7/21/2015 4:24:00 PMThey will hit most usual salmon gear, but a white flasher followed by a small pink squid ( 16" leader between flash/and squid) trolled very slow will get em for sure. Shallow just below surface to start the day, then go maybe 60' max deep during the day. If you got a fish on leave the other gear down if possible, they will hit that too. Bleed them quickly and ice them. No downrigger, no problem. Use bananna weights or a diver, these fish can be found in the upper part of the water. Look for schooling fish on the surface and cast buzz bombs or spoons (pink color also)
