any one know thanks giving long weekend is good time to go brown's bay for coho or chum? thanks.
Will be late for Coho... but if it is a good chum year it should be getting going by then. I fished a beautiful flood at Greensea on Sunday and never saw a rod move among the 10 or so boats there (with the exception of a pink we caught that looked like it had come back out of the river)... which suggest Coho is winding down.

Wouldn't use last years test set data. We fished over 20 hours on the long weekend last year and never had a sniff. 2020 number were ok. This years number just went 20% over the test data from that year. So maybe a bit late with the weather; it could be a good year. We will be up there at least the monday this weekend.

was out today plumper 8- 9:30am lost 2 . one a screamer probably a coho ran ha;f way back to browns bay before dropping off.
About 3 other boats only. Moved to deep water bay max 6 boats showed up on the flood. Fewest boast I've ever seen there on a long weekend. Saw a couple caught we lost 3 more hits before finally bagging one between 8-9lbs stayed in 50- 75' fishing depth the whole time all hits were 50, 70'. pink blue hootchie in 2-3/4 and 4/1/2 were the best for sure. Just as the fish moved in and the bite came on the wind came up and it turned into the worst conditions I've ever seen in 30 years. water coming over the bow in 4 to 5' seas drove everyone including us off the water.
Thanks for the info. Thank goodness wind and tide were in the same direction for you going home!
