South Haven 4/1

[jdh]

Took off early from work and fished solo from 4:30 to 7:30 this afternoon.  Fished from about 1 mile north to 2 miles south of the pier heads in 15-30 fow.  Found some coho south and ended up 3/7.

Did a lot of swapping lines around but here's what hit:

2 color with stingray orange tuxedo

2 color with stinger tuxedo x 2

3oz snap weight with lure set 20 feet back in prop wash with fire tiger thin fins

Mono board back 41 ft with red squiggles thinfish x 2

Mono board back 21 ft with Nomad DTX 110 in red/purple.

Speed was 2.5-3.0.

Thanks JDH! 
 

It’s my first time out for spring coho. Is there a reason to go in the afternoon rather than first light?

I’ll be sending out the following. Blue green gold peanut fly on red dodgers, red/black this fin, and red/gold thin fin.

No reason this time.  Actually have done my best on coho later morning to mid afternoon.  Generally though just need to get on top of fish.  They're usually cooperative.

Went back today with a friend.  Fished 12:10 pm to 3:50 pm.  Fished from the piers to just south of the nuke plant.  Went 11/15 with 8 coho, 1 steelhead, 1 nice brown and 1 shaker king.  Speed 2.5-3.3. Fished between 15 and 40 fow.

Basically all lines took fish.  Spoons and thin fins/thin fish/orange dodger fly.  Lines from 3 ft down to 15 ft down.
