On Labor day I took a friend who never caught a salmon before to Hoodsport. He landed a 15.4lb native king for his first fish, and this dude was bright chrome with fresh lice, nice fighter too. My 12 yr old son landed a nice 8lb coho 1 minutes later. We were just north of the hatchery trolling downriggers between the hatchery and the next little village of houses. Caught them both in 60ft of water trolling a coyote spoon about 4' behing a green/glo 11" hotspot. They both hit the same 4" blue and silver spoon, never got a hit on the hootchies or the cop car spoon. Once the wind came up the bite turned off, so go in the morning. I will post a pic of the king later when I get it downloaded. Fish were jumping everywhere, and big ones too. Tons of boats, a few fish caught, we were pretty lucky to finally get the 2 month skunk off the boat!
