Hi all,
It's nice to see that the Washington board has a moderator now, so I won't have to spend all my time on the tube board. Anyway, I grew up in Grays Harbor, and have salmon fished that area and out of Westport since I was old enough to hold a rod. While trolling does allow you to cover a greater area, I would say that mooching produces the most, if not biggest fish. This is especially true if you have several anglers working their bait at the same time. For an extreme example, take charter boats out of Westport. They all almost exclusively mooch and tend to have excellent results.
