Grunts---
Roosterfish---I heard the Hopkins lure is good.
Sierra---
Triggerfish---
Needle fish--- lures
Yellows---Same as bass
I have caught bass, barracuda, bonito, yellowtail and black skipjack on Salas 6X jr. in scrambled egg color.

Perhaps anglers who have been there, would not mind sharing their experience.

Thanks.
I'm not trying to be a smart arse but check the archives for fish reports from Gonzaga. There are plenty which report on the various jigs/lures that worked at that time.
The short version is (from what I've read/remember), pretty much anything bright and shiny. That being said also bring the wire to save your stuff. I've read too many reports of lost jigs/lures due to the sharp teeth of the Sierra's.
The one constant I've read about (I'm sure Bob and everyone else that has been there and posted a report can verify) is Crocodiles. I've been stocking up on the 1oz'ers ever since. I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins Jigs are also another effective Jig.
