More like 4-6 feet  ;D

Fished all day but only landed 3 male pinks...

So many fish in the river but it feels like i'm doing something wrong.
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I got skunked this morning on the Lower Vedder. Some days you get fish, some days you don't. Just yesterday I hooked and landed well over 20 pinks on the Lower and today I didn't get any. A little tip is to try something a bit different. The fish see so much pink wool etc. so changing it up a bit can make all the difference.

Twitch a jig through them and you'll get them to bite. Out fished floated jigs 5-1 the last two days by twitching.

I was fishing the Sumas.  Perhaps it was clearer up river.

That makes more sense

To everyone else: Went out today and landed 4 pinks. Lots in the system but kind of tight-lipped.

There seemed to be less fish than a couple of days ago too.  I managed to get 2 of them to bite.  The rest of them were all snagged by accident so they are definitely around but not as willing biters this morning.

twitching jigs for pinks usually result in snagging the fish

If you are snagging fish by twitching then you need to twitch faster to keep your jig near the surface so the fish will rise and bite the jig.

Exactly too many people are ignorant to my help, was at the cap today and saw some guy twitching jigs but he was always snagging he still kept 2 fish and left as i called the dfo, whata shame told him that he should put it under a float

Good on you for trying to help, I find most people appreciate the help but there are some that will ignore it and go about their technique.
Twitching when performed correctly is a deadly technique.

It's all about what you have confidence in. For pinks and coho sometimes I like twiching my own marabou jigs on a 9ft fast light rod and have had some great success with it and yes, if done properly at the proper settings I would almost never deal with foul hooking.

Fish or cut bait.

You don't have to strike at every bump.
Sometimes you have to be patient.
If you're snagging too many than its time to move!

Twitching is waaaaay tooooo much fun. I discovered how deadly it was last year for coho. Haven't had a thing hit this year though, but also haven't twitched much.

I agree, twitching is really fun. Had some great success in dec/jan twitching twisty tails for Bulls. Love the way they slam it. Haven't tried it for pinks because snagging would be guaranteed where I've been fishing (river is black with fish) but I'm looking forward to trying it for coho.
