Just got back from a week trip. Hit or miss is all I can say. Great day, bad day, skunk, repeat. Bit would come on at the most random times of day. Really had to hunt to figure it out this trip, maybe it's algae bloom, maybe it's early - idk. We fished Cree, Meares, Swale, Kirby, Wall, Pill. Our best days were at Pill on the afternoon tide change and Cree in the morning. Our best depths were 95 and 71, not the usual higher depths. All fish we caught on small 2" spoons and green flashers, occasionally purple flashers. I tried the white hoochie and a variety of other things and couldn't get anything going. There was one day at Meares where it all was happening at 125 feet of wire, after the advice to go deep. And most recently 250 feet of water and 70 down (totally random). I fished like I'd never fished before, (I hate fishing in no man's land)! but we got it done. Never saw a coho. Biggest fish were 25, 23. Lots of smalls. Fish were all loaded with tiny 2" bait, never saw anything else. Good luck everybody.
Anybody been offshore yet for salmon?
