I went to the mouth of the hoh last weekend with my boy. Some folks were catching em pretty good, I didn't have very good luck - am new to salmon fishing. Seems most were throwing spinners in bronze. I am NOT used to bouncing spinners off the bottom at all.

Sunday night right at tide there weren't very many fisherman left and a man across the stream was bouncing some eggs. He was hooking up like crazy - every 3rd cast or so. So I cut up some eggs that I cured last week and second cast got hit, went to give my boy the rod and forgot to set the hook - off he went.

Is the 50/50 you are talking of a dick nite lure? What size is best? Do you use weight?

I think that we will go back this weekend and throw everything in the box at em.

How do you fish the worm? Weight/no weight??

Any help you can give this newbie would be greatly appreciated.
