Bass Fishing The Lower Salt River on FOOT

[@JohnDoe-qd3xc]

I can't wait for Friday. I'm taking my daughter fishing at the Salt River. I haven't fished since I was a child. Thanks for the salt river tips!

[@buttdreads]

1:44 would you be able to please tell the location? I'm trying to find places to kayak in calm water, I don't fish.

[@jessesardina3260]

The salt my personal favorite as well. It's hard to pass up.

[@XploreAz]

I'm always fishing by PIR (where the Salt and Gila meet) and love it, but I've always wanted to head over to the eastside and fish the Lower Salt. I guess I'm going to have to make the trip over there. Awesome video by the way.

[@FT4Freedom]

The salt is full of grass. It dominates my time. About 80 of retrieve is grass. Great river for top water, much less veggies and more control. Also I recommend waiders if wading the water will give you rash under socks around ankles. Not fun.

Fishing for trout month ago up on the rim I had two hooks do exactly the same thing

[@PlayingWithRain]

Another awesome video! It was fun to watch you explore the Salt River and cool to see you run into a fellow subscriber! 👍

[@christophermartin9404]

I just went to Bass pro shop and bought a nice pair of waders and I'm headed to the goldfield recreation site 👍❤️

[@justin3594]

I was there yesterday and today. Got three bites but no hookups. Man you make it look easy.

[@GOALFishing]

@Justin a lot of that is the editing 😂 I usually am out for about 5-6 hours to get that 10-15 minutes of good footage. I have days like that too.

[@desertflatheadchaser9623]

Or if there’s any flatheads near the phon d Sutton area? That’s where I plan on heading out too

[@GOALFishing]

@Johny Eastwood I’ve never seen any or caught any Flatheads out of the lower salt river. I know they are in saguaro lake and canyon lake but I don’t think there’s much of a population in the river

[@desertflatheadchaser9623]

@@GOALFishing thanks for reply. It says online that there is flatheads in the lower salt but it seems unlikely with how shallow all the water looks in yours and other videos. But I have caught them in the gila river all the way down near buckeye Arizona where it is extremely shallow as well. Think they may have just been heading upstream to shallows spawn cause I caught a few flats a couple nights in a row late may and not a bite since.

[@desertflatheadchaser9623]

If you could give me a good spot for Sonoran suckers and trout that would be much appreciated both would be a new species for me and I catch and release only and bait recommendation?

[@GOALFishing]

@@desertflatheadchaser9623 the numbers of suckers tend to be on the back end of the big pools just before the rapids. There are a few spots by the bridge and down stream from the bridge. That is also where they have stalked the most trout. A lot of people though too. Right by the foxtail administration site is good for suckers. Live worms is what I have caught them on.

[@desertflatheadchaser9623]

@@GOALFishing thank you I looked up foxtrail and foxtrail administration site on google maps and couldn’t find it do you have a specific adress or another waypoint close I can put into GPS?

[@TylerGoesFishing]

The craw did you pretty well that day keep the vids coming GOAL

[@GOALFishing]

@Tyler Goes Fishing thanks man! It is one of my confidence baits. I have caught fish in a lot of places with that one.

[@desertflatheadchaser9623]

Do you know if there’s flatheads in there ?

[@bensansaver1938]

Where was the first portion of the video filmed in the lower salt? Looking to top water and that looks like a pretty good spot with vegetation

[@GOALFishing]

@Ben Sansaver this started at water users recreation site

[@gregstewart8281]

Do you need a pass for a day fishing trip , Rod Med heavy in the river current?

[@GOALFishing]

@Greg Stewart you do if you park at the recreation sites. And yes I was using a medium heavy rod

[@JoseGonzalez-uh4zm]

I like your videos GOAL, where can i get a fishing rod just like the one you r using on the video thanks man

[@GOALFishing]

@Jose Gonzalez, I got that one at sportsman’s warehouse. It’s the Abu Garcia pro max combo

[@JoseGonzalez-uh4zm]

@@GOALFishing thank you buddy,,, i would like to contact you in private it if possible fishing related

[@GOALFishing]

@@JoseGonzalez-uh4zm I have a GOAL Fishing Facebook page if you want to private message me there.

[@lross7253]

what parts of the salt are good to fish ? the bridge area is always packed and there is so much grass you can’t run any crankbaits or jerkbaits

[@GOALFishing]

Iross72 I like to hike a lot of different areas. You have to be willing to hike to different spots. I like a lot of areas between Phon d Sutton and Granite reef. There are some good ones between coons bluff and phon d Sutton as well.

[@To_my_Lou_72]

Another great video!

[@GOALFishing]

Thanks!

[@nicholashinton9465]

Heading to Canyon tomorrow!

[@GOALFishing]

@nicholas hinton let me know how you do. I just had knee surgery so I’m down for a little bit. Hoping to get back up and going in the next couple weeks.

[@nicholashinton9465]

@@GOALFishing Dang Jake I’m sorry to hear that really sorry:( it was really bad weather was horrible super windy not even a bite. But was still really relaxing to sit in the lake. Get well soon!

[@GOALFishing]

@@nicholashinton9465 thanks man! Bummer you didn’t catch anything but you don’t need to catch anything to get out and live.

[@ubasap1832]

What trail was that of the first clip?

[@GOALFishing]

@UbA sAp it was just east of the parking lot at the water users recreation site.

[@jacobtrimble5149]

Man where the hell is that part of the river you where walking in?!?

[@GOALFishing]

@Jacob Trimble that was just down stream from the Goldfield recreation site. It has restrictions for hiking this time of year because of the bald eagles that nest in that area.

[@relentlessboxing0311]

Crap man I really need to get out there more to find the spots...

[@GOALFishing]

@Fastco0311 I do a lot better when I hike and move to find the pockets I like. I rarely stay in one spot for more than 30 minutes. If the fish ain’t biting I ain’t staying. I go find the fish that will.

[@brendonf4167]

Great fishing video, looking forward to more 👍 You got my sub! Just dropped a video!!!

[@thatchlosophy5776]

Catching bass in waiters is a great time
