pinks are a pain in the ass... with this many silvers around dont wait for the pinks to arrive to get out and fish. the beaches were loaded with silvers yesterday...

ned-
re 1 - They should ride pretty low in the water... a nice V wake is what you want on the retrieve.
re 2 - I always strip flies in the salt... never let them swing. These fish like to chase down bait fish and it seems to me that a quick retrieve is best. i like a steady V wake behind my popper so i either use a 2handed retrieve or one hand but use my rod tip to keep the fly moving.
