Title: Sekiu Coho?
Post by: Phantom Gobbler on September 13, 2010, 10:33:42 PM: Still really slow at Sekiu this past weekend. A lot of disgruntled fishermen. In three days the two us caught only 4 coho with only one hatchery fish. Lot's of outgoing blackmouth to 12 lbs. No bait. Lots of silvers still being reported offshore at bluedot. But most of these fish will move south. :dunno: No one can forecast if the fishing will pick up soon.

I am fishing the sound this weekend so I hope they swim down fast.

Last year was really bad, people mistaking blackmouth for pinks...

Post by: fishcrazy on September 20, 2010, 09:22:15 AM: The checkers count them as kings. That is why fishing got closed sooner last year for kings. To many undersize got killed so the king season got closed sooner. It all comes out in the wash and a few screw things up for the rest.

Would be cool to see more tickets handed out at the dock and maybe a few boats taken.
