Depends on the tide…I’d be careful! It’s really a better area with adrift boat and a kicker…

DO NOT FISH WITH BEADS ON THE SMITH…OR ANY RIVER FOR THAT MATTER!!! King salmon actually will bite when given a chance and don’t need to be mouth snagged, lined or flossed!!!!!

Off the bank, throw No. 5 Blue Fox spinners in the early morning hours and then switch to drifting eggs on a slinky or under a float.

Good luck!
