After observing the salmon at the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River here in Oregon, and watching them eating away at the smaller fish (minnows maybe?) that were swimming around, it got me to thinking about what lure would best mimic what I saw the salmon eating. And wouldn't ya know it? The soft jerkbait came to mind.
I have a bunch which I have never used. Why haven't I used them? Well, quite frankly, I really have no clue how to use them. I don't know whether I should just connect them to the hook and toss them out there without weight or what kind of hook to use with them for that matter.
What I'm looking for is the basics of rigging up a soft jerkbait and the basics of fishing with them. Your help is greatly appreciated! I know I can count on you guys. You've helped me tons in the past.
