Coho Salmon
Avila Beach offers a shot at Coho salmon, although they are less abundant than other species in the area. Your best bet is to target them during the late summer and early fall as they migrate along the coast. Focus your efforts on trolling nearshore waters, particularly around kelp beds and rocky outcroppings. Small spoons and spinners are effective lures, and using a flasher can help attract attention. A local tip: pay attention to bird activity, as diving birds often indicate the presence of baitfish, which in turn attract salmon. Coho salmon are known for their acrobatic fights, so be sure to use appropriate gear. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits before you start fishing.
