Casting GLOW SPOONS AT NIGHT for King Salmon! (Pier Fishing on Lake Michigan)

Casting glow spoons at night for King Salmon off the pier! This time of year can be great for pier fishing as salmon start migrating back to their native rivers as fall winds begin cooling off the water on Lake Michigan.

More pier fishing?? Need a little rain yet for these fish to really jet in our rivers but open water is popping! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Please more pier vids 🔥🔥

Nothing compares to the open water king fight lol Makes me wonder sometimes why I even pin for em

I’ve fished piers all my life on Lake Michigan… most boats will give you room if you’re fighting a fish… throwing in front of a boat… that’s on you man

[@Chiefz]

Being on the phone for the second one probably didn't help lol. Happens I guess, thought I'd have enough time to my line sink more

[@MIgardener]

Love more pier videos

[@Chiefz]

Much love! Thanks man

[@bryanl4877]

More pier vids please. Love seeing those glow spoons flying out in the dark as you cast.

[@Chiefz]

It was satisfying to watch while I edited lol

[@JamesThatcher_jtnwdc]

You've got a friend in Fraser. Love those stars, too--pretty night. I have been known to let out line to fill up as much of a propeller as possible...what a night!

[@Chiefz]

Lol that’s evil 🤣 Fraser is indeed a friend. We will be steelhead fishing later this year!

[@scottcolquitt2073]

Pier king fishing on its way...love the video..keepem' coming this fall!

[@ps9417]

fished the pier at Manistee and caught several. The boaters had the whole inlet and ran right down the pier, once when I had a fish on. A local shined a light in their eyes and told them to go around. LIke the shot of the big dipper in 11:06 great video. Thanks for posting. Heading up in couple of weeks to river fish.

[@philseelie5717]

Great overall video. But to be fair you’re fishing in a navigation channel with heavy boat traffic. I’d reel my rig in each time one comes by. There’s nothing good about fishing line in a prop

[@Chiefz]

You have a point. This place is pretty notorious for wreckless boating in general, just an overall bad situation. I was either faced to burn my line in which probably wouldn't have made it or roll the dice and hope my line sank in time. Just the nature of the beast. Thanks for watching man

[@stripermanly]

Playing the wind and water temps is the key.

[@Chiefz]

Absolutely

[@williamhalleck5655]

Love what you're doing! Plus, you are fishing at all my spots. I fish here in michigan. These pier fishing videos are 🔥... more please!

[@chafin41]

Awesome video, was nice to meet you out there, glad you got into some king action!

[@Chiefz]

Likewise my friend!! Thanks for showing some love. Hope you have a good salmon season

[@michaeljake9607]

Getting your line cut off by a boat is your fault. How do you not reel in when you see the boat coming?

[@Chiefz]

No chance I was burning that second break off in time

[@nicholaslafleur9788]

Yeah you can definitely see the boats coming lol

[@closetgrower]

Ya, I guess common sense and being a decent person went out the window. One fishes from shore and one fishes the whole lake. Stfu

[@KingKongbabe]

The boats can go around . They have the whole lake

[@michaelkim2463]

Would love seeing more pier vids. Also, what’s the benefit of using straight 10lb mono? For stretch?

[@Chiefz]

Line capacity mostly. The stretch is nice too. These aren't really fish you want to button your drag down on right away like the river. Let them run with moderatre drag and keep consistent tension until they slow down/stop. Thanks for watching👊

[@skinny.chicken]

sorry bout the top half your rod my guy, but the "lines getn cut" by them boats is on you. ive learned not to cast by a boat and i wont loose my tackle. lol

[@Chiefz]

Rolled the dice thinking I’d be fine letting my gear sink but that clearly wasn’t the case. It happens lol!

[@skinny.chicken]

right. i deal with boats too but majority of the time its the guy across the river or up river driftn too long snagn ya.. lol

[@swissmochaj]

Man I have to get back to Michigan and do this. I just don't know when to come back. Hard to plan flights months in advance so I don't have to spend a crap ton of $$$ on short notice flights.

[@Chiefz]

Yeah I hear ya.. It’s harder to guess these lake flips than knowing when they will hit the river. If you come in September there’s always going to be some fish around.

[@gdmofo]

You guys have a better salmon fishery than what we have on the Pacific coast been decimated mismanagement Washington State fishing game many other factors it's a crying shame

[@Chiefz]

I hear this too often. I’m sorry man that really sucks. It’s ok, at least people call your salmon and steelhead real compared to ours 🤣

[@jaybee3204]

It's been good last couple years, was down for a while. Alewife populations were super low and dnr nearly stopped stocking. Runs sucked for a few years. Then alwife population rebounded, started getting some big fish. Now stocking is back up, numbers are up and there are some monsters! Life is good!

[@connorfitzgerald2962]

Yup, all of our Kings are tule strain here on the Great Lakes

[@charlescook94]

@@Chiefz they still fight like a upriver columbia bright but something about an up river columbia man they are just different. Way less spots and way more silver some times the small ones get confused with the coho. Should come out here and give it a try, The fall run just started and the bouy 10 area shuts down this weekend and the upper portions of the river are going to open up

[@zedimmer4336]

Pier fishing can be fun until it becomes shoulder to shoulder. A lot of the Lake Ontario people fish egg sacks at night, some forget to keep the bail open... I'd hear scrape, scrape, and splash! Is the UV light brighter than a camera flash for charging the glow on the spoons?

[@Chiefz]

The UV light is just a quicker option. The camera flash thing still works well but I’d switch if I were you

[@markpiekaczpiekacz912]

Are you in Ludington? I been out in a boat in them parts of lake Michigan fishing at 180 feet to 300. I had someone steal one of my rods river fishing at night at the Tippy dam.

[@ventureoutdoorswithkirk]

So frustrating, those boats don't care one bit. The last time I fished the Piers, same thing, cut off twice.

[@Chiefz]

Nature of the beast man. Sucks, but it happens haha

Gotta give em a heads up or reel in. They're nice enough to move if you yell out.

which pier is this? I don’t recognize it and it’s not in the description.

[@emiliomagana9698]

Any tips on fishing spoons for kings been going for 3 weeks now and haven’t gotten a single bite

[@Chiefz]

Let your spoon sink to bottom and retrieve slow.. green glow seems to get most kings

[@farrell_tyler89]

You cast in front of boats you see coming for HUNDREDS of yards and leave your line out instead of trying to avoid the contact???? Then cry like a B- get real dude. Karma was losing that rod 😂😂😂

Got lazy, thought it might’ve sank in time. Happens I guess - oops. Thanks for watching

Boaters have the whole lake and can go around

[@surajbaskaran6746]

Hi, what's the best way to use the ko wobbler? I feel like im not fishing it correctly at times

[@Chiefz]

I like to retrieve as slow as possible, but just enough to feel the spoon through my rod tip

[@nastynatenate6629]

hate to bug you again but do beads work just as good as eggs early in the season?

They can! I usually run bait first then start playing with other stuff if that isn’t going for me

Same issue at lake McConaughy with the idiot boaters.

[@SpoonierMilk]

Maybe don't cast right before a boat drives by? A little common sense and awareness goes a long way bud

[@Chiefz]

Lol. Tell that to the other guy who lost their spoon. Didn’t realize how fast they were coming in. Thought my line would’ve had enough time to sink. It happens

[@Tammy-es3ob]

With heavy boat traffic, you'd never get a cast out. Where I fish, the boaters are great, they steer clear of the shore fishing as much as possible.

[@freetimeoffshore3157]

Sorry but you are fishing a navigation channel. As a boat owner ,I can tell you it's hard enough coming in at night, it's red on your right returning, you are on the bad side for fishing. Maybe time your casts better.

[@Chiefz]

Yeah I can definitely understand that. You have a point on returning boats that I didn’t think of. Lesson learned! Not the end of the world, just unfortunate when it happened haha. Thanks for watching
