This wind stuff is pretty kooky. I think the only concidence is that guides hammer fish. Take Marty's advice and fish with this person. Ask him/her what modifications in gear and presentation to make when the wind kicks up. Another guide that trolls is Steve Hansen from Shilshole. Also try using lures instead of just herring. There are many other factors besides hunger that trigger a salmon strike. The aforementioned grandslam bucktail has been hot as well as the the new squid-patterned ProKing Spoon.
Hint: Try switching over to a dodger, but run it tight to the ball, because the action (kick) is much better.

Peace Out...
