Most of those harbor areas are around 30 Feet or so plus or minus 10. At 9:12 in the video I had a depth of 29.9 FOW. Probably say it was around that 30 - 35 FOW.

Fished out of Hammond this past weekend and did fairly well.  Did you notice any of your coho choking up gobies?

We did see bait in them. I couldn't tell if it was shad or alewives, though. I didn’t notice any gobies. A few weeks ago, we caught some lakers by the gong that had pretty fresh gobies in them.

Multiple fish were choking them up in our cooler.  Not super fresh but definitely identifiable as gobies.  Coincides with why our riggers set at 20' were very productive.  Nice catch.

That’s super cool.  We did catch a coho on a spoon on the bottom.  That would explain the gobies. Thanks for pitching in and contributing to this post.  It’s always good to hear extra information like this.

There's been plenty of gobies in the Cal Park (Hammond area) cohos the last few weeks.  Even when the fish are hitting lures at the surface. Yesterday there were several with alewife and there have also been gizzard shad.  Plenty of bug on the warmer days - it's like Golden Corral for cohos!
