so much for the big 2019 hatchery boost! Was it just a blip?

Haha... our again this morning in-between kwb and hwy 1. Much better today. 4/6. Left with 1 spring and 1 coho...bite would come in spurts which is to be expected.

Good to hear!

Was pretty good yesterday, saw some guy limit out on hatchery coho. I landed a hatchery Coho and a spring
And I ran into a red spring !! but couldnt land it - broke my leader when i thought it was ready to be landed on to the shore.

How do you know it's a red spring if you didn't land it ?

Red springs fight harder and are known to break leaders.

Quite a different year for the people I know and myself. It's been a non-clipped Coho kind of a season. Every outing is easily 90% wild Coho. Some days it's been 100% wilds. Last season I had limits of hatchery Coho days in a row. This year ? Barely any hatchery fish. I've seen boats all around me at the mouth put fish back and say the same thing. LOTS of non-clipped fish. I've tapped oit early this year.

Been out 3 times only a couple of hrs each time in the afternoon and have hooked 7 cohos. Landed 4. 3 hatcheries and 1 wild so far. Not bad.

the canal was the busiest i have ever seen it today. was fishing around train bridge and all we were hitting were wild. after seeing the canal i know why.

I showed up at the canal at 11am and it wasn't as busy as I have seen in past Thanksgiving weekend actually. I only had just over an hour to fish today. Coho salmon were plentiful, on everyone else's lines! I ended up missing one, hooking two, both lost, and one of them was a rather big specimen. Great to see so many people out enjoying the day, and all fishing properly! It's quite amazing to see that many people hooking up below me and still able to get bites, just a constant stream of fish going through right now with the big morning incoming tide at the moment.

Fair amount of rain is expected tonight, so tomorrow could be very different. Enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend!

[bigblockfox]

for sure, alot of people were also using landing nets which was nice to see. did see one wild ho that couldn't be revived but it happens.
