First Time Plunking for Salmon. Easy Setup 1, 2, 3 and bonus catching shad.

I had known about the term "Plunking" for years but had never done it. I love throwing spinners and jigging baits for fishing but plunking is a methodical way of fishing which I don't gravitate to. Is it worth with? Come and join me on this beautiful setting and see for yourself.

[@ctgilcrest]

[@Ahda108]

Another Awesome adventure 😎 ✨

[@BackFishing]

Thanks Deion.

[@danhendry7496]

"Check the drag tho." You said it as I was thinking it.

[@joselopezgarcia528]

Wow!! Thanks to you and Donald for sharing this knowledge. I knew I was doing something wrong. Lol....

[@BackFishing]

Glad the content helped. Appreciate the comment.

[@aaronwhitefoot]

Use Tuna steak. It's a lot easier then that tuna in a can.

[@dumbluck6180]

Dang it! Somehow I missed this season. I'm wondering if there's a way to get in touch to show you another way to rig.

[@BackFishing]

Appreciate it. Please explain, I'd be curious to know. I know the cheapest is with 3 way swivel and railroad spikes. LOL

[@dumbluck6180]

@@BackFishing About 12 years ago I was fishing for salmon below Bonneville and met a couple of 80 year old brothers. They showed me a way to make a spreader that lets the RR spike slip off if you get hung up , but also keeps your leader away from the RR spike dropper line. It's easy to make but kinda hard to explain how to use it. I should probably make a video. If I can figure out how to send you a private message, maybe we could meet up and I'll show you. I'm currently without a way to film hands-free to demonstrate.

[@Hapinopino]

Can you tell me if you saw anyone doing the same thing on the Washington side? I hold a WA fishing license. Never done plunking for Salmon before. Starting buying my gear specifically for this style and wanna be geared up and ready for the 2022 season. I live about a 3hr drive away from the Columbia and would love to do this. I dont know when to come down etc etc. Hopefully you can help me out. Thank you in advance...Aloha & Mahalo

[@BackFishing]

Thanks for watching. You can go during Shad season on the Washington side. "Oaktree" 12 ft bait casting setup. You should be ready to go.

[@doblevaso3561]

Not sure if your information yet but the spring run for salmon just started for the lower Columbia, great day to go plunking after a few days of rain we finally caught a sunny day

[@danbolton3180]

​@@BackFishing be careful plunking the Oaktree. A lot of boats sit on anchor there or used to.

[@PhillipSiddiq]

Dude, that thumbnail...🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BackFishing]

Andy Griffith Show. LOL

[@hannahelora679]

How tight or loose should the drag be when ur just waiting for the fish to bite the hook

[@BackFishing]

Just enough were the fish does not snap your line but tight enough so when you go to set the hook the drag stays put. Hope that answers your question.

[@garciajr4413]

Nice Video, If u don't mind? where in Columbia is this?

[@BackFishing]

Below Bonneville Dam both Oregon and WA. Just google map for bank access. GL

[@mukundabasnet6846]

Be careful today this parking area break my car when i went in fishing. they took my car parts.

[@BackFishing]

Thanks for heads up. 🤙🏼

[@jameslee-gq2eo]

Nice video Oregon side ?

[@BackFishing]

Yes. Oregon side. Mahalos for watching! 🤙 🤙 🤙

Fish and More. I like it. Bien venidos 🤙🏽

[@outdoorlifewithv4510]

That was awesome! Where is the place called ? Do you have the address ?

[@BackFishing]

Hey V, posting the place publicly would create a lot of issues for many. Hope you understand. Thanks.

[@outdoorlifewithv4510]

@@BackFishing got ya. Will talk to you when we meet at Willamette river

[@danbolton3180]

Blood beach.

[@ctgilcrest]

Your buddy's a tweek. lol

[@BackFishing]

LOL. Like they say, "you can't judge a book by it's cover." The man knows his fishing. Tight lines out there.

[@jessecrow74]

So plunk fishing is just bait fishing. Call it what it is. Your in America

[@Anonymous...............]

throw your tag end cutoffs in your bag man! tired of seeing those all over the banks.

[@BackFishing]

We pick up more line left behind from others than just the tags. Yards and yards. Go figure.

[@jessecrow74]

What the heck is plunking

[@BackFishing]

Spin n Glo setup 🤫

[@mrmickel4341]

Did you really walk that far from your rod to shad fish? Smh

[@BackFishing]

Got bored so I reeled my rod in and fished for shad.

[@tomas9666]

Pick up your tag ends. Dirty fisherman smh.

[@BackFishing]

I've fished with Don a few times and we do our part to pick up 100 yds of loose line and garbage on the river bank. This guy is a good fisherman and does his share of cleaning up. Tag ends were your concern during the tutorial? Really? ✌✌

[@briangrendahl4635]

Dude is a tweaker for sure

[@jessecrow74]

Wont support your channel if you do even know how to say how you are fishing
