Steelyman, that guy was there Friday and Saturday and even 1/4 mile away in a boat you could hear him and it drove us (as well as every other boat in the area) crazy too! Friday the guy got in a big argument with some other people for some reason as well.

Bobber and pink steelhead jig 2' down was the key for me. Caught 19 yesterday (plus one snagged). I got 16 on the same jig. Probably had twice that many bobber downs and/or fish on. Seemed to be a lot more effective fishing it in the open water away from the heavy concentrations of fish at the hatchery in shallow water. There were a lot of guys doing well on herring.

We tried spinners/spoons again this year (with siwash to minimize snagging) and didn't find them near as effective as last year.
