It didn\u2019t take long for us to pull in our first coho, but overall the strikes were few and far between. So we pulled up our gear and headed to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cloverpassresort.com\/\">Tatoosh<\/a>\u00a0area. We spent a couple of hours there, bringing in three more silvers, four pinks and a cod before heading back to the dock.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Oscar and I were joined by his mother, Karen. Rather than head over to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.silverkingalaska.com\/\">Grant Island<\/a>, we decided to make the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cloverpassresort.com\/\">Pup to Tatoosh<\/a>\u00a0troll our first stop. Oscar set his mom up on a downrigger with an Abe &amp;\u00a0Al\u2019s flasher trailing a black hoochie with a gold twinkle skirt \u2013 what we call an oil slick or black gold set-up. Oscar went with a cut plug behind a dodger on a banana weight, while I used my black flasher and a very small pink hoochie on the other downrigger at about forty feet. I ended up switching to a green hoochie, then to a black hoochie as well, catching one silver on each rig. The bite was steady again most of the day. We were marking fish on the depth finder, with large groups showing up in the coves north of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ketchikanfish.wpengine.com\/\">Pup Island<\/a>\u00a0and south of Tatoosh.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-and-mom-1024x768-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-and-mom-1024x768-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-and-mom-1024x768-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscar-and-mom-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Karen was the big winner of the day however, as she pulled in her limit of silvers along with a chum and a couple of pinks. Oscar and I also brought in three silvers each, and a few pinks, giving our boat a total of twelve silvers, seven pinks and a chum before we headed back to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cloverpassresort.com\/\">the dock<\/a>\u00a0around noon that day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscars-mom-1024x884-1-300x259.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscars-mom-1024x884-1-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscars-mom-1024x884-1-768x663.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ketchikanalaskafishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Oscars-mom-1024x884-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pinks are really starting to turn color at this point, so their numbers will probably drop off pretty dramatically over the next week or so. The silvers are gaining weight, and we\u2019re seeing more fish over the 10 lb.\u00a0mark each day. I expect the coho run to peak over the next couple of weeks, but remain strong until the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>I will get out there a couple more times over the next few days, and give you an update next Thursday on another\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCBK9QH70sGu_Sf0xKifZ0Ag\">Ketchikan Fishing Minute<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to another\u00a0Ketchikan Fishing Minute.
