This mornings coho trip was insane! Fishing was on fire and my clients had a great time!

If you love non-stop action and high-energy fishing, Resident Coho salmon are as good as it gets. What these local fish lack in ocean-run size, they make up for tenfold in pure attitude. The moment a resident coho hooks up, it’s an absolute circus. They don’t just pull—they explode. They are notoriously aggressive hitters, and once they realize they're on the line, they put on a spectacular show. Expect lightning-fast runs, chaotic direction changes, and wild, acrobatic leaps right out of the water. Because they travel in schools, when the bite turns on, it’s often fast and furious double-headers that keep everyone on deck moving. It is high-velocity, hands-on sportfishing that is impossible to play without a massive smile on your face. Whether you're a seasoned angler or introducing someone new to the salt, the sheer energy of a resident coho bite is some of the most fun you can have on the water.

Salmon fishing opens up June 1st

Last Saturday, I had a group of six awesome anglers on the boat for the Tengu Derby, and what a day it turned out to be! We started off a little slow, but once the bite turned on, it was game on. Before long, we were hooking into blackmouth (Chinook salmon) and the excitement never let up. By the end of the day, we put four fish in the boat and completely dominated the derby, taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place! Our top fish weighed in at an impressive 15 pounds, sealing the win and sweeping the derby pot. The clients did an incredible job, and it was one of those special days on the water that you never forget. Great fishing, great people, and memories made to last a lifetime!

We saw humpback whales and caught Huge Coho!!
