Epic day Plunking for salmon. Salmon fishing from the bank in Oregon.

Epic morning bite and new comer hooks into a summer chinook. 2 hour window 30 years ago? The excitement of the bite and the fight of this prize fish tell all. The epitome of all salmon in NW. Facial expressions tell all how one should feel when you have a fish on.

This gets the heart rate going just sitting here watching on the computer. Good catches all. Thanks, Hale'.

Epitome of excitement!! Love the comments. Thanks for watching.

[@debbiecraven8776]

Actually your video was so much fun to watch, I had to watch it several times. I found myself trying not to giggle out loud as my husband had gone to bed. So much fun! Your video encouraged me and I hope to catch my first chinook this year. Is hard to find a safe place to fish as I am a middle aged lady and take my mom with me. Some people can be rather mean. Thanks for being so kind to the newbie in your group. You are awesome

Thanks Todd. Love the comments.

[@snagrbuster7343]

Good Video!!! And I'd like to thank the gentleman who gave some instructions for putting the bait sack on the treble hook!! How much weight and what type of Weight do you use???!! And What is the distance between the hook and the hook Please??!!

[@BackFishing]

Thank you. My buddy is very knowledgeable. Weight is dependent always on the current flow. We are using 10 ounces to 12 ounces with wires to grab hold the bottom and is 12 " to 14" from the spreader. Leader from hook is typically around 30" to 36". Good luck.

Good job! I think I ran into you by Tanner creek a couple weeks ago! May I ask where you guys bank fishing?

[@BackFishing]

Maybe you met Eddie. Tanner Creek is a good one to plunk too. We were just down river a bit. GL

[@speedbird1598]

Is plunking the Columbia always this crowded? I plunk other rivers and have plenty of space to myself, but the quality of fish in the Columbia is tempting me

[@BackFishing]

It is always like this unfortunately for bank fishermen everywhere. Also recent car break-ins sadly. GL

[@speedbird1598]

@@BackFishing I know some good spots on some other rivers that I have the river to myself

[@rockytalkndawoods3057]

What lbs test is typically use on these set ups? Love the videos! 💛💚🌲💚💛

[@BackFishing]

25lb to 30lb mono for main line. Size 0 spin n glos. 10 oz bank weights. GL

[@electricbaitspnw224]

Nice fish and and great video. . Btw when does the season end on the upper columbia , and I have heard a lot of people frowning about using braided line but is braided line ok for plunking ? Also does this work without the hoochie

[@BackFishing]

Thank you for watching. Just check with ODFW website. Closed to salmon retention now but come first week of August. I believe fall season starts. Braided is frowned due to how it cuts monofilament easy. You will always certainly be fishing around a crowd of people. Once braided line snags unto the rocks, it's nearly impossible to get your gear back once stuck on braided mainline. Spin n Glo (0) work without hoochies as well. GL

[@electricbaitspnw224]

@@BackFishing Thank you!

[@electricbaitspnw224]

@@BackFishing btw what where those rods the other people where using. Im looking fo a good plunking rod that can cast 8+ oz of weight

[@BackFishing]

@@electricbaitspnw224 Most fisherman have custom built rods by Lamiglas 12' - 13' length. There are Okuma, Penn and Diawa poles that will do the trick too. Fast action, moderate to heavy. GL

[@fbiagent3399]

Would you say trebel hooks are A better option compared to single hooks for plunking?. I will be doing my first every salmon fishing soon and just getting everything figured out

[@BackFishing]

What works for me is fishing with treble hooks but I know it's about 50/50 ratio, treble vs single hook with trailer hook (two 2 hooks) Both being very effective, I think it's a matter of preference. GL

[@deaneng8540]

What size sinker did you use and did you use a 3-way swivel? Btw, nice background music!

[@BackFishing]

Thanks for your comment. Summer time when you don't have to cast but 30 yds max 8-12 oz with wire. I've never tried Fall yet but locals say the water is much lower and current is much stronger. Casting is much farther and needing 12 -16 oz wts. T - spreader (less tangling) is used 95% to ensure your fishing when your Spin n Glo hit the water. 3 - swivel is not as popular but some fishermen do use them. 🤙 🤙 🤙

[@isaiahgoudy3219]

@@BackFishing use railroad spikes those work

[@ox9218]

Can I get away with a medium heavy rod for springer on the Columbia?

[@BackFishing]

Lots of current on the Columbia, so 10oz is recommended for weight.

[@norcalhooks2025]

Damn what River are you at is it in California nice salmon👍❤️

[@BackFishing]

Columbia River in the NW. Empties into the Pacific and flows far north to Idaho and maybe even Canada.

[@mar83wan]

Where is that ? Columbia river ?

[@rickmcdaniel5056]

I thought the Columbia was closed?

[@BackFishing]

Videoed prior July 5th last day. Will reopen in August sometime according to ODFW.

[@liyamegumi]

What pole and reel are you using

[@BackFishing]

I listed it on the details in the description but I would prefer a 12ft and same size casting reel or bigger. Thanks for watching.

[@danijelbrdar]

So tuna balls with the squid skirt. 2 beads. What size spin and glow ?

[@BackFishing]

I believe it was the biggest size 00 or size 0. GL
