I had to work on the boat all day to fix a simple little problem. When I finished my chores, I decided to look at the tide book and see what time the tide change was that evening. It worked out that I would hit the tide perfect in about an hour. So I called a buddy and we untied the Ann Marie. We made the 10 minute run to the fishing grounds and started getting the gear in the water. As soon as we started the troll, we hit a massive bait ball. (a school of herring) We started to make our turn and we both hooked up. The time of year is September and it is one of the most productive times of the year for monster coho’s. The salmon fishing this time of year is definitely at its peak. We put 8 nice coho’s in the boat in the next hour and a half. Needless to say it made for a full smoker load the next evening.
