Coho reports that I have been seeing on another page usually have South Bowen as the place to get good coho action. For now, at least.

Finally got out last night for a try at South Bowen - left dock at 5:00 back at 7:30. Stuck to the RC shoreline area in about 300-350 contour. 50' down, green flasher, white glow hootchie was the ticket. 3 hatchery coho kept, 3 nice non-clipped released, and missed getting about another 10 hits to the side of the boat. Quite a spectacular night - We were the only boat on that side. Saw a bald eagle pick up a small fish maybe 30M away. Then out in front of Worlcombe we spotted a humpback that did a FULL VERTICAL BREACH - my wife and I were speechless. Only seen that before on the National Geographic channel. And to top it all off on the way back into the harbour had to change course to avoid two killer whales.
Best thing about the night - my wife said she is looking forward to going fishing again!!!!
PS - the Coho seem to be very picky about flasher. Once I dialed in what was working we switched the other side to same gear and depth but were only getting 1 hit on the copy cat side for every 5 on the other one. The only difference in the set-up was the the glow green flashers were slightly different from each other. I've noticed this before with coho at South Bowen.

They ain’t picky today. Purple, green or glow flashers they are hitting everything. Only common denominator is white hoochie and all hits are trolling west to east. Away from the pack in the lumpy stuff. Need to get through a lot of wilds to find the hatchery ones but bonked a nice 55cm and let a couple legal smaller ones go.

Gonna be heading out mid-day today to the South side of Bowen. Looks like the tide is ebbing until 14:30....any thoughts about Cowans Point area vs Roger Curtiss area?
And then there's that strange area between the hump and Roger Curtiss that I've heard about.... @Rain City

Started at Cowan yesterday had one on within minutes . Was an mis clip so let it swim as never
sure on those rules . Trolled to RC and lots of action there . Let my son drive the boat while I was switching some gear he’s 13 and drove over some prawn gear not 1 but both riggers into it . If you’re on here buddy I’m sorry and thanks again for helping out . Hope you had some good luck yesterday .

We fished Cowan to RC yesterday mid-day- hit a few shakers, my oldest boy lost a good pin popper at RC but wasn't busy enough for my liking so we decided to run up to Byng- really marked nothing up there and didn't hit anything either in about an hour and half so we decided to run back and hit RC where we were marking lots of fish then had a couple other pin pops that didn't stick and couple more shakers was all for the fish then back to what seemed like a completely empty rated trap and another one that had six nice 7 inch Dungeness crab.One good popper at 47 another at 77 then 90-

We fished RC and Cowan on Friday afternoon. Couldn’t find the coho. Just caught 1 at 40 ft on a full glow flasher with a no bananas spoon. Picked up a few bycatch chinook. Got an awesome humpback show at Cowan.
They appeared right by the boat all of a sudden as we were fighting a fish. We trolled away from them as they swam south showing their tails a few times. What an awesome place to live and fish!

Had a trap with zero bait and zero crab in it as well. Seemed quite strange as the other one had a 6-7 in It with still a bit of bait .
