seriously? what lure/bait combo? we "used" to do well launching at point defiance. It was a zoo, but we always boated fish. Worked well cause it was our first year with a 'real' sea-worthy boat too. but these days its nothing but skunks out there for us.

Post by: matt345 on April 05, 2011, 12:31:13 PM: We usually fish Tacoma side at incoming tide change and Vashon side on outgoing tide change. We typically fish spoons of varying color, we like the Irish flag, cookies and cream, and just plain old UV green and yellow behind a flasher usually of the green variety or green and orange. We fish the spoon about 36 inches behind the flasher and we are fishing using down-riggers we have three on the boat, we usually fish the bottom and dont start moving into the middle and upper water column until later in the year when the run starts picking up.
