Float Fishing Herring for Coho | My Setup break down

[@johnscheer9350]

Seeing your full set up really helps. Your video on beach fishing with buzz bombs and rotators has been working well for my wife and I we're catching!!! Yeah and thank you PS rotators are working very well

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Glad to hear it’s working well! Thanks for watching and the support!

[@kevinwaggy2656]

I had a Columbia River fishing guide show me how to run a herring behind a anchored down sled in the spring for spring chinook. You use a wobbler float above the bait. This is something guys should keep in mind as a option.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Absolutely great idea! No doubt have to add that to the arsenal when on anchor

Hey there ... I lived down at Tulare Beach in the 80s. That sure looks like 'around the point' looking south-ish towards Spee Be Dah / Tulalip Shores. Care to comment?

[@gondolarides5178]

You ever use herring helmets with this setup to keep the bait in better or you find the hook and button setup sufficient? Thanks!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

That’s a great question! Never thought to try a helmet honestly. But bet it would work great especially the clear uv one

[@jeffhumenik]

I like this method but what do you do about seals taking your bait and hooking up?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I’ve only run into that one time myself and I just play it as a wash if it does. When seals are around the fish are around. I just fish it and see. Thanks for watching and the support

[@Graceclaw]

Won't the herring weigh down your bobber if you use a bobber-weight? Also, what do you do in areas that only allow one single hook?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Not if you have the proper float size. I make sure to test them and see how they are floating. I would need to try a couple ideas I have not tried that

[@rwall4712]

Tips on rod and line? Cant get a very good cast with my 9'9" lami x11, what size braid and bobber size and weight would you use?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

What I have found for better casting on the float setups is balance to the float/weight and rigging. I run 40-60lb braid most of the time for best floating capacity but off the beaches having a high density float with a 1oz weight seems to cut through the air better and frankly I only cast 30’-50’ off the shore most times

[@BilboSandbaggins]

What depth do you prefer or does it depend on day and beach?

[@gino55yo]

Hello, for a float of 15g or 20g I take the same weight in lead? Thank you 🙂

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Depending on the weight of the bait being used as well. As a good idea I always use a little lighter and match how the bait rides in the water to double check proper set depth

[@gino55yo]

thank you for the feedback, I will follow your valuable advice.

[@ryanclark1841]

What are you brining your herring with? I want to try this next year. Going to pick a velocity rod or two up at the upcoming sportsmans show.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Typically just use Pautzke fire brine for the herring

[@kmop206]

Can you use the same method set up in MA9/10/11 from piers, shore but live Herring ? Thanks

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

@@kmop206 you absolutely can! I have a video I did with live herring few years back as well off the shore. Super fun way to do it and coho slam them

[@kmop206]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors thank you and always appreciate your knowledge and lightning replys back!

[@motionsickness4088]

Would you fish that for chinook as well?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Absolutely! Works great for chinook under the right conditions and beaches with a deeper drop off

[@234kwon]

could you give some tips on how new anglers could find fishing spots for salmon? i know spots are regarded secrets but how does one go about finding places themselves?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I can definitely do a video for that sure! Thanks for watching and the support

[@234kwon]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors thank you for the awesome content. im hoping to use everything i learned from you to catch my very first salmon ever.

[@anothersomebody8195]

That beach looked pretty full in the short clip, is this getting more popular in seattle?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! I have seen more using this technique yes, but I tend to see more people fishing in general not just Seattle

[@anothersomebody8195]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors That is true. The dreaded fishbrain app is full of new young anglers posting their spots and catches

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

That and social media fandom. Definitely has changed how one report flocks all the anglers

[@anothersomebody8195]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors You know were all watching for our chance to get on the new boat with you :-D

[@speedbird1598]

@@anothersomebody8195 For what it's worth I see lot's of complaining about younger anglers but the folks I always see poaching, littering, or behaving violently or aggressively towards other anglers always tend to be middle aged.
