Silvers from shore, Whidbey.

[BOWHUNTER45]

My suggestion would be buzz bombs but remember silvers are very aggressive fish.  Therefore instead of working the lure like the package says you want to work it more aggressively.  Hold your tip towards the water and rip.  It creates a vibrating noise in the water.  It will anger them and they will attack it.  However if you are fishing possession point you may want to use bait because people tend to get mad when they are using bait and you are casting over them.  Some people say to use green or yellow for silver however I stick with pink.  I fare pretty well in the salmon world usually getting well into my third card Catching my limit everyday I go.  As for them attacking close to shore that is true last year I had want beach himself.

You sure those aren't pinks?

O.K Really flip this one upside down ... I see this all the time in the SKAGIT ..When those fresh humpies show up and everyone is yelling how they caught silvers    Just remember one thing ...SILVERS HAVE TEETH

Well, today I donated 15 bucks worth of buzzbombs to the sound, so I think I'll try the herring method tomorrow. What do you think the bare minimum distance between the float and hook is. I can't tell how deep the water is...

I have never ran the rig with less then a 3' leader.  You will be able to tell if your bait ia stuck on the bottom by the way your bobber looks.  Good luck I hope you have some action.

H20 I applaud you for always trying to help people out. I would like to add a shore fishing spot that people might want to try. I have done real well at Fort Casey in the past. Like the Bait Box hole, the silvers pass right next to shore making it a great spot for the boatless. I have seen people use herring under a bobbler, but I have never tried it. I have done real good with 2" chrome buzz bombs, pink/pearl and pink. I have done the best with chrome and the 2" size has been the best producer. The nice thing about Ft Casey is there is a lot of room. A lot more than the Bait Box. If you can get a spot then the Bait Box is great. If it's crowded then head up to Casey, Its a blast.
