I can't catch salmon trolling in tidal water with anything so I thought if I made something different I might change my luck. I did get some Brad's super bait cut plugs so maybe that will change my luck.
Steelmonkiller, You prefer trolling tidal water without a flasher/dodger or whatever? Just a herring and/or something else?
Only bite I have ever gotten trolling in tidal water was when I jigged for anchovies/candlefish and put three of them on the hook and trolled while lifting and dropping my pole. They just kinda flopped and swung around. I don't think I was using a flasher then but I don't remember for sure. Salmon hit when the bait almost broke the surface.
