Switch to a flasher with fin and lures that create their own action. That way you don't have to go so fast. Resi coho can be caught constantly at 40 to 50 ft. I just use dropper weight. Yesterday I used kokanee rod with 8oz dropper and 8inch flasher

Subscribed. Thanks, that was a great overview for new kayak anglers in the Sound.
-
Awesome video!!
-
Great video, thanks! I'm trying to get my kayaks prepped for this year. Last year I just started and am learning how to fish the Sound near the Olympia/Tacoma area.
-
The underwater camera is awesome!
-
Saw you headed out as I was headed in. Thanks for the video!
-
I have a hobie pro angler 14 and wish so bad I had access to the fisheries you do. So awesome!
-
Nice adventure my friend. Enjoyed it! Liked and subbed from a fellow kayaker. Stay safe and connected brother!
-
Subbed, cool content. I actually wanted to head out myself, do you have recommendations on where to launch my kayak / quiet areas in the sound to fish?
-
what size line are you using? I didn't catch that in the video?
-
Is Coho fishing open in area 10? I can't seem to find it on the the washington fish and wildlife website..Thanks,
-
It is possible if you tell me the kayak you are using? Thank you.
-
Use a diver. It's what I do from my Hobie and I've caught all of my resident Coho on a Double Deep Six
-
Is that the kastking 20 line counter? Just got one and it's so big. Returning it and getting the size 10. Even tho it has the smaller handle, 20 lb drag is enough for me.
-
What are the flags you have attached to your net? I like the idea!
-
"Thanks for sharing! I'm still concerned about the impact of the downrigger on my kayak, so I'll stick with free weights this season. Do you have any recommendations? :)
-
When / in what conditions do you wear your dry suit?
-
Where are you launching from?
-
How bad is your blowback on that 4lb ball in the sound?
-
Rod setup?
