How do you get "closed mouth" cohos to open their mouths (and take your bait)?
I've heard a lot about how cohos will typically clsoe their mouths to bait while at the same time tormenting anglers with their jumping in front of them, on top of their baits, etc. I saw it today at the Capliano River, where cohos were jumping regularly and ignoring the best efforts of a fly fisherman, two guys tossing spoons (one a Colorado and another I didn't recognize) and a couple guys using pink wool. Could it be the time of day (afternoon in this case), tidal cycle (just after high tide at the mouth), moon, type of bait, or what? Any ideas?
