Possession Coho 2014

I thought last year's dialog of what was working, when, where and how was helpful and a great tool to get into more fish. Figured might as well getting it going again this year. No pinks, but the silvers are shaping up for another great run.

After a week and a half in Texas, today was the beginning of coho for me.

Rumor had it the morning is when all the fish were caught but jet lag was going to keep me from the AM bite. Hit the water about 11 and dropped in halfway to Shipwreck. First fish came on the southbound troll, 75ft of cable out in 300ft or so of water. Second fish came also on a southbound troll at Picnic Point at the same numbers. Both fish caught on a Gibbs UV Red Racer flasher, glow squid/UV Ace insert and a salted herring strip, 36in back. After a couple hours without any action, changed to a purple haze flasher and frog something or another spoon by Silver Horde. Third fish came on that on a westbound troll from Picnic Point to Possession Point with 77ft of cable out.

3 fish wasn't a bad day for a late start. That and the weather was fantastic.

Saw Tom out there with a good sized afternoon fish in the box as well.

Anybody else had success?

We did three rods on the morning bite. Hooked six and landed 4, plus a large king we had to release. All fish came on hot spot flashers with hoochies 24-36" behind. 90-100 feet of water. Trolling fast and making turns non stop. Caught all fish betwen shilshole and richmond beach.[/img]

We did three rods on the evening tonight. Hooked up doubles and lost both at the boat. Lost one more before we finally landed one. Not our best night but we are cookin fish for dinner. Same tackle and spot as previous post.

Nice work Kevin. Reports I heard from Shipwreck were fairly bleak. Hoping to make a run a few evening sessions this week. Thanks for the report!

Nice fish from Sunday afternoon. Monday morning, up at 4 to get lines wet at 545, was a bust . I only saw one fished boated. Oh and we had 8 large crab on Sunday too.

Good reports and NICE fish Tom!

Hope to get out there Saturday afternoon since I am selling my boat and getting it checked and then do the deal Sunday morning. Oh well, see if I can do anything on the afternoon high around the Shipwreck on Saturday 9/6.

Did you stock up on the releases? Getting ready to head to the coast for the next go round with my new releases.

Wow Tom, that fish is a beauty. How big was it? It looks huge for a Coho, at least 18lbs or are you short-arming that baby? Wink

Hopefully I'll get mine this weekend. I'll be out both days with family.

Fishing was red hot for the AM bite yesterday morning but abruptly died off. We had 5 fish hooked by 7:30 AM although only 2 made it into the net.

Not too heart broke about that since I've limited myself to keeping only one fish per trip (unless another is hooked bad and won't survive). Freezer is quite full.

Saturday was much slower. No action until about 9AM. Hooked a double with both making it in the net.

Had to be back at the dock by 10:30 both days.

Fished Shipwreck on Saturday and caught both fish at 75' of cable. Sunday we picked a line from the Scatchet Head can to the Yellow can in the shipping lane. All the fish came within a few hundred yards of each other at 65' of cable.

I fished sunday with my son and a freind and only managed one fish to the boat. We had one short strike and one other miss that did not release from the down rigger but did flatten my coho killer and left teeth marks. Very weird. Going to day after 4.

We'll be out at the shipwreck and browns bay tomorrow morning hoping to get some in the boat. We opted to go up the snohomish river from the Everett marina yesterday morning after hearing a report of fish being in there. I had a nice one hooked within a few minutes of trolling our plugs. After a short lull, I had another avereage sized silver in the boat. They were rolling all over and are definately already in the river.

where in the river did you fish and at what point in the tide.
