Coho Salmon
Chasing Coho Salmon off the coast of Seaside can be a rewarding experience, particularly if you time your trip right. These salmon are known for their acrobatic fights and delicious flavor. The best time to target Coho here is generally late summer to early fall, as they migrate through Monterey Bay. Look for areas with kelp beds and rocky outcroppings, as these provide cover and attract baitfish. Trolling with smaller spoons or plugs is a popular technique. Local advice: check the marine forecast before heading out, as Monterey Bay can be unpredictable. Launching from Monterey Harbor provides good access to the fishing grounds. Keep an eye out for signs of feeding activity, such as diving birds or surface disturbances. The Coho population in this area can fluctuate, so stay informed about current fishing reports and regulations.
