Run the deep six at daylight and then switch to mooching. Most of the fish will be in the 45-60' or deeper and you won't be able to touch them with any speed pulling a diver and flasher.Or, set your sights on pinks which you can run shallower and much slower.If you have your sights set on catching salmon in the sound with a boat, I would be budgeting for a downrigger asap, even a manual would be 1,000x better than divers.
Quote from: ASHQUACK on July 21, 2021, 09:16:04 PMInstead of triangles or 360's use Leo's flashers. They work a triangle if set on the center hole and rotate like a 360 if you use the side hole setting and they don't drag like the 360's.Do you use a bumper leader with them?

We limit daily in 11 and I never fish deeper than 40’ on the line.
I will add that we have stopped using plug cut herring over the years in the sound because of the high amount of dogfish. The Dogfish will not leave plug cut herring alone. So to alleviate having to reset our gear and rebait every 15 minutes due to Dogfish, we stopped using herring a long time ago. Coho Killers, Coyote Spoons, Kingfishers, and Hoochies are our mainstay now behind a flasher. However, The Brad's Killer Cut Plug style "spinners" are really awesome, and they have a scent chamber with a little piece of foam in them too. You can squirt your favorite attractant in there, or use a wad of canned tuna in there. They are a good alternative to a plug cut herring.Gary
