Some use floats, but most fish on bottom. Some use a 3 way swivel with a longer line going to the weight, to keep the roe just off bottom.
Some just use a 2 way swivel with a 12-20" leader and just let it do its thing on the bottom.
I think fishing on the bottom is the more productive technique.

Thank you for your answer.

Pardon my ignorance,  regarding a 3 way swivel, may I know the weight you generally use, the length of the line with weight, and the length of the leader.  I want to try this rig tomorrow.

Thanks

I've been using 20lb mainline and 12lb leader.

Out yesterday Glenn Valley area from noon (incoming) until around 5:30 (outgoing).  Picked up a jack hatch and wild around 6 lbs just as the tide started going out.  Both on hoe roe from last week - salted lightly and boraxed when caught.  Clarity was pretty good until a storm blew through and the tide changed around the same time - muddied up pretty good.

Out today same place, same bait from 1 (end of incoming) until 5 (outgoing) only a few hits and lost one to a long line release.

Clarity today was better than yesterday.  Maybe 8-12".

Doesn't really matter IMO. Say 2 feet to the weight and 12-15" to the hook. I stopped using this method and started fishing right on bottom after reeling in to many times and seeing it all tangled up together.
You could also use a bar rig to keep everything straightened out and use high test mono for your leader like we do in upper Fraser for same reasons.

What lb test is everyone using for main line and leader?

20 lb braid, 12 lb mono leader

Out today with a buddy at Glen Valley in Langley and later in Mission upstream of Mission bridge. We fished a couple of hours at Langley in the morning at low tide, then the rest of the day in Mission from incoming to high slack. We had our best day so far with 5 hatch (4 in Langley with 2 in first 2 casts!), 1 wild, and a chum landed. Lost another coho off Mission when leader snapped off. Highlights of the trip were a red spring that was seen caught in the tidal and a 7 ft sturgeon landed off Mission by boaters.

This is how productive our day was.

Fished north arm from 11:00 to 4:30 with only one solid bite (when i was talking on my phone). One small wild coho landed next to me. Saw a total of one fish roll in front of me. Sloooooooow. Talked to the guy next to me and he told me he was into fish day before and saw many more surfacing. Should of been there yesterday!

 I lost a coho jack in the North Arm today and a guy I spoke with landed a couple hatchery on the other side of the norm arm on Thursday . They are moving through.With the gentile tides, it makes me wonder whether outgoing or incoming tides is better.

Fished a bar below New West for the entire day from low to high and to low again. Not a bite for me even with the best bait, freshly cured chum roe. Only saw one wild the entire day. Fish were blowing by. They just didn't bite anything, at least the adult coho. Only a few jacks for for the entire bar for the entire day. Not a good day at all. Funny a week ago I couldn't keep them off the hook. Puzzling the fish were there again with risers all over but just don't bite much this time.
