Got off work, on my birthday, today and headed down to mukilteo beach. Fished with a float and herring... First cast, I started reeling in slowly to recast... Because it wasn't that far out there. About 20' away from shore it hit my bait, I kept reeling and wham. Fish on!!! Being that it was my first coho caught, can't judge the size, but seems kinda small. Maybe 5 #'s... Only fished for about 30 mins.... I have been hitting up the rivers with no luck the last few weeks, feels good to get my first, especially on my birthday!!!
