Coho/Silver catching lures

The following picture is a small inventory of "stuff" that is used by me to "chase and try to catch" Silvers in Region 6....every lure, spoon, twitching jig, spoons and spinners has caught fish, at one time or the other for me........newest weapons are the twitching jigs, while I missed the 2009 September - late November fishery, I did get to fish the December 2009, Silvers/Coho in Region 6........if i told you how many fish I caught during that "cold spell" and before the river blew out, you'd think I was "b.s'ing". Pink plugs got a few but the twitching jigs got "lot's"

Hope this helps some of you with a general picture of things that will work......now just have to "get the rivers open" and the rains not be "gully washers".

Good luck...stay safe....and hope the fish god's are happy!!!!

Sorry the picture, wasn't bigger but???????

Thanks, great post.

That blue pirate kwikie works on the Sky for some big un's , but don't tell anyone cuz it's a secret...

That stuff looks familiar. I pretty much have the exact same arsenal laying on my fishing counter in my garage right now. I can't wait until Thursday even though I expect it to start out slow.

So lets take this thread to the next level. Lets see how many different pictures of coho with different lures in their mouths people can post.

I'll start with a couple.

Dr Death (old style mag wart).



Hoooochie on a Vibrax



Jig (Pink head/purple body).

Spoons work!


Sometimes Plugs work so well you have to learn how to net doubles at the same time..in this case a red firetiger and a bronze fire tiger plugs:

Wog:

Clouser

Ok, note to self..... Take glory shots with lure still in the jaw so I can contribute to this thread. All of my silver shots are just before release or after the wood shampoo.

got a couple vids from last year, its not those HUGE olypenn fish...

Abu, that first pic of that big buck in your last post is a freakin stud....

Man, Abu, you shoot more pictures in a day than I do in a year. I just realized I've only taken, actually a fishing partner took it, one picture of a coho with the lure - or Wog it was - in its mouth in my entire life. Probably cuz it was the first caught on one. Didn't take any other coho pictures the rest of the trip. Or trips since.

Sg

I am very sure not all of those caught Coho, but several caught my attention.

Was this a test?
#6of 26 is my fave.

#14 of 26 has caught the most..........

Good luck..........

I'll play....

This thread oughtta be proof that a coho is an awfully gullible critter. They'll hit just about ANYTHING that moves.

Man if that bunch of chrome won't fire a guy up-----love the notches on that Kwik---looks like it's been busy! Nice pics by all!!

This thread delivers!

Now I'm gettin into it.Thanks,gotta go make sure the hoootchiieeee spinner collection is up to par and change out some hooks on the hardware/plugs.For a minute there I still had "TUNA" on the brain,thanks to this thread it's all about the up and coming Ho's.Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

They either hit everything... or absolutely nothing!

nicee silveers

That's officially called a Martin's Nightmare.

Martin's Thin Twin, (Twitch) Martin's amputee hangback Baitfish Emulator skirt, Goldstar Needlefish hootchie.

You should see how the vortex created by the Thin Twin activates the tentacular action on the other components..... MONEY!

Not just for silvers but for chinook as well....

I like to use Kwikies...they are deadly on Coho...damn't that's a chum...sorry guys

Roger looks like he's staring at that chum.

Men who stare at chums..... LOL!

I'm just wondering why they think it's a coho....

P.S. Here we go again...

LOL, I am glad Abu couldnt find a pic of me to use in that, one of the best pp posts of all times.

I guess I was staring at Rottenchum not the chum.

Will silvers bite anything?


They'll bite spinners.


They'll bite big bright hoochie spinners.





They even eat homemade spinners.


I know you can catch them on spoons.






As Ryley said, sometimes they bite so much you have to net two at once.


Hell, I even heard they would eat a pink worm.



Give me one bait though, and I'll fish eggs for silvers every time.

I get most of mine on Lamiglas.

This is the best thread on pisca!!! hahah, lovin' it.

Lamigass? Is that some form of anis based scent?

anus?

The thing I like about Lamiglas rods is that once you hook a fish, one rod magically becomes 2!

I keed, I keed.

Putzalong,

This may seem like a dumb question to most, but since I do not know the answer I will ask it anyways.

How did you get the swivel onto that DickNite? Is it a split ring on the DickNite?

Thanks!

The #2 DickNite comes w/ a swivel attached to the welded ring...
We fish #1's n 0's 99.9% of the time

Threw a corkie and egg combo at "upper wall" once and got slightly hung so when I cranked my now modified corkie and hook combo in full speed, WHAM!!! Ten feet behing the outboard came an 8lb bright hooknose! Only thing I caught all day. Go figure. Ya never know what they'll eat! Throw the whole box at em' I say.

I'm pretty sure 50/50 dick nites work...

Jeez...all these pictures gave me my fix....now I don't even have to go out!

That's just crazy talk there. I'm on call or I'd be out even if for nothing better than to hear the water.

My coho pictures all suck. So much, in fact, that I quit taking them.

Glad to see that many others have better shots. There's some great ones in here.

This should serve as the reminder I have been needing that coho are extremely stupid, and when you're not catching them, it's probably because they are too stupid to even strike at a lure that day.
