I would just trailer your boat a little bit more west to Neah Bay. I've always had really good luck in August out there with the coho fly trolled right on the surface at the tail of the prop wash.

Make sure you use sticky sharp vision hooks. I always use about a 8 FT leader of any pound test you want. I always go light out there, maybe 8lb test. Try a noodle rod or a fly rod, its a blast. Then once your leader is tied up slide a coho fly on that Kent suggest to you at TEDS sportings goods off of highway 99 by the lynnwood mall.

Then once your ready to go loosen your drap up and get your boat going so that your moving at a good clip. 8-10mph. Almost up on a plane for most boats. Next let some line out till you reach the tail of your prop wash. Then look on the surface for fish chasing bait. Go to where the fish are and get ready for some serious action!

Last time we went we brought 26 Coho to the boat, and hooked alot more! We were only out for 3 hours. Brings a smile to my face and makes my arms sore just thinking about it!

I'll be headed out to Neah Bay this weekend, so keep an eye peeled for a 19ft alumaweld with two guys nailing cohos on it.


Why use bait when you can't even get a flasher/hoochie combo past 15 ft on your rigger without getting a coho on out there on the west side of the straight this time of year.
