Was out day before yest. From the reports from the other guides, and what we saw, the larger mature springs have gotten mighty thin on the ground. Still a few about, but you really have to hunt for them!
Halibut were and are still there in great numbers! We limited the boat in less than an hour, top weights running in at 45 and high thirties, with the balance from there down to mid-twenties.
The REAL draw is the coho! man, they are THICK and HUGE!
So many about that we didn't bother with dummy flashers, simply large spoons (Hammered 1/2 brass 1/2 chrome 7" Wonders were awesome!) drug at 35 and 45 feet, with another of the same as a surface rod. Hooked to many to count, and landed something over 50 in the time we put in on them. The surface rod was as fast or faster than anything else, and the battles were downright epic! Largest we brought home was just over 22 pounds, and quite the handful of wildies released that were even larger! AWESOME! [^]
Still a LOT of FUN to be had out there Folks! If you like wearing a PermaGrin, now is the time to get out there if you can!
