Well, I just had to get myself on the board officially, as far as the Shilshole coho go.
My regular fishing partner, Mr. Pip, and I have been skunked in so many different situations lately that it felt good last night for it to finally come together.
We launched about 5:00 pm, shilshole. Went with one rod, green splatter back hootchie/green flasher. Other rod was pink needlefish/flasher. The needlefish was very consistant on picking up shakers. Nothing on the hootchie at all.
Finally I switched up to green flasher with a Silver Horde ACe high fly. We had 1.5 hours of nothing....
Then BAM, right when the beautiful orange sun went behind the olympics, I had a hard take down, fish was a 10lb Chinook. Released. Then within 5 minutes it was our first coho, 4 ish pounds. kept. Then two more take downs that came unbuttoned. All were on the Ace HIgh fly. soon it was close to dark, and we needed to hit to the launch.
Pretty fast and furious once it all happened. Glad to put some confidence back in myself, lol.
