Used to be anchovy for me in a chrome Juan de Fuca teaser head. However the last two years it has been a bottle of Jack Daniels and a lot of sobbing at the dock after a day of no strikes. On a plus side I collected $43.00 in returnable bottles that were clanking around the hull of my boat however it cost me $30 000.oo for a liver transplant.....

Bait and more bait even in the winter (usually strip) as you can catch a few fish on one piece with the ocassional yote spoon once in while.and a purple haze hoochie or squirt.

Depends on where you are fishing and what time of year. Offshore I like to use spoons and hoochies. In shore I like bait - choves to match the size of the local bait - size is important. Early season I find small gear out fishes most things - so my favorite would be small coyotes and needle fish hoochies. If you can get fire cracker choves they can be great early season if you use the mini chove heads.

Commercial Troll: Hootchies and spoons. We carry a HUGE selection of both on-board at all times. This allows us to "match the hatch" and of course water conditions in pretty well any circumstances we encounter.

Guiding: Spoons, plugs, then hootchies, then bait - in that order.
Where I fish out of Ukee, bait is but rarely required. I don't really like the muss and fuss associated with bait, and have found that spoons and/or plugs will generally perform at least as well. Of course attention to the menu of the day, and what the water is like is The Key to success. Greatly prefer running the ol' 7 inch Tomics at full roar when the mature pilchards are around! Most of the smaller fish seem intimidated by the size of them, but the Biggies recognize a free lunch! Gotta love that slam on the plug, and the battle with a Large with no blade in-between you and the fish!

Cheers,
Nog
