Well I'm no expert, but I can give my $.02 on Chinook. The St.Helens area gets VERY crowded when the Chinook are in. So, just look for all the other boats and join one of the hog lines. Then watch very carefully where most of the fish are being caught(inside, outside, etc). You can move to that depth or just remember that for the next time you are out. Wobblers are the prefered fall Chinook lure. I live Alvins and Simons, but there are many choices. Everybody has their favorite color and I've caught fish on many different combinations. Just put out a variety and see what works. Blues, greens, and copper half and half have probably worked best for me. The rule of five and five is a good place to start. Thats five foot dropper and five foot leader. You will have to change your weight to match the current at any specific time. Be prepared to put up lots of lead on the line if the current is really strong. Good luck!:smash:
