The weather has been terrific in September, with clear skies and mild temperatures for most of the month. There is a crispness in the air early in the morning however, indicating that October is not too far away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I hit the water last Friday with Erik, leaving\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cloverpassresort.com\/\">Clover Pass Resort<\/a>\u00a0at about 8:00 AM in one of the yellow boats. That was a bit later than I would usually get out, but still two hours in front of the tide change. I went with the black gold set-up, and within the first hour, I had two nice silvers on board. After that, I didn\u2019t have much action, finishing my day with just the two fish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Erik fished mostly with a cut plug, but did not have much luck, pulling in just one coho that morning. Overall, the bite was slow that day, with guests at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cloverpassresort.com\/\">Clover Pass Resort<\/a>\u00a0reporting that they too were having a tough day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-dodger-1-1024x614-1-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-dodger-1-1024x614-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-dodger-1-1024x614-1-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-dodger-1-1024x614-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Oscar and I got back out there in one of the Livingston skiffs. I again ran the black hoochie, while Oscar threw out a cut plug behind a dodger with deep blue color on one side. We trolled from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ketchikanfish.wpengine.com\/\">Pup Island to Tatoosh<\/a>\u00a0and back, as usual, and before long, Oscar had four nice coho in the boat, while I only had one. I then switched over to a cut plug as well, and saw my luck change a bit. By the time we headed back to the dock, Oscar had his limit of six silvers, while I added another three, including one that weighed just over twelve pounds.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/net-shot-coho-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/net-shot-coho-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/net-shot-coho-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/net-shot-coho-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.silverkingalaska.com\/\">Silverking Lodge<\/a>\u00a0General Manager, Jeremy Merrill, was also out on Tuesday, fishing a green hoochie and a blue True Roll lure.
