Is anyone doing any good yet fishing the lower Columbia bars off the bank? I've been fishing the bars for about 5 years or so (see a lot of fish caught), but I still haven't caught a steelhead down there. What leader length do you use up there? I've used about 18-24". Should I be using more? I put a spin-n-glow/corkie on the leader. I shouldn't use bait too, should I?Also, I just use a pyramid sinker on a slider. Should I be using a dropper, or doesn't that matter? I don't know what I'm doing wrong? Anyway, I hear a lot of the fish that have already been caught this year have been small-like 5/6 lbs. BUT hey there's nothing wrong with that!! wink If I could only get one... frown
