Any tips on catching resident Coho?

I am very new to fishing as my post history shows. I apologize for my numerous questions. I went out to Jeff head and marked quite a few Salmon between 50-100 feet deep. Unfortunately the only thing that decided to bite was a tiny shaker. I used a purple haze and a crocodile spoon and then a green racer flasher with two green hoochies. I used no bait and no scent, and trolled in the afternoon. Is there anything else I could do?

How many hours were you out? We find that coho can really move around, so some days are much better than others for coho.

We're based off of Vancouver Island, so I can't give you specific tips to the Jeff head area, but this article might be helpful: https://riptidefish.com/resident-coho-s ... jeff-head/

I also suggest reading up on fishing guides and free e-books if you're really after salmon. Check out https://www.salmoneye.net/site/contact- ... ebook.html and http://salmonuniversity.com/regions/was ... ound-north for more general tips.

Hope this helps!

Also, review the fishing reports section of this web site. There are lots of Area 10 coho reports posted this season.
