8/20/2011 8:50:00 PMhey gringo, i have a quick question, im about to make my fist treck down to the skykomish for pink salmon, and was curious what setup you think i should use. 1- float a dink float with a pink/white jig(anise smelly jelly) or 2- drift fish a pink corkie and pink yarn or 3- cast and retreive a pink spoon.
thank you,
levi.

8/21/2011 10:08:00 PMHey Gringo - way to go. Love the 4x4 Red Wagon - swwwweeeeet rig, hope it works well for you. You will need it to haul out all the salmon. He-he. Thanks for the jigging tips above. Sounds like you were in slower, deeper water - would you say you stayed in the top 5 to 10 feet of water with your method? Tired of getting so many snags.
That is cool you built up your own jigs too - sound like winners.
