Fabulous day on the water (or should I say, couple'o'hours?!)... lovely weather, nice and calm, no fog. Had lines in the water around 7:15 AM and limited by 9:15 AM.

First fish on was a hefty one at around 12lbs and 24+ inches long. Put up a good fight! Second round was a double and that's where we got our smallest Coho of the day. But the lines were twisted in the net and it spent a little too much time out of the water for me to want to release. Still a decent fish. Topped it off with what we thought was a shaker and ended up being our second largest of the day.

All caught 60-80 feet, closer to shore than mid-channel, with Ace Hi-Fly's and Purple Haze hoochies + herring strips. And I think we were split evenly on the purple flasher and the red racer UV flasher.

Yay fish dinner!
