Problem is, your trip proved nothing about the efficacy of your lure. A wide open coho bite isn't much of a test. They would have hit orange peels. Try them further up river when the fish arrive in the Harbor, then you have a better test. Glad you got to find out they will at least TAKE fish. How effective they are remains to be seen.
Great looking pics though. Awesome fish and the Westport sunrise pic is the best!! Congrats on a great trip.
