Heyo,
This is my second full year of salmon fishing, but I'm having trouble being consistent when fishing plastics. I'm improving my anchovy roll and spoon tactics, but plastics still baffle me and often go untouched during the day's fishing.
I have a selection of colours in Hoochie, Cuttlefish and full Squid - highlights include White UV cuttlefish and squid, Green splatterback glow squid, Blue Glow and Army Truck Glow hoochie. Leader length vary between 20-30 inches and have decent action, though I think I can improve that too. I've also played around with UV Jugheads to get a wiggle out of them. Same results.
I'm starting to think that I'm fishing the wrong type of plastic in the area (using squid when i should use hoochie etc...) - what are your thoughts/experience as to what works best where? Should I just be patient?
I fish both Sooke and Sidney equally.
Thanks for your input!
