Vibrations don't do much - pinks attack what appear to be small fish.

There are a few lures that work well.

For many years, I used a pink metal spoon with a white lightning bolt on it.
There is also a crinkle finish plastic lure but you need weight to cast it unless you have a very light rod.

There are a couple of more good ones but they are the ones that I use the most.

For spotting purposes: Sockeye jump in the middle of the river, sometimes clear out of the water.
Pinks kind of "porpoise" (just slightly come out of the water) and mill around on the surface.

they are not particularly picky and bite readily when fresh in the river. I've caught them on crocs, dick nites and spinners none of which seemed to work better than any other. Flys are very effective. The pink for pinks is a bit of a myth. Orange, blue, wood duck, silver and white all do well as does chartreuse. some colors work better is murky water.

No recreational pink opening until Aug 29th, is that true?

DFO won't give any ST to recreational anglers

“ Due to unexpected delays in the review/approval process for issuing orders brought about to vary the close times for recreational pink salmon fishing in the Fraser River tidal waters and tributary systems, these openings are now unlikely to occur in time for this weekend.”

Who are you?  Are you attending these meetings? Are the meeting open to anyone? 
The funny part is all of these people in the meetings are probably getting paid excessively with the little guys money from buying Salmon tags......

They are open to anyone, gotta sign up tho in the fall or spring

Google sports fishing advisory committee

My experience is most new people will show up to one or two meetings and never show up again.

An understandable boundary, yet a curious one when you used a derogatory variant of another member’s name just two days ago.

oh my, how caustic of me.

immediately before that in Post 46 he wrote:

As for Ralph.....same Ralph...different year.
It is absolutely mind boggling how giddy you get when the sporties get shut down on the Fraser...every time. For the life of me, I cannot understand you. And like Wildmanyeah says....you're explanation and reasoning as to why the sporties aren't fishing is complete unresearched gibberish. If there was ever a time I wanted to take home a Pink in the non tidal Fraser....it is in the next 7 days.

Left out that context did you not? As for my 'gibberish', i never provided an explanation or reasoning why "sporties" aren't fishing.
