I fish the exact same method as "bobberdown" from the south jetty at Nehalem. A whole herring under a float bobbing in the chop works best for coho, and a cutplug under a float with a slow retrieve works best for nooks. This year is the first year I've fished this way, thanks to a post by "fishbait". I've had a blast with this method, thanks fishbait.
