Title: Are the pinks gone?
Post by: seth30 on September 20, 2013, 09:02:49 AM: Went out last night with a good friend and we didnt catch a single fish. I saw one jump near the end of sunlight, when normally there jumping all around. Are they gone now or did the full moon have something to do with it? Im going again tonight, but if there gone then I will just chase some dogfish.

Post by: seth30 on September 20, 2013, 09:17:57 AM: So the pinks are done then? I am taking my Little Brother out fishing tonight, and want to put him on some fish since it will be his first time fishing the salt. I didnt see any coho's out last night either so I may plan on going after some dog fish since they are a fast action fish.

Don't know where your fishing. While your dogfishing just look for jumpers. Pinks are coming to an end.

What area are you planning on fishing? I saw some pinks jumping last night, but I'm pretty certain the bulk of the run is up the rivers now.

Seems the pinks are trailing off. Usually the coho hold off until the pinks are mostly done making it seem like the coho are a little late during pink years (but if it happens every other year is it late ???). Last year on the coast the word was the coho would be late...but they never really showed up in the rivers.

There should definitely be some coho around. We do well on ace hi-flies and white hoochies with a herring strip at 35-50'. Try rolling a cut plug in the propwash also :tup: good luck

Post by: swanny on September 20, 2013, 12:00:25 PM: Only saw a couple caught on the Puyallup last night, and saw plenty of half deads swimming around or trying to swim.

But then on the Green River when I crossed over the golf cart bridge on my commute home, I saw a huge school swimming up river. Personally on the Green I have yet to catch one or see one caught, this new office location I thought was going to be awesome for my lunch break sucks! :tung:
