Do you guys like this Animated style video MORE or LESS compared to long form video with more fishing?

[@alaskalife907]

You will lose your mind trying to make other people happy. Let your stuff come from within, it's good stuff guys! You make me wish I had help with what I'm trying to create. It's just me out there 90% of the time so it's hard to get awesome stuff put together, so keep on keeping on. This was great!

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Thanks for the encouragement! I agree with you about how difficult creating can be and the outcome of all the hours of work sometimes just doesn't pay off. Im leaning more towards creating what I like the most and let the chips fall where they may.. I really appreciate your feedback and hope to see you out there on the water someday.

[@alaskalife907]

@alaskasmallcraftadventures if you're ever at Bird Creek or even less appealing than your location, Ship Creek, the chances are good 😆 I've never fished the Kenai or anything, really, South of Bird Creek. I tried in Homer over a two day period, in the lagoon but a seal ruined it the entire time🤷‍♀️ So I'll definitely be a viewer of your stuff, it's gorgeous out there! Tightlines fish heads🎣

[@matthewatilano9118]

like them both....this one was unique and had me laughing.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Thanks!

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Awesome! 😂

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

like chicken soup, this vid is good for the soul🤪

[@BIGGSIPP01]

Another stellar video!! Can you provide the product description for that fish scaler at 3:34? Or was it homemade? Thanks most awesomely!

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Thank you, this was a fun one. The scaler I use is a heavy duty wire brush. It has a full handle that wraps your hand. Any stiff wire brush does the trick and instantly removes fish slime, scales, sea lice and other undesirables. This brush has a composite body and last long than wood. Super tough and going on 5 seasons now. The wires are starting to rust out so I’m looking for a new one. Found this one at trustworthy hardware store in Soldotna.

[@serafimfilms2412]

Very entertaining!😂

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

I get cracked up when I too! It's funny how some of these videos turn out. I never really know exactly what to expect when I make them. This is a fun one for sure!

[@rustybean5852]

Be there in 2 Saturdays

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Caught some fatty silvers this morning. Had to fish multiple spots to get ‘em but we did.

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Agree with just the small bead....hook gets down where it needs to be faster then with a fly, yarn, etc.... Sitting here at work wishing I was on the Kenai! Congrats on the nice mess of fish.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

You got it! The water is rising and moving way fast now. That bead will slice through it like you want this time of year. Caught 5 Dolly Varden and 2 trout on that rig yesterday. The red hook draws them in too I think. I love it when people say they’re watching fishing shows at work… cracks me up! I know the feeling!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures ha, ya it's funny....i work in an ops center so when there are luls in activity I can get a video in.

[@alaskalife907]

Keep the humor going, this is one of the best I've watched🎉

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Awesome! I think it's more fun when it's fun too! I like this style the best too and will plan to go for more an entertaining presentation next time as well...

[@josephkivett3526]

i was at swiftwater a few times last week! i tried to keep my eyes peeled for you lol :D

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

I was there too! We probably passed like ships in the night.. hold your fish up for me if you recognize us! 😃

[@paulcardone481]

Epic video, your editing is amazing.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Ha!! Polar Bear Paul! This sure was a sweet one, your arrival to the island was stellar and then catching a fish just iced it off! Thanks man✌️😎🎣

[@paulcardone481]

I’d like to return your fishing pole, but I don’t know how to get in touch with you.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Oh nice! My email is in the about section or you can find more contact info at Alaska1strealty.com

[@UintaMountainMan]

I’ll be up for the first 2 weeks of September and your videos keep getting me more and more jacked bro 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Yea man! Silvers hot and heavy! Gotta wake up early though when it’s dark and chilly to get ‘em! I’m stoked for you!😎

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

You got it! 😎

[@magicworldbyjorg]

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….

[@stevedyer5902]

I am not from Alaska……What is the daily bag limit? Look like you have 18 fish for two men at 2:57 ?

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

With the proper paperwork an Alaska resident can catch their limit plus proxy fish for another eligible resident. This means that one fisherman can get two limits. If the limit is 6 per day and the fisherman has a proxy license, then they can catch 12 fish. Two fishermen, both with proxy licenses, can catch 4 limits. If the limit is 6 then they can catch 24 per day legally.

[@stevedyer5902]

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures thanks!

[@stevet8121]

Yes, this is your best video to date! It took a ton of editing, but you nailed it! You captured the joy, excitement, and the thrills! And the crowd roars! Kudos to the Polar Bear for going the extra mile.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Nice! The feedback helps improve the content. Good or Bad, I need to know what the audience is after! Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

[@Alaskahuntr]

Enjoyed the video! When the Salmon are in, it is time to have fun with it! We caught so many Salmon this year, it was epic! The weather was amazing. Back to work now, so enjoy re-living the experience through your videos!

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Good feedback! Im trying different styles of videos to see what the audience likes the most. This style is fully animated and way more fun for me! Thanks for letting me know. Timing is everything and you're right about it being an EPIC season! Work sure does get in the way of fishing but at least we have KZbin when we can't make it out on the water😃

[@damienbell3155]

That was awesome u didn’t even know the polar bear was swimming across lol,lol. This going to be the first yr not making it to Kenai. I don’t even know if I’ll head to my secret spot in 2 weeks. Lol. Gotta deal with a lot of projects but I’ll pray for next season.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

That guy just came out of nowhere! Hilarious having the fishing so good that people want to swim to the spot. It’s sad to hear you won’t be casting in the kenai but you know we’ll hold it down for ya. I know all about those projects needing attention, especially this time of year. I hate saying it but it’s already getting darker and colder and everything is staying wet…!

[@DonCowles-k1x]

Been on the Kenai with guides several times this past week . The Silver fishing can only be described as SLOW.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Vinny and I loaded up on silvers 3 days ago but we spent hours tracking them down with a boat. Early morning days with overcast skies and light rain turns the bite on!

[@thegoats20]

Never thought of using a bead while flipping for silvers as well.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Oh definitely do, works wonders.

[@Jonk907]

mind showing us your filet care? sharpening and maintaining? muchos gracias!

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

For sure, check out my next vid and I’ll include a fillet scene. I’m working on it now..

[@timothyburr8902]

Love that videos keep getting better! Keep up the good work boys

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Will do! Having a ball over here making these things.. ✌️

[@jcs5520]

Great video glad you guys are still slaying them. Heading down next week again with my son.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

We've been having lots of luck out on the water. The fish move with the tides so plan to be patient and wait till they push through!

[@iZeStudio]

Haha nice vid! Gonna be up there in two weeks- I heard it'll be a bit late for silvers but any recommendations for what/where to fish in the Kenai mid September?

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

The Kenai Chamber of Commerce puts on a Silver Salmon Derby Sept 12-17 kenaisilversalmonderby.com There should still be plenty of fish in the river right after that. Salmon roe, spinning lures and flossing beads all work to catch silvers. We will be fishing the River Center, Swiftwater and Rotary areas looking for salmon. Timing is everything. The fish fill up the river with the incoming tide and push up river through all of these areas. The early morning bite is usually the best. Were getting lots of rain and wind now and losing our daylight fast! Good luck out there on the water!

[@iZeStudio]

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures Sweet thanks for the tips, I appreciate it! Looking forward to checking out those spots.

[@andrewcastagno1065]

For the bead setup for the silvers how are you fishing it in the river? Are you still flipping and trying to either hook reds and silvers or are you fishing it different since silvers intentionally hit it.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

The bead is for the flossing technique. There’s no difference in the way I fish for silvers and reds. However, if you’re fishing early morning, then expect silvers and trout to attack and feed. I’ll be using salmon roe and casting spinners soon. We’ve already seen several silvers at Swiftwater so they’re coming in!

[@cjbotkin1]

Great video!!! What is that song "Never gonna stop"???

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Yea man!! That songs a catchy one, it’s called “Head Zap” by Tiger Gang. Glad you enjoyed 😎✌️

[@leecollins8368]

How are the red stacking up at Bings landing is it pretty loaded there now at bings landing?

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

It’s hit or miss on anything chrome coming through at this point. I went one day and caught nothing and then two days later got a limit. Always worth a try though. More silvers in there now than chrome sockeye.

[@benjeanettebooth1800]

Bare red hooks and salmon egg colored beads are our standard set up for reds and silvers.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Oh for sure! the absolute "Go to" this time of year! I just put on some fresh 20lb mono to help wrangle in these beasts!

[@LaurieandTodd]

We live in Soldotna too....Do you take people out fishing? My hubby would love to go...

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Awesome! I leave the guiding to the pros, we’re just not quite setup for it yet. But maybe soon! Thanks for checking though..

[@rustybean5852]

Where are the coho

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Ive caught coho at Swiftwater, Kenai River Center and Rotary in the last two weeks and at a couple secret boat spots above that. No bait allowed yet so Ive been flossing. We caught 6 coho and 1 chrome sockeye just a couple days ago. Having some big rain right now, Im anticipating the bite to turn on!

[@sg-mx4ii]

is your freezer filled up yet with red fillets? 😃

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Oh you bet! My freezer is always filled up. The biggest thing that I'm concerned with is that everyone in my family grocery shops in it! Im pretty much the only fisherman we got!

[@TicklerDude]

Why do you always slap me in the face with a fish tail fin?

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Just making sure you’re awake while you’re watching the show! 😂
