Friday July 19th coho and bottom fish

Target: Salmon/bottom fish

Catch: 4 coho/4 ling cod, 4 bottom fish

Fishermen / boat: Glen and Jeff on Glen’s Weldcraft

Left dock at 6:00 a.m. , returned to dock 2:00 p.m.

Rigging: Spinfish 3.0 Lemon Head Glo and bleeding frog/ copper pipe jigs and 5 oz flutter jigs for bottom fishing

Conditions:Very calm

Started fishing about 220’ off Twin Rocks, 23’ on the line counter. The bite was slow at first, moved out to about 260’ and got pretty good action. Jeff used the bleeding frog, and I must say it performed as well as my favorite the Lemon Head Glo. After getting the coho, we decided to run up to Cannon Beach to go bottom fishing. Caught our 4 ling cod, and released several others before calling it a day. It took 1 hour and 2 minutes to come back from Cannon Beach to Garibaldi. Days when the conditions allow going that far north are few, so need to be taken advantage of. We saw whales, mola mola, tons of birds, and some porpoises.
