Decided to try the Coho thing one more time. Fishing had been slowing in Shilshole area. Some anglers were having luck at West Point. Others headed North from the Launch, destination Edmonds. Several reported commercial nest in the area. Some nest a mile long.
I stayed near the green can at Meadow point. I had fished the same place and time of day the day before too. Watched a guy land two fish in less than an hour, and leave for the ramp limited out. Man, I thought "what it would be like to be that guy!". I lost 4 and landed one before calling it a day. That fish was 9.llbs on a digital scale. Caught at 85ft at 10:20 in the am. On a Green flasher and white glow squid.
On this day. I was using the Green Hot Spot Flasher and white glow squid. Downrigger down at 7:45am. Line release at 70ft, first fish in the boat is 6lbs at 8:10.
Second release comes at 8:20 at 85ft, fish comes unstuck.
Third release comes at 8:45. This fish is landed and weight is over 9lbs.
Today, I was that guy! Pretty cool. And thought I had the fish location figured out. Well, for that reason I came back with the wife on Saturday. We fished from 7:30am to 11:00 with one release at 70ft, late in the am, near 11:00. This fish was landed, weight was 5.5lb. Caught near West point after trying near the Meadow point buoy first.
So, much for figuring the fish out. They are here one day, not the next. My season is officially over.
Up next is my annual Mid West Pheasant hunt with dear ol' Dad. What a season. Could hit the rivers when I get back, that is a option worth entertaining.
