There are pike in the back bays and at the south end. They will bite anything imitating a fish like a long Rapala or big Rooster Tails :tup: No clue about chinook.

I have been marking fish that I think are chinook between 40 and 60 feet and usually at the mouth of the large bays. There are some fat kokes again this year and they are petty easy to find. Pink blade double wammy's with maggots behind a string of flashers has worked best for me. Let us know if find any chinooks.
