A 15 pound Coho is a big Coho for this time of year, i have let about 3 or 4 big sockeye over 10 pounds this year. Might it have been one of there with a portion of its fin missing for natural causes?

Picked up a 34 & an 18lb in the fog somewhere between Beachy Head and the Trap Shack this morning. Broke the hook off on another screamer aswell.
Ran out of bait, so we switched to Pinks and were off the water by 10am

lost a hog in Beecher Bay (guess 27-40lb) - wore him out as much as I could, but was with my 8 year old and in a 12' tinny...had him sideways, but with the chop, 6' + leader and trying to net myself just couldn't cut it. Had him 1/2 in, but he rolled and wrapped the cannonball...that was the end of it. Some pinks and a 8lb spring to take home at least.
Also got the usual assortment of pinks. We switched to hootchies after using up the bait on the pinks.Back home today ; my fishing partner fell and really sprained his ankle badly getting into the boat Saturday morning thats why our 5 day trip got reduced to 3 !
Worked hard out there between 2 miles East of Otter Point up to Shearingham , a Godawful pile of boats around Otter Point did not even want to get mixed up in that cluster f*** !
Tough go this time had 4 very good hits on purple haze hootchies on 40lb test at 70ft behind Abe and Al's , lost them all !
Hard to get through the pinks and coho around Muir Creek on Sunday morning must have released over 20 in 45 minutes , later on ran into a pack of small springs feeding on anything ; same go around.
Anyone run into a tin boat about 18 to 20 ft ?(Thunder Jet) who has no idea about rules of the road on the water ? ....came out of the fog at me on my Port bow and continued right across me forcing a hard tack on my part to miss a thud ! Don't people know you give way to the red light when your green light is juxtaposed to it ? apparently not !!!! heard some chatter on the radio about "flatlanders" that morning not caring where they went ........... maybe this should have gone onto the etiquette thread SORRY !
Went on out to the 400 to 450 depth and hunted for coho , found a bunch and went to spoons ( green/chrome 4in and Dymar glow black with white squiggles on it) released 6 got about a 6 lb hatchery and lostt several beside the boat.

We hit the water hard this weekend and looks like the fishing is picking up.Saturday we fished 5-4 and picked up a 37 and a 17 early then nothing else the rest of the day.Sunday 5-12 didnt get a sniff.Yesterday was on fire.Took my brother out for the first time this year 10-130.We hooked a 25 right off the bat which I somehow managed to bash off the line with the net[V]Ended up with a 26 lb whitey and a 12 before we started taking waves over the bow and had to head in.Seemed like a pretty good bite out there at Possession.

Church, Bedfords sure was good yesterday, then again so was the Head and the trap. It all happened early at the change and before the whales moved through. Got most of our Springs on Large 7+ inch herring crammed into the usual teasers, keeps the pinks away

Out monday morning, was fenominal out there, everywhere you looked from aldridge to the head, there were fish on, from first light-1pm. I hit a 10 pounder at about 6 am, right off aldridge 40 ft on the rigger, blue chrome teaser head, 8 ft leader and a betsey gold flasher. At 7:30 my rigger popped, anf nothing there so i grab the rod and start bringing it in to check the bait, and right in the prop was, Boom about a 20 pounder grabs my chovy, and starts screaming, 100 feet back, it lumps and spits the hook 
Around 8 hit another nice one at 40 ft, same set up, 19 pounds, weak fight swam into the net. Then at noon my dad hit a nice 22 pounder, this one made up for the fight on the 19. my buddy also left with his limit of 4 "Sprinks"(Huge-Pinks)[

Amazing day on the water hope the winds slows so i can get out for my daily night bites at the trap.

Flyguy, I almost always fish out of Cheanuh. Which boat are you in? I don't have vhf are you on the CB at all? (Channel 15) I just want to say hi.... don't know anyone personally on this site. I was hoping to be out next weekend (the weekend before the Bite Me derby) But last trip out on Saturday I was trolling near the head when my steering cable broke and had to come in early on the kicker. Not alot to report.... lots of shaker springs and a handful of humpies for the smoker. I'll be fishing from a 17 foot Arima Sea Ranger with a red canopy top. ... Steve.
And remember....Keep your tip up!!!
