If you see big bait balls then the best way to fish is mooching. You can catch halibut or kings on the bottom or kings or silvers comeing up. I know the way we mooch at our lodge is we lift up and reel down instead of just reeling. Gives you a better action on the herring. Drop all the way to the bottom and then start working up by lifing up and reeling down, keep doing it untill you get to the top. Keep reepeating. If you are in big baitballs you will catch fish this way . guarantee it.
@HeadNegroInCharge some people don't have down riggers so they mooch. and its more cost effective your not burning gas also some people fish for the enjoyment of the whole scenario not just the fight.any idiot can drag a herring behind a boat on down-riggers.and if you no the good fish travel lanes you dont need to cover allot of ground i know a guy that will kick anybody's ass jigging a candle-fish in a 10 ft boat.cause he knows what the hell he is doing.
Good Video, great information, thanks for doing it.

I've seen a lot of people from the USA using this technique here in BC-it's at best marginally effective.
Downrigging works better-a person covers more ground thus putting the offering in front of more fish.
