Bordeau & Hedgehog:-
Try any of these below with the Green Haze flasher pictured (it is a good allround flasher.....I've used it often and it's good). I'm pretty sure you'll get hits on these. (Although I can't guarantee how big they'll be...........
Fish off French Creek are a lot of times partial to needlefish hoochies......( I find 38"......40lb test.....back of flasher to nose of hoochy, all hardware included, leader length works fine).
Chinook I got on Monday had needlefish in it's stomach. All the biggest salmon I ever got off F.C. over time were on needlefish hoochies.
Far left is the T-Rex.
You don't have to rig them like I do...you can use the good old double hook setup which is far easier to tie up.
Mine have tubing and glow beads inside them plus a little tiny bead at the eye of the hook to counteract the offset so the hook tracks straight instead of curling up.
Other guys just use a Siwash hook and a barrel swivel.
Real bait is always good too...but this time of year and summer there are too many Dogs and P-Cod out there waiting for a free meal.

SeaFever, that is so nice of you helping out the guys trying to learn the ropes fishing in your area. Bonus points for the great pics. I love hoochies, so your my kind of guy. Good on you for going the extra mile in trying to be helpful to the newbs. There doesn't seem to be as many guys willing to do that on this forum any more, so you deserve a pat on the back for being so helpful. Keep up the great posts.
