west about 7 miles...when you hit the southern wall...not the lighthouse...just follow that wall about a mile and you will see the discharge....if somebody is cast ing there, that will not allow you to troll thru the discharge water , but it was hot all over the small bay created by the wall of lighthouse, and the wall of the landfill......the lure you so graciously gave me is owned by a coho mike!......i did a dumb thing last wk with it using it on 6 lb test and in that cold water i'm not sure that was smart...seagur flurocarbon...not sure if it stretches well when that cold...a few yrs ago i lost 6 lures in one day, using trimax copolymer line..brand new 8 lb test and tiny 1-2 # cohos kept breaking it....found out copolymer lines do not work well in water that is near freezing...wonder if flurocarbon is like that.....i used the perch color last wk and it was really hot and bought a bunch more and almost every fish came on that perch color today.....steve...thanks for the tip and the lure mike....wish i could go again it was really fun and they are big coho.....

I agree on the size of the ho,s this year so far. I have not caught one fish that was a toss back yet.

Thanks Steve. I had an idea on the location but was not sure.

Looks like the lake is going to be angry this weekend so I doubt we will be out.

Cabelas has a better selection and stock of those TD 7's and 9's and also the jointed version which put a limit in the boat last Friday.

I use Big Game 10# clear with no leader for the spring fishing. Sounds like over kill for the cohos until a big brown or a steelie hooks up and come out of the water.LOL

Was the perch lure a perch pattern or just perch colors?

Thanks

Way to go Stevie! Hey, you need to learn to tie the polomar knot. You know, if you only drag perch colored lures, you will probably only catch fish on perch colored lures. Glad you got into fish. I have not hit the big lake yet. Too many feet in the world right now. Eric has hit both the cohos and perch so he has been bringing home plenty. I met your office manager - seems like a nice person - I asked him to be patient with you!
