It doesn't happen all that often, but when I get in a really goood bite, I toss the flashers. I hate the damn things. Yeah, they will put a few more fish in the boat. But . . .

Last month Bret lowe and I were in a solid coho bite and took off the flasshers. We figured we got about 3/4 as many hits and had about 300% more fun on the ones we landed. It's supposed to be fun, and an 11 inch flasher takes a lot of the fun out of a big, mean coho.

I have fished with a friend for fall coho in the sound for many years.He alwasy goes with the flasher and hoochie. I always go with naked cut plug. Over the year we are very near even and I have a hell of a lot more fun with my fish.

Just saying.
