The commercial fishers in Alaska have hatchery chum returning to areas that are not needed for spawning and are stricly there to be harvested. The seiners come in and wipe them out. On occasion, we would get to a spot before a commercial opener and there were so many chums in the bay it would make Hoodsport look like a 4th grade science project. We pitched Buzz Bombs until our arms fell off but to no avail. But they worked like magic on the pinks and cohos.
