Ocean Coho Report

[Tinman]

Coho fishing was good off of Cape Lookout yesterday. I caught 7 by myself in several hours, but 5 were natives that had to go back. Trolled anchovies with a flasher worked best early in the morning, then hoochies (without a chunk of bait) worked fine. The fish were close the surface, and small groups were popping up and herding baitfish. I even caught one one 6# line on a hoochie (no flasher, no sinker) trolled right on the surface. What a blast.........lots of jumps and long runs.

The fish ranged from 4 to 12 pounds, seas were flat, light wind...a perfect day.

One of my favorite memories from lasts years great season.. was just as I had netted a nice chinook,I look over at one of the rods I had reeled up and just placed in the rod holder, with the leader and hoochie bouncing off of the surface and a big fat hatchery coho cam eup and grabbed it right off the surface. :smile:
Lots of fun..

Corrirod-
I was out there too, but we struggled. Lots of nates, only 1 hatchery fish.

What kind of rig do you have for tuna? I would be looking for a running mate out of Garibaldi. Send me your email.

I heard the bite was a lot better today(Monday), of course we've all heard that before! A buddy of mine limited the boat with 3 people and was back to the dock by 10:00am. 5 coho, 1 Nook.
I have a 20' Bayliner Trophy, downriggers, radar on top, and I had an anchor buoy and blue rope box on the front. Threemuch, what were you piloting?

Fished out of Garibaldi in front of Twin Rocks yesterday. Great morning bite, lots of "fly-by's", "Dine & Dash's", (a.k.a. takedowns). Lots of natives, landed 4 hatchery coho, and 1 Nook. Got 32 crabs! :grin:
Headed out there again tomorrow unless someone needs a second boat to go with them tuna hunting!
