The 2014 Chinook season has pretty much wrapped up. A very poor season in, with mostly small fish and nothing as was predicted by the DFO. Hopefully the 2015 season will see the fishing we are used to in the summer.Coho season is very good, though, and should become fantastic in the next month. They are, for the most part, 6-8 lbs. right now with the occasional 14- to 16-pounders. We predict that there will be lots of 20-pounders-plus by mid-October. Lots of limit catches are coming in from offshore waters in the 400- to 550-foot depth water with 40 to 90 feet on the rigger. Short leaders behind flashers armed with hoochies in blue, green, yellow or white are popular. Coho Killers in green/white and Baitrix are working very well. Herring strip is a great coho bait and a company called Black Label in now making it again. Halibut fishing is very slow right now but should improve with the ebb currents next week.In photo: Bob Culm and Wynter Langston on the dock at Port Renfrew Marina with their coho weighing in at 23, 18, 17, and 10 lbs.
