Fished hard on Friday to prepare for the Coho Derby but only caught two about 6-7 pounds. Fished real hard on Saturday for my two fish 7-8 pounds. Fished much harder on Sunday looking for a derby winner and flew the skunk flag for the first time this year. Tried everything in my tackle box and many different depths, just can not get a consistent bite this year. My most consistent rig has been green squid with herring strip 20 inches behind a green hotshot flasher at about 45 feet, that rig has only been skunked once this year-on Sunday. If the salt does not start putting out fish, I will head for the river. Good luck!
