Went back (to the Alsea) with my uncle today (Friday). He picked up a 25 lb chinook and I got a 32 pounder - all on herring trolled behind a fish flasher and 3oz lead ball droppers. The bungees worked extremely well, I am a believer. The hook almost fell out of the mouth of the one I caught when we got it on board, and my uncle got a soft hook up but the fish practically had it all the way down its throat. Both were hens, so lots of eggs to cure. Caught both above the first power line.
