Thanks guys. On advice of local bait shop had switched over to a single 3/0 trailing treble and just weren't getting the fish to stick last time out. Going to switch back to two single hooks.After a few different methods I’m sold on a 4/0 single in the body of the bait and a 2/0 single trailing hook. Wild coho been hammering the bait this year, easier to release. Although 80% of the time they hook up on the trailing hook.
Lots of guys run tandem trebles but won't admit it.Thanks guys. On advice of local bait shop had switched over to a single 3.0 trailing treble and just weren't getting the fish to stick last time out. Going to switch back to two single hooks.
For sure, we were in fall/winter clothing yesterday. Plus rain gear later for the ride home in the wet.More of the same report from me at Sandheads. A bit Windy and lumpy. A smidge colder than the last few weeks. Have not seen much happening on the other many many boats. But on a More positive note the green slimy weed on the swivels is keeping it interesting / eventful. It makes a nice change !
Will have to guts it out for the afternoon flood I guess.
I even saw an island guide on tv showing that setup on hoochiesLots of guys run tandem trebles but won't admit it.
After that orca party yesterday and the rain last night, it’s not a big surprise. Bite may still turn on around the slack tide tho.3 hrs in at SH. One juvenile on a spoon. Otherwise had 3 hits on bait but nothing has stuck.
Seems to be mostly coho being caught around us. Or very small springs am getting bashed.

Cooper did a video on catch and releasing coho, it was on here for a while, he was using trebles and some of the releases were a bit brutal, all his followers were raving about his great video, couldn't believe it so I eventually chimed in with a bit of rant on him using trebles yada yada, that thread wound down pretty damned quick, honestly it was disgusting to see imho.I even saw an island guide on tv showing that setup on hoochies
