This is for the marina between the bay and the dam: In the fall, when the salmon start moving in, they push the bass back toward the bay and into the marina. With a spinner bait, target the dock pilings and the grass on the bottom. I’ve had the best success with a white or chrome bait with silver willow leaf blades. Use a white fluke tail trailer.
