I too have been thinking about heading out to Hoodsport for the first time. So is the preferred way to fish these chum by anchoring and casting? I've always been more of troller myself. Is anchoring up more productive on this fishery?

A question for MikeC: On the setup you describe above, what sort of weight are you talking about? A small banana weight in-lined, or more of drift setup with something like pencil lead, a slinky, or bouncing betty?

Thanks!
