Met up with fishndude and gringo pescador at 4:30 AM and headed out to Snohomish. Arrived around 5:30 and got in the water immediately. Still pitch dark with the sun barely cracking above the horizon!

Anyway, more people started rolling in but there was not a single sign of fish for a good couple hours.

Caught my first coho after a few hours jigging. Then...Gringo Pescador went on to catch 3 pink's one after another within a 30 minute span.

A school of them must've went by because I hooked into another one but got away. Caught my last pink alittle after that and we called it a day.

Great day on the river, fished alongside some people but not "combative."

well, i guess we dont know if it was a coho or not. they all had spots on their tails but one in praticular had larger scales and looked quite a bit different. I may hav ebeen wrong but we just said its a coho and moved on and didn't think about it but now that I look back, it was probably just a pink.

and to be honest, wish I could tell you but we carpooled and I was half asleep on the way there so I have no idea where we were even fishing at.

Howard, you def missed out. but its ok, the full salmon run isnt for another week or two apparently...bunch of dudes at the river were having a discussion about it, but who knows. but man...these things take off like crazy. they put up quite a bit of a fight. running left and right and pulling drag...def alot of fun.
