Set rods around 1pm and finished at 8 pm. Started north of the reef to fish were I had marked bait last week but it was gone. Turned the boat west and headed offshore had some fish on the graph in 75 to 95 fow but couldn’t get them to hit after several passes over them. Kept heading west, after about 4 or 5 hours of washing lures we hit 120fow and started having some nice bait stacks on the screen. We started catching coho almost right away. We trolled a strip of water from 120 fow to 135 fow east to west till we finished. Ended up with 7 coho, 2 Kings and 1 nice steelhead. The coho & steelhead all came on D/F on various presentations from a 5 color up in the water column. 1 king hit a spoon 42’ down on the rigger and 1 hit a F/F on a rigger 74’ down. It was a fire drill once we found fish with multiple doubles.

Thanks for the report a 330 heading out of the harbor is probably the quickest way to 120 fow which is around 6 to 7 miles out from the harbor by my estimate.
