Needlefish. Same observation for me on Friday.

Cool. Over the years it's been pilchards, good sized herring, squid, needlefish, krill, plus many years of baby herring and needlefish, and one year of baby rockfish. That"s why I have too much gear.
I once hung a big needle fish from the throat of a Chinook by the nose on my hoochie and sent it down again to get another.

I recall my Dad would use a hootchie over a minnow teaser back in the 60's quite often. Haven't seen that method in decades!
