Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2022 4:43 pm Post subject: Edmonds Area 10 Coho |
|
|
I have fished this area 3 times in the past week and the Coho are in! 2 Limits this morning by 8:30 am fishing with Peter Jamero fellow C-Brat. 3 limits this past Saturday.
Using hoochies and flashers. My go-to rigs have been the dark green Ace Hi Fly behind a red stripe green flasher. The other is a white squid with green stripes and a twinkle squirt behind a pro troll purple haze chip flasher. I tie my own leaders and use 4/0 red hooks spaced close together. I always put a piece of salted herring strip on the top hook. Leader length is 32-36" long from the top of the hoochie to the loop. Troll 2.5-3.0 mph gps speed and keep your downrigger cable at 45 degree angle. Catching them with 55-65 feet on the DR cable trolling 400-600 feet of water in the vicinity of the oil docks.
Saw Kevin on Catch 22 out there, he's done well, too. Maybe he'll chime in with a report and tips. _________________ Patrick and Kim Walker

Haha, yep we have had a hot start to coho as well. Limits in very short order. Good to see you guys out there. Looking at my records it looks like 2018 was a ridiculously good year and so maybe its the same 4 year run coming back. Honestly I thing any gear will get them. The one thing we do is pound a spot where we hit a fish, mark it and go back. Lots of guys just troll by. The fish are not alone. They are in tight pods. We also run our gear at the same depth. Where there is one there is more. We hit 5 doubles in two days. Wherever you mark fish, set the gear 10 feet below that. We will be out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Tight lines! _________________ Kevin Richards - Catch 22 |

WZ: Chinook retention ended 8/31 in Area 10. I think people targeting them were doing well up until the end.
Dwight, is "coconuts" code for coho? Maybe you could give us a Winter Harbor report on a separate thread. |

Thanks for taking me out Patrick. It was a blast to limit out so quickly! And thanks a lot for giving me the itch to start looking at getting a CD22 again. I didn't realize I would miss having a boat so much lol.

Went Friday with a friend on his boat. Boy, it was rough with a west wind against the outgoing tide, we were rolling!
Fishing 55-75 and got our 4 coho!
My buddy forgot the landing net, no worries, I told him, "We'll just act like commercial salmon trollers. They don't use a net, just get the salmon swimming toward the boat, reach down, grab the leader and swing the fish in."
We went 4/4, he was amazed.
I'm heading to Westport on my boat this next week for 3 days of fishing. Forecast looks great and we can harvest any coho now until 14,000 are harvested. Can't wait! |

Glad you folks are doing well for Coho in the great state of Washington. Coho fishing has been good on the west coast of Oregon this year but the Chinook catch rates are very low. Not sure why but maybe they are just running late. Latest report from the ODFW (Newport 1.35 salmon per angler (669 coho and 2 Chinook sampled). _________________ Gary F

I will the say, the fish we got last week were on the smaller side. 3-4lbs. Are people doing well in the 6lb+ range? |
