@@smalldog221 from the 250 to 270’ line on this day. Maybe 12 miles out? We should have been out in 320-340 at about 15 miles offshore… that’s where the big chinook were at that day. We found lots and lots of coho and sublegal chinook on this trip. I guessed incorrectly this time. 😃
Nice going you Googly-Eyes, two hens and two bucks three hatchery one wild it looked like, that took no time for those Coho. Now was that in Oct ? Do you find that white squid the oil slick is the best now? Keep the good videos coming.🎣
@@dansSawfish5604 hi Dan… the white squid does work really well… the red racer and chartreuse glow splatterback have been working great too. Yes, this was filmed on Oct 5th.
@@shawnlepine5788 there’s no real answer to that question. It just depends on where we are fishing and what the electronics are telling us. If I don’t have definitive info on the sonar, I usually start up high in the water column early in the morning and then start hunting by dropping down until we find them. Chinook are usually deeper, but not always… for chinook it really depends on bait! For coho, we hit a lot of fish this year from 60-90’ on the wire, but sometimes higher like 40’ on the wire, and as deep as 120’ on the wire. Sorry to be all over the place with this answer! 😃
I’ve really enjoyed your videos and am looking forward to seeing more next season. (Maybe BM?) Congrats on your success this season and your excellent videos.
Thank you! I do as well! Happy fishing! Would love to see a video of your boat setup! Maybe discussion of making you decision between the Sea Runner and Ocean Pro? Helps those of us looking make better decisions!
@@huckleberryadventures2711 just depends on what you want… the 2024 Sea Runner 210 has a tuna door! So we missed out on that by a year. If I had to do it over again I’d go with an Ocean Pro 240, just because we’ve fallen in love with going offshore into the ocean. For the Sound and fisheries like the Columbia, our boat is perfect.
@@TheBoggs576 that’s the only thing I don’t discuss… launch location. 😃 All I will say is it is South of Jeff Head. Thanks for watching, we’re having fun making the videos!
Awesome video! Love the mix of still shots too. We have learned a lot from you two in just a couple of months. We have enjoyed the camaraderie, and sharing a passion for fishing with you both. Oh, and limits every time! It was a gorgeous October day on the water and we even saw Orcas! Time for razor clams? So many choices!
You guys have it dialed! You make a great team! My wife and I started fishing up there this year with our 4 year old daughter. Hope to see you guys on the water next season !
Man, y'all got me wishing I hadn't put the boat up so early 😂 Had a couple of pretty slow days at Jeff Head about a week and a half ago and decided to call it for the season...I didn't realize they hang around in the salt this long!
I am a fellow fisherman who really enjoyed watching you two fish together, it really showed me a lot and I have been doing this for most of my life. You two are awesome 😂
Great video! Good recap at the end. What speed do you usually like trolling for coho? Or do you just try keeping a 45 degree angle on the line? Im not sure if it's better to prioritize angle or speed. I use a 15lb ball w 200lb scotty braid, and still have a decent amount of blow back.
@@hawksnest1819 hey! Speed for Coho is right in there from 3.2 - 4mph (SOG on the Garmin) depending on current. We absolutely prioritize angle on the downrigger line though, and want that angle at 45° if not a little more for Coho. For Chinook we slow down a bit and get that angle right at 45° at around 2 - 2.7mph. We run the 16lb Cannon ball with the 200lb Scotty braid also.
@GooglyEyeFishing ok awesome. Thanks for the reply! Btw, do you recommend a particular scent to add? I've been using salt cured herring strips and sometimes will spread a little Atlas Mike's Herring Lunker Lotion on my flasher, but the lotion comes off pretty quick. From the video, looks like you use super gel ... do you also use herring strips with that? Also which super gel do u recommend? I heard scent can discolor the hoochies, so I only add to my flasher. Thanks for your help!
@@hawksnest1819 I run herring strips, and only start adding scent when the bite slows and I get desperate. 🤣 I only used Herring scent this year, but have used others like Sardine Spit, Bloodier Tuna, and Garlic Bloody Tuna in the past that have worked. The herring strips are usually enough, and yes, the scents totally discolor your hoochies… if I add scent I only add it to the bottom oval bead above the bottom hook on the leader.
@GooglyEyeFishing thanks for the tips! I'll try them out next year. Should be fun with the pinks running 🏃♀️ 🐟. next year. Good luck and be safe on your next adventures!
Nothing like some of the 10+ I’ve seen some people share. Biggest one last month/ this season for me was 7lb 14oz. Today’s biggest was 6lb 12oz. I’m still really happy as it’s my first year trolling for them and I was able to get a good amount saved for the year. Your videos definitely gave me confidence
@@youraveragefishkeeper last year we got a 14+ @ Point Robinson! We got a few 10+ Coho out of Westport this summer… we’ve been getting a few 8-9lbrs here and there in the Sound… now’s the time for the bruisers though… the quantity may slow down but the chance at a big B run fish increases… all in all this has been a great salmon season! Thanks for the kind words about the videos… there’s really no secrets, and we can’t catch them all so it’s fun to be able to share what we can with others! 😃👍
@@dawnirene72 I got them up on Vancouver Island, BC at Pacific Net & Twine. They are awesome. Stainless metal cleat, thick cord, stainless metal ring. I would go through several Scotty retrievers per season because the plastic cleats wear out and the yellow rings break, etc. These retrievers are awesome!
when does the coho season in the sound end for you? We have similar sized boats, so I was wondering what to do now that the coho bite has cooled off quite a bit in 11.
@@machewbacca there should be Coho out there for the next couple of weeks… there might not be as many fish, but the bigger “B” runners will be out there!
@@ChrisEngrave in the morning was 60-90 on the wire, then the bite died. We waited it out to the afternoon tide change when the sun was high in the sky, and found the fish and bait at 100-125’, so I was 120-140’ on the wire then. We were fishing in 130-170’ of water.
