lizard fish for salmon?

I've been trying to mooch for salmon at half moon bay with lizard fish from the harbor.  I've yet to get a bite(except rockfish).  Would I be better with frozen anchovies?

Given the option, I would go with the anchovy.  I believe salmon will eat almost anything small that swims if they're hungry.  I once found a rolled-up yellowtail rock fish fillet skin in the belly of one.     

Brine the anchovies in max-salted water overnight and they'll hold together a lot longer.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
