Possession Salmon

We had an amazing weekend of October Coho.

Sat 10-5
My dad and I launched at Everett, putted out, dropped the crab pots and cruised to the ferry lane. We dropped gear and trolled south. Around halfway to Shipwreck we hooked into a double landing both fish. After getting them in the boat we motored north for another pass and hooked into another double. We had out limit in an hour. Wanting the crab pots to soak longer we released one fish and kept fishing. We hooked into 3 more that did not make it to the boat. We called it good around 11. We found one dungy in the first pot but the second pot was nowhere to be seen. A victim of the tides which is sucky. it was my good pot and quite heavy...

Sun 10-6
Same gig. I put the boat in a guest slip overnight. My younger brother and I hit the water around 6:30 and motored out, dropped the pots and headed to the ferry lane. We dropped gear just after 7 and headed south with a heading toward my waypoints from the 2 doubles on Saturday. Right as we got towards it, fish on. Nice 10+lb silver. Before we could get it out of the net, fish on rod #2. Another 10+lb silver. We set waypoints when the fish hit. With the gear out of the water we ran a 1/4 mile north and headed back to the waypoint. Just as we got there, fish on! Another 10+lb silver. Pulled the gear and made another pass. Yep, fish on! Another 10+lb silver. 9AM and we were done with over 40lbs of coho in the boat. A friend of mine was fishing south with little luck so I sent him the lat and long of the middle waypoint. He cruised up and boated a 13+lb and a 10+lb at the mark. When I got home around noon I called Tom and sent him the coordinates, he landed a 10 pounder as well. Thats 11 solid fish caught within a couple hundred yards of each other. Odd to see them holding in a spot like that.

Helluva run with great weekend weather!

Wow, nice job!

Trolled past Troy on Sat am with 2 in the box outselves, hit up toward Mukilteo just south of the ferry at 45-60'. Released one off a double, that small. Trolled south to shipwreck area and talked to a gal fishing solo who caught one at 120', so I tried it out and caught another one, but kind of small so it went back. Trolled clear over to the green can on east possession, but not a hit. Picked and ran back to shipwreck and worked south. Was picking up gear to go north to Mukilteo and got hit on the way up on dr, probably 60' or so and kept a nice 8 lb fish. Tried different gear and hoochies and depths to explore. No big fish like Troy, guess I need to get those coordinates! Fun fishing for sure.
 
We fished the shipwreck Monday 10/14 after spending a week fishing in Sekiu. We started late due to the fog, but had our gear in the water about 9am. We had a smaller fish in the box by 9:15.

Probably a half hour later we had a double take down, my fished jumped out of the water and it was great, until the seals got the double take down on us. They took off with both our fish, and broke the lines, losing two flashers and two spoons. :amgry

We had another fish on about noon, but was lost due to my buddy not keeping tension on the line next to the boat. Oh well.

That's my story and Im stickin to it

We fished in about 500-600' of water just off of shipwreck on Sat. last week. We limited on 4 coho (2 rods) by 10AM. We got one around 8AM, one around 9AM and finished with a double around 9:50AM. Depths between 50 and 100', green flashers, glow green hootchies.
 
I'll be out tomorrow AM in a friend's Armstrong 28.5' catamaran. We'll depart Everett a little after 7AM and will probably be around shipwreck. The boat's name is Plan B.
 
Sat 10/19

SLOOOOW start yesterday. Although it may have been better had we stuck to the game plan. Made one pass through an area that has produced good numbers this season without a strike. Rather than making another, we chased marks that were all over the 120-150 foot range but no luck after 3-4 hours. Decided to make one more pass at the original plan and ended up 1 for 4 in 45 minutes. Shoulda stuck to the plan from the get go! Ran out of time so pulled the pots with 6 nice crab.

Fish checker had 61 boats and 27 fish and horrible crabbing reports when we came in around 2pm. Even though I was disappointed with the results, it appears we were some of the lucky ones.

For us, 60 & 80 feet were good with Gibb's UV Red Racer flasher on a green glow spatter back with UV insert and a Hot Spot Green Glow flasher on a double glow with UV insert.

Fog was thick. No vis until after 9pm.

Saw a couple other C-Dory's out there but couldn't make out who with the fog...any Brats out there yesterday?
 
I was out in my buddy's Armstrong cat yesterday. We fished from 8AM until a little before 1PM with nothing but a couple of shakers to show for it.
