A few years ago (01 I believe) the resort I work for (as well as everyone on the westcoast) had a major herring shortage, the resort bought anchovies to finish the season off as they knew we were going to run out of herring with 2-3 weeks left, long story short, we were doing better on old freezer burnt herring and just heads then on the anchovies. Anchovies may work ok trolling but they sure didn't mooch very well.

BTW, this was mid to late August which is primarily silver fishing, not sure how they would have fished in June and July for kings.
