Though sometimes you can land a perfect fish, odds are slimmer if you are to jiggle a fish out of nowhere. Be sure you either jiggle through a bait school, particularly a school of minnow or jiggle through a school of salmons. Jig the rod and always follow it with the rod tip as it drops. The element of this activity is to make the bait move more realistic, so to narrate the movement: cast the line and let the jig fall on a tight line. as it sinks and falls, follow it with the rod tip, after a pulse reel up the slack and draw it back and let it fall again. Slack and draw. Slack and draw. A strike can be determined if the line twitches. In that case let it fall back a bit before setting the hook immediately.
Water skimming is another salmon fishing techniques and it is especially effective on flats. Cast out, and without waiting the jig to sink start a deliberate and steady retrieve using the reel or with the rod. This would make the jig to skim the top (or near top) smoothly through the water like a minnow.
