Two cohos and last picture is a steelhead. You need to learn the difference because steelhead have a size limit. If you examine the tail of both species, steelhead have spots from top to bottom. Coho have only spots on upper portion of tail and darker gums in mouth.
Nice meeting you yesterday leaving the launch. Congrats on the kings. We are two weeks ahead of last year so get offshore a little, the kings are there.
Above and beyond the alewife catch rate at depth, I was watching the graph when on the Kaho and I agree that the bottom was fuzzy with bait from the 300-400’ depth band.
I use a Weldon pad release with a dog clip. When a small fish is on, the heavy dog clip is easy to see hanging straight back. The heavy clip slides down the line easier in wind
Starting point from March is on the bottom out deep with the wintering alewives. As water warms, bait and then kings follow. Find warmest water around.
Money allocation is slow from government to businesses. I work for a health center and my CEO informed me she received a call from feds asking if we suffered any loses from Hurricane Sandy so we can be reimbursed........
Lots of factors affect hook up/ land ratio. Speed trolling, color of water, action on lure, East wind more nipping at lure, in-line boards vs using planer board system off tether line, are you over fish that were trolled over and caught already etc etc
My guess is the guy on the left owns a dog and does not live there. The guy in the middle also does not live there because they don't have their shoes on. Guy on the right with shoes owns the house.
