Thanks for the hints. As a mostly fly fisherman, the whole concept of trolling is usually boring to me, although watching the depth-finder is a nice distraction. I like to be busy when I'm fishing, so working my gear by mooching or motor-mooching a herring seems more attractive.

Since the hatchery chinook are heading to all parts of Puget Sound, does the bite turn on first in Area 9 in north sound and then progressively get better into Area 10? Since almost all the chinook have to pass a northern point, does a "head 'em off at the pass" strategy of fishing somewhere like Point-No-Point effectively give an angler opportunity at more fish during the limited season available?
