When I lived in SeaTac I got to go out with a lot of different guys, on a lot of different boats.
Used everything you could think of; dodgers/flashers/divers and downriggers, etc.. every guy had a different method, but I caught most of my fish on a 6 ounce banana weight and a cut plug herring.
Sure the other things worked, but when they weren't...

I would end up being the only guy with a fish.
If the fish are not biting, try something different.
