I set up a green, a glow, a blue, a pink and a red with a few splatter backs and just rotate till I find what they like for the day. Usually green or glow. Run at about 3-4 kts and grab a pink when you turn.
cool. I have never had a pink at that speed, maybe next trip.
We always catch them on the turn so the gear is slowed quite a bit. I think they follow what ever you have out and when it slows they grab it.

[laugh] You can catch a shark with a jig under a float! :sunny:
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Hope this isn't too far off the subject, but do you know where I can find out if I can keep a wild coho in the river? I was fishing for pinks in the Duwi and was curious. There's been a lot of people talking about a nice coho season too. Thanks

The regulations pamplet, if those aren't clear enough, then call the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and ask them.
