Fishing Crankbaits for River King Salmon

Russ Maddin and I fish for kings in Northern Michigan using crankbaits and spinners. We near the end of the season for what I like to do when salmon start entering the rivers as many of the fish are now moving to spawning areas.

Looking forward to the pre spawn trout stuff. It’s been a grind with the hot weather

I keep waiting for a cloudy day to film, turns out I guide those days so I'm gonna have to make the most out of a sunny day.

@@alexlafkasfly-fishing9088 My dad and I got out to float this weekend and squeaked out one nice fish in the blazing sun but man it was brutal. Spirits were not high in the boat to say the least lol

"It's a hook-proof net, so it'll be fine..." Yup. Have the same net. Some days it feels like that thing is made of balled up fishing line and magnets.... lol
