Spoons like crocs, Kohos and BC Steel in various sizes/weights, spinners like Blue Fox Vibrax and jigs like buzz bombs and spinnows. Silver/green, silver/blue, gold/orange and copper/orange are all good colour combos for coho once they reach their estuary.

Should be a good trip, some nice big coho up on the mainland side right now. All the above gear should work well. Not sure where you are headed but Seymour should have some nice fish in it. You will see them jumping in front of a few of the smaller rivers, I tie up to a kelp patch or anchor the boat and start chucking gear.
Dragging some buck tails on the surface works well too. I like red/white/blue, work well.
Good luck!

Hardest thing about fishing coho from a boat is being considerate of others fishing methods and giving shore casters enough room .are you the type to pull up and drop ancor on several boats at drift .do you troll coho in the top 20 feet of water in 30 feet ,amongst boats at drift casting .do you chase and ambush schools with your boat?spin casting is not jigging ,don't jig your lure you may end up with a snag ,single nickle plated offset hook looks like a wiggly tail and easyer to release fish without netting .Try to fit in. its a big ocean.FC

We had great luck catching Coho this season on both LiveTarget Blueback Herring swimbaits and on LiveTarget gold shiners (dive to 15'). Very realistic action...

The Tackle Shack at Pacific Playgrounds has the LiveTarget swimbaits and the diver I got from The Fishin Hole. I used the swimbaits for Chinook last year and hooked a couple of beauties. Here is a link to the LiveTarget website and the herring. Check out the videos as well. I fishing it above a dummy flasher for Chinook. They are a little pricey but you can see why when you see the detail on them. For Coho this year I caught them trolling in the prop wash on both lures and casting when I saw bait busting on the surface.
