Went out for 10 hours, caught 3 coho, 6 chinook and 28 pink salmon. Trolling with a purple fade flasher and a purple fade hoochie with no bait at exactly 60 feet with down riggers. A beautiful day to be out fishing. Unfortunately the coho we kept, had eggs. As we were loading up the boat, some guy caught a 7 foot sturgeon 30 feet from the launch. That big chinook I caught was 13 pounds and put up a hell of a fight. If you have any questions, ask them and I’ll Answer
