I've caught bright chum in the salt three ways: tossing flies around the mouths of creeks, casting a smallish chartreuse jig with soft plastic tail (had them chase the jig all the way to my feet), and trolling with a pink corkie between two painted pink steelhead hooks and that mess behind a flasher. I've seen the bobber and cut-plug guys literally slay the chums, and that will likely be my go-to this year.
