Stayed at the Coho Resort with my bro-in-law Tom and fished for silvers Saturday and Sunday. Probably the toughest trip we have ever had to Sekiu in terms of success.

We fished through the morning Saturday catching lots of silver shakers but nothing else. Tried spoons, grand slam bucktails and squid/strip. Between 12 and 1 I got two 4 pounders east of Slip Pt, one on a purple haze kingfisher behind Mac flash-lite blades, the other on a mini hotspot and a grand slam bucktail. Most years they would have went back, but not this year. Between 4 and 5pm we were out a ways off of Sekiu Pt and Tom got a pair of 11 pounders just about as quick as we could land the first and reset. He was using the squid/strip setup. 3 of the 4 fish were wild. If was a foggy day and we spent most of the day with someone at the helm watching the compass and GPS. When Tom got the second hit, I also had a release that didn't hook up, so there were more fish out there. My fish were both at 55 feet and Tom's at 75, though we tried lots of depths throughout the day.

Sunday the water and weather were much nicer in the morning, but we couldn't get a bite. Not even as many shakers. We started near where we got the last two and tried a variety of places. Nothing doing. I had one take-down that didn't hook up. About lunch it got pretty windy and sloppy, so we headed in and headed home. We did have a pod of 3-4 porpoises come play around our boat for 15 minutes, which was very cool. They would swim at the boat from the side then change course when they hit our wake, jumping usually very close to the boat.
