Sekiu Derby

[Stonefish]

Anyone have the results from this weekends derby?
I'd like to know how many fish were checked and what the winning fish was.
I'm hoping to get a bit few more coho out of the sound before things wind down. I'm hoping more are on the way.
Thanks,
SF

From our friend John Keizer of SaltPatrol.com:

Team Salt Patrol fished the Sekiu Salmon Derby this past weekend. Derby was small about 130 anglers fished it but they all had a good time.

It was a real fun time, with lots of coho 6-9 pounds.

The best action was found just east of Sekiu in 500-600ft of water. We caught most of our fish on a Shasta Tackle Swing Blade with a Wiggle Hoochie in Flame Orange. The best bite was early AM and it slowed after about 10:30. Best fishing was 45-90ft on the downriggers.

John Keizer of SaltPatrol.com was the guest host at the awards ceremony.

Sekiu stays open until the end of the month if you want a last shot at coho.

Thanks to John Keizer of SaltPatrol.com for the report!
