Coho Reports - Marine Areas 9 & 10

We have had everything from soup to nuts as far as coho reports this morning.  We have had folks in this AM that had easy limits of coho in short order and off the water in no time.  We have also had a number of customers that have called in that have not done well either.  You have to remember that this are migrating fish and where you found them one day does not necessarily mean that you are going to find them there the next day.  These fish can move 6 - 10 miles on a tide change just riding the tide and not even have to move a fin to do such. Deciding where to fish is at best a guess every day, sometimes the fish will be there and sometimes they are not.  Try and observe what is happening around you.  If you are not getting fish but see fish being caught a few hundred yards away from you then move to where you are seeing them caught.  This time of year 100 yards will be the difference in getting skunked or having limits. 

We are still seeing more folks that are having success than not, overall I would still have to say that the fishing has been quite good.
