Just lost a pin popper, was jerking like a coho

Jim’s off today so let me ask - “how deep?”

To boring of a depth to mention that is not in every report 50-60 feet

Fished Ambleside today. Got there fifteen minutes early. Too dark to fish. Nothing at all until 430pm I switched to a spoon and picked up a decent coho. Then got a big spring stolen by a seal right by the green light. Packed up at 600pm. My guess is tomorrow will be better. I'm going to try and sneak out on Sunday afternoon.

The coho was filled with prawns. Which I'm not sure if I've ever seen that

Well that explains everything!

Late report. Fished the cap yesterday between work for couple of hours in the morning and couple of hours late in the day. Didn’t touch or see anything. Should be better today for those going out.

Tried my luck at the Bell to NA yesterday and managed to bring in a 6" monster, not much bigger than the anchovy that I was using as bait. Was not a match for my fishing skills. Didn't need a net nor gaff and did manage to safely return it to the sea. I do believe that his misadventure may have taken a few pounds off his life so may only return to hole in the wall in about 3 years just shy of a Tyee.

I also returned a wild coho that smacked a slightly bigger anchovy.

Will be out in a few hours to see if I can get a 24.5" or better.

20lb Buck at the cap around 5pm yesterday. Off the yellow buoy about 80ft.

Man I started to give up on the cap after that boot I caught two weeks ago but every fish I've seen on here since has been mint.

Put up a helluva fight too. Apologies to all around me (22ft prokat), had two newbie pals on board who needed lots of coaching!

@ SH.. just landed a huge hatchery Coho (no scale on boat). Took us ~10mins to reel in. Rigger at 80ft on 350 water Small herring. One big shaker And 2 undersized chinooks that were safely released back. Got here at 11.

Anybody going to S H tomorrow? The wind forecast shows strong wind!

 

[Normfish2]

The coho may be a chum , just my opinion if it's huge .

 

[Aces]

Think he wrote it was clipped?

That's the plan. If too lumpy might pivot to west van. I was hoping to target chum!

Good luck

 

[Cinco Sirenas]

Good luck

Will report. High hopes but low expectations if we are stuck in west van. I have never been skunked more often than when I fish the cap/west van. We will be rolling bait low and chum setup up top
