I have an uncle that lives right in sterling so we were able to fish alot of the near by rivers.. cant wait to head back up around the same time in 2025!!

Hey Guy's, Great To See You Fella's Back Home, It Kills Me They Start At Midnight!! LOL These Are Great Videos, But The Vast Majority Of Us Don't Have The Opportunity's That You Have.

The wild fish slaymen caught looked like a steelhead

[@Straycat733]

Kodiak had the sockeyes come in first in April May, then the humppies, June July then dog and silvers in august Sept October. The rivers in Kodiak were too short for King Salmon except one river the Karluk which was on the other side of the island along with brown bears.

[@markmailander3880]

The Karluk is not the only river with King salmon on Kodiak island.

[@Straycat733]

@@markmailander3880 what other river has kings? When I was there 1960 to 1962 there was the Buscan river, The American river, the Kalsin river. Now mind you after the great earthquake of 64 Kodiak island uplifted some feet on one end and sank feet on the other plus a tidal wave so that land features probably changed and aren’t the same now as back the.

[@Straycat733]

Then

[@hookedonmichigan]

you should buy a centerpin combo for the float fishing would love a vid on that, for kings i use a 5.5 inch raven matrix reel and a lamiglass redline heaver action rod with 15lb braid mainline

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

I have tried it before! I need more practice lol

[@tylerstroup4923]

I just cannot understand why people insist on ruining a Salmon by seasoning it to death. Do you guys not like the taste of Salmon. Please, one time cook it with a small amount of pepper and some fresh lemaon, and grill it. 😎😎😎🎣🎣

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Bet

[@allusiv]

that’s all it needs some lemon pepper and she’s good to go. that’s the only way i cook salmon or trout

[@caidenkrout230]

If you guys wanna increase your hook up ratio with beads less of a hook set and more reeling will drastically help you hook more fish and land more fish! Hope this helps

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Ong

[@pnwriverfisher]

Those beads aren’t always going to produce. Find some new sizes and colors and switch things up. Fishing a river here in WA yesterday I cycled through a few colors before even getting a bite (fishing one hole they were sitting in) and finally a purple bead produced 6 kings, 2 over 20 pounds. Size and color matters. Other things that help w/float fishing: -High viz braid -pegging your bead 6 inches up from the hook instead of just a couple. -Tie your hooks on your leaders with egg loop knots

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

For sure !
