    Stripping baskets

    I use a Linkurv stripping basket that I got for free but if you don't want to spend $100 I have a buddy who uses this Aventik basket and it does the job and is a similar design...

    What's in your vise?

    Some coho clousers to restock the box. If it ain’t broke why fix it? 😉

    2/3 on Coho today on the outgoing. First one was a chunky 26” fish, then after fishing for 2-3 hours with no action, me and @SteelHeadDave doubled up on 3-4lb coho! Super fun moment, we hooked up within a second of each other😁

    1/1 on the outgoing this morning, biggest of the year so far. Hit 10’ in front of me and took me into my backing by running down the rip. Quite a few coho caught on the beach and a lot of jumpers close in.

    Sierra Trading Post has the TFO Axiom 2-X in 6wt, 11wt and 12wt on sale for $200. I really don't need another rod but I picked up the 6wt because I can't resist at that price.

    One of my cousins told me that when people got too close to him on the beach he'd start talking to himself psychotically. Seemed to do the trick most the time :ROFLMAO:

    Glad you got some! It was looking a little slow out there for us fly guys this morning.

    Fished for about 3 hours this morning, went 0/0 with one 16” shaker landed. More of a test run for my new TFO Blitz which I’m happy with. Very easy to cast and rockets line with little effort. I saw quite a few pinks caught on the other side of the beach so I’ll be over there tomorrow when...

    What's in your vise?

    Didn’t feel like battling the wind on the beach this morning so I filled up the box instead

    Dang! Your 40+ failed? Clean break? Truly shows the power of the pink salmon. Nothing can stop a humpy😆

    What Are You Eating?

    Early dinner today was Coho caught a few hours earlier marinated with soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, and brown sugar, and Zucchini fresh from the garden sautéed with some assorted spices.

    1/4 today. Lots of shakers and a few big fish I had on for a second then popped off. I’ve seen a decent amount of big fish jumping close to the beach, especially today. Lots of bait with big fish crashing through it 20 feet out. Had a seal take two shakers off my line. Pretty interesting experience😆

    4/4 today, beach got hot around an hour or so before slack high tide. Lots of pinks and wild coho caught. I kept one pink and one hatchery coho, and let go a pink that I belly snagged (fought like hell 😆) and a pretty good sized unclipped coho.

    Classic reels

    Here’s a few of my favorites from my collection. a Hardy St George 3 3/8 with the agate line guard, 1492 pre war medalist, a Pridex with the original box and a Pebeco 4. The Pebeco 4 is a Swedish reel made by Record in the 40s-60s that was sold to Pebeco, which apparently makes it quite rare...

    Lunch was resident coho that was caught this morning. Tossed it in the oven with salt and pepper, and topped it with some lemon and butter. Some of the best eating salmon in my opinion!

    Got first keeper of the year in area 10 this morning! Lots of shakers, one other big bite. Lots of 2” baitfish around so I adjusted my fly accordingly and landed the keeper. Great fight lots of acrobatics but he stayed pinned. Perfect conditions: strong tide, overcast, and just a little bit of wind.
