I fished sardine wrapped Kwikfish on the Bogey this last Sat. for the first time. I know this is a very effective method but I didn't even get a bump on them all day. I tuned them to make sure they wree running true and I counted out five passes of my line guide to get the distance behind my boat. I anchored at the top of each run and got the plugs working then very slowly backed them down the river. I didn't feel I had control over the depth of the plugs. How do you ensure they are deep enough? Also, I don't trust the factory hooks, I'm debating between getting 3/0 Gammy trebel hooks or 5/0 siwash....any suggestions?

I did end up catching a fresh brite 30# King at the mouth of the Bogey and the Sol duc on a Buzzbomb. I was running 30# test on my plug rods but only 12# test on my other rod for silvers. I hooked it on the 12# test and it took me half way down to Richwine bar

Overall it was an incredible day on the river
