Went out of Schooner this morning around 10 am for a quick trip. I barely had the gear down when I got a double header. These are always fun when fishing alone 
I grabbed the rod that was pulling the hardest and got about a 12 lb white spring. By the time I had the fish landed and stored the other rod had quit pulling. Ones better than nothing I thought and started to reel in the second line, just about got it to the boat when a good sized coho grabbed it and did a couple of good runs. I had to release the coho as it was a wild but it was probably around the 5 to 6 lb mark. Nice to see the coho starting to show again. I got the spring on a purple haze hootche at 160 ft and the coho was on a copcar spoon. I had a couple more undersized springs on before I had to leave at noon.

got out yesterday afternoon for a few hours, got a nice spring in the mid twenties out just off entrance in an area you couldn't have fished a couple years ago due to seals, I've been noticing their population is down in the entrance area, thinking those transient orcas may have hammered them back. anyways nice red spring, took a few runs, my nicest fish of the year so far. then pulled the gear to target ling. and after some fishing around found a great ling hole, so that's good for my daughter who tells me to catch a ling cod for her every time I go out. I had also trolled off the fingers for a couple hours on the ebb then moved, got the spring on the slack.
