Thank you for your secret combo. I didn't use the correct flasher with the ACE Hi Fly last week. I usually use a 40# leader and number 5 hooks..but might be to long of a leader vs the 30in I was using the spoon length of 42+ . I didn't run an Irish cream for the spoon last time either...but did on the Herring Aide..most likely why I got the one Native. I was hoping for a surge of kings to come in but it seems by the WA State Creel reports they are just slowly coming in. I think I will head out there again this Saturday and see what I can pick up. It will be Oil Docks vs Jeff Head as I round West point heading out of Elliot.

Once you find one that consistently catches fish, watch in "swim" in the water. Takes good notes. Swim your other plugs and if they are not exactly mimicking your known swimmer, smash them with a hammer in front of the rest of your Tomics and tell them to either "Swim like this, or die by the hammer". Some will listen to you.
This is the way.

This is some solid advice. That is why it’s important to always fish with different plugs and switch them up. Colors often have nothing to do with eliciting a bite. It’s all about dat action boss. When purchasing used plugs (a recommended practice) always seek the ones that have the scratches and bite marks on them. They are tried and true. If you can’t catch a fish on a certain plug after a certain amount of time, toss it in the “to sell” bin and get rid of it. Streamer

I bought a box of plugs from The Moderator many many moons ago.....and none of them had bite marks on them?? Come to think of it, I don't think any of them have ever solicited a bite? Now I know why the plug box says "Hammer Box"....thought it stood for Hammertime.

...the go-to MA10 rig is the Jelly Crush or Cracked Ice HotSpot flasher.
cracked glass? Cracked Ice sounds good too but I am not familiar with that color unless it is new. Thanks for the advice, it's pretty frustrating to be at Jeff Head seeing fish on the finder and wondering what I am doing wrong. I've had to learn all my fishing stuff on my own so an occasional boost from a knowledgeable fisherman is much appreciated.

So an occasional boost from a knowledgeable fisherman is much appreciated. Luckily for you, Tule King Paker has Boat Ho'd many rides in knowledgeable fishermen's boats to bring you this information.

Down here they are looking at young of the year herring. 3,0 or 3,5 spoons are certain to target these hatchery chinook.
I have an older coyote spoon in former wonderbread. Because it has been eaten by returning chinook.

I'm switching to jigging with these tides at the delta. To much green stuff washed around on these flows.
