Yikes.....after continuous catching on 10/4, thought taking my wife, son, and his friend out would be an easy way to get 8 fish in the boat. However, the coho left as fast as they arrived! Fishing from 7:30-2, we had one true hit and zero fish. We fished 3 poles from 60-100 feet, used bait, squids, coho killers, ace hi, etc......nada. Changed depths, colors, etc all day, nothing helped.

The only thing that made it bearable was the weather. With a bunch of boats out there, watched saw one fish caught around us the entire day...and that one got off at the boat!!! Soooooo different from the day before when you could not keep them off the lines.

Spoke with 3 friends who went out on 10/6 using the same techniques.....no fish. Said they saw 3 fish caught the entire day....hope this is not the end of the run.
