Hey BearLake: I don't know much about the bay but I have a buddy who moved up there and fished it all the time. He passed away last year but before that he communicated to me that to fish the bay you have to use trap hooks like we do for drifting halibut. Unfortunately they lose many outfits and you have to know how to tie one up. He took a Jed Welsh sliding trap hook there and revolutionized the fishing. Jed snells the front hook with an extra piece of mono and it becomes adjustable to the size of the bait by simply loosening or tightning the snell. When you snell the hook leave two long ends to perform this task. Most all fish are caught on the back treble anyway.
