Take Six... Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 After my buddy sent me a picture of his 15 coho last night, I drug my kid out into the sleet and 20 mph east wind out of St. Joe. Set lines in 18 FOW down at Church hill and trolled back to the harbor. Picked up 5 coho and pulled lines when the rain set in. Speed was 3.0 - 3.2. Bloody nose yellow rapala and lemon ice spoon and thin fin.
GLF Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Your killing me with all of these reports John! Keep up the good work.
silver one Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 sweet deal. spring in the Joe is second to none.wtg.
salmon hunter Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 do you have to troll that fast to catch coho or is that a speed to just run the lures that you were running. Please help.
Twill23 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 by no means is that a speed you have to run... My guess would be it was pretty rough. 20mph wind is no easy time. The ideal speed, if your runnin bombers or rapalas, is around 2.2 mph. Although if its productive, like anything else in salmon fishing, dont stop!!
SUPERTRAMP Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Nice job on the Ho's the boat comes out of storage on the 30th should be in the slip in St Joe by the 2nd or 3rd. Then is Coho city and we will get after it.
Take Six... Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 I was running 2.2 - 2.5 speed over ground from the GPS. I couldn't tell you what the speed through the water. My buddy from the previous night said the action picked up when they ran 3.0 mph over ground.
Priority1 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 John, Keep hammering them. Thanks for the report.
