The boulder field. The beach seems extra rocky this year in general. The sand hasn’t built up against our ramp like it has in past years.

A very good opening day for MA9 resident coho fishing with @Stonedfish today. We found them on a couple different beaches despite the rough weather. Big thunder/lightening and heavy rain at times. I finished 7 for 9 with coho ranging from 18-21 inch fork length. Not giants, but fun on a 6 weight. No chinook were touched.

I also fished that secret beach from 5-9 this morning before having to call it. No bites for the first 2 hours but eventually I ran into some smaller fish once the current started to pick up. This was my biggest and is probably in the running for smallest fish kept today.
Fun to be back out.

Seemed like high slack lasted forever this morning. A 6am slack tide is tough because you really don’t get into the good fishing until closer to 7. Which on a super sunny day can be a real buzzkill - thankfully today was perfect weather.
Fun day. The weather was perfect as far as the clouds and rain. The lightning made things a bit interesting.

1 fish limit, must keep first Chinook caught regardless of size. Would save a lot of fish.
My buddy released one pushing 30 and texted me about it. It's not making up to the spawning beds, to say the least.
