thanks salmonbelly.....glad to see you add the caveat that you usually disagree with me....hopefully you disagree with my political alter ego who messes around alot....fishing issues are debatable too but easier to be civilized about.

I agree with Bob's assessment on Coho being way more fragile. That's why I like to troll spoons for them. Herring trolled with a double hook set up is more likely to grab a gill or two and so long coho. Being able to keep both types of Coho makes the most sense to me but would definitely shorten the charter season..
