Had a fabulous morning Saturday fishing Possession Bar. We caught 8 coho including 2 very pretty wild fish. C&R 4 fish inc the wild ones. Kept the 4 in the pic. They arent big ones but they are the perfect size for the barby.

Started in Horseshoe. Made a couple passes and caught the 2 wild ones. I was thinking it was going to be a wild fish kind of day. Headed south along the eastside of Possession in about 80-90 feet of water and caught another 6 in the next 2 hours. After a long hard winter of fishing for blackmouth this was a special treat.

Used the setups in the pic. Four fish caught on a White Lightning Coho Killer and 4 caught on a 2.8" Old Goat OG-1. Both trolled 42" behind a Red Racer flasher. 85 feet of cable. Speed is subjective depending on the tide but cables at 45 degree angle.

There were about a gillion boats out there and when we got back to the launch had to plow thru the mud. It was a fun day.

Tight lines and FISH ON!!! Randy Rauscher and Bruce Starkey.

Randy: Thanks for putting the OG1 to the test there for the Coho! (Sounds like you guys were into the fish in a serious way.) --Donn

Great job, I was on Possession also fishing with my granddaughter. We had a great time just couldn't get the big ones to the boat.

Isn't Area 9 closed for Coho? I thought the rules said release Coho, Chum and Wild Chinook due to low returns this year.

Current reg book (effective date July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018) says release "wild coho". Check the effective date on the reg book you are looking at.

Thank you, awesome report. There are a gazillion coho out there, glad to see that they came out to play. "plow thru the mud"; where did you launch?
