rex needle hoochy,shortened about an inch,38" behind green/glow flasher, 160ft in 200 ft of water.)
Also jigged earlier on. Dogfish, flounders, P-Cod.
Pockets of bigger fish here and there at various depths. Many small fish everywhere at 30 to 40ft depth.
Generally fished anywhere from 80ft to 220ft lure depth. Got hits at all depths but 140 to 180 lure depth was best . 200 to 230ft water depth.
Got hits on:-
Small pink hoochy 38 "behind Purple Haze flasher.
Home made hoochy combo that looked identical to a "herring aide" spoon. Put it together months ago and then read about the spoon so thought I'd try the hoochy. Worked quite well for actual hits behind a Purple Haze flasher.
Used another home-made hoochy combo that is basically a 4" u/v Turd body with glow inside. Used that 38" behind a Pink Haze flasher and got lots of hits on it.
Also used a 5" 602 Tubby Tomic plug. That worked. As did a 5 inch plug that was :- black top, silver sides, glow bottom, red snout. 4 mph speed.
Got absolutely nada on the green splatterback hoochy.
Always go back to the good old shortened T-rex needlefish hoochy at some point. Behind a green/glow or Super Gold betsy flasher. (There a couple of versions of the T-Rex hoochy..the Yozuri one that you get from PNT is the better one.....not the dark green splattered one that is found in other stores).
There are lots of fish at F.C. but so many of them are baby undersize.
