FISHING: Good
Salmon fishing was PRETTY GOOD all week. Lots of springs ranging from the high teens up to 50+ lbs were weighed at the marinas. The biggest spring caught came from the Trap Shack on Saturday and weighed 53.2 lbs. Nice fish! Several others over 40 lbs were caught as well. Most of the action came from Beechey Head to Trap Shack. The Bedfords produced a 44 as well. The majority of the springs were caught trolling at 40 to 85 feet. Anglers trolling anchovies or 5½” to 6” herring in Glo Green/Chartreuse or Purple Haze teaser heads behind Green/Gold or O’ki Betsy flashers were catching the most fish. Other productive lures for springs this past week were Green/Glo and Blue/Silver spoons, white hootchies, and 5” Apexes. If you want to troll artificial baits, take your pick of Coyotes, Titans, Devil Tails or Gibbs Gators spoons in Glo/Green, Silver/Green or Silver/Blue and for plastics use the Moby Dick and the Purple Haze. Fin clipped Cohoes are being caught by anglers fishing the tide lines about 2½ to 3 miles out in the strait with many boats getting limits. Small anchovy, pink squirts and spoons have worked well on the coho.
