Quick, 2-minute, video with underwater footage of 3.3" OG2 from a trip last week to Sekiu. Lots of unclipped fish that we released. (On Wednesday morning, we caught 13 unclipped coho before we found a unicorn that was missing its adipose fin.)

The most effective color that day was the fluoro-white with black-scales. We were fishing with a flasher, or attractor, connected directly to the downrigger ball. The lure was fished 2 feet above and 6 feet behind the ball.

All-in-all, had a great time on the water!

Over the years, I've subscribed to a number of outdoor, fishing, and hunting publications. Some have been great resources in terms of building knowledge of particular aspects of a sport: Whether it's Bugle Magazine for the elk hunter, Sporting Classics for all around fish and game, or the tried and true like Outdoor Life. Others have been, more-or-less, advertising journals. Light on content; but, heavy on ads.

The guys at Northwest Fishing Reports have a new publication that's worth checking out: Northwest Reel Life. Each issue contains solid data for the northwest fisherman. Articles are well written. And, I've gained new insight each time I've picked it up.

​Check it out! (Here's a link.)

Received the below report and photos from Jim V. who was fishing the OG2s out of Valdez for the coho:​

Had two hours yesterday morning before I needed to pack things up and depart Sekiu. Decided to make the best of it and get a short trip in. This video captures the outing:

Was able to get up to Sekiu last week and chase the coho with the OG2. We ended up releasing a number of wild fish (two were toads), and, we also released a couple of really nice kings. But, that said, we were able to bring back a couple of clipped coho for the grill.

The most productive lure was the 5" fluoro-green/chartreuse. We trolled it solo--no flasher. And, we trolled it  fast (about 60 degrees of angle in the downrigger cable). Our most productive depth was in the 30- to 35-foot range.
