[@computer25100]

Thanks for taking time to do this video. This will help me in my fishing season.

[@Primal_Dad_Truther]

You guys kick ass. Appreciate you taking the time to teach. 👌

[@erictorrey8038]

thanks for the step by step video very helpful.

[@ChefRickB]

Great video Thank you very much very helpful, I'm new to this NW fishing.

[@nookiehookers8859]

Thanks for checking out the videos Good luck out there

[@kirk8946]

Super informative video. Thanks for making this, man

[@240SSONLY]

Like a Boss... One man show, solid...

[@2012prormk]

Thanks, your video was helpful and I gave you a " THUMBS UP." I have watched all of your videos and your are doing a great job. I have fished up there a few times and have done well with the help of your videos. One thing I would like to see is a video that showed me more of the areas you are fishing, the time of season, best boat ramp for the area your fishing and any other helpful hints. I travel over 600 mile to fish there so all the info I get helps. I have gone out with a guide and that also helped. THANKS AGAIN for your videos.

[@briantaylor2317]

Hey man I just bought my first boat (17ft smoker craft osprey) and I can't wait to try what you just thought me. (Vancouver Wa area) Thanks man! I'll update with how I do.. Thanks again

[@ewustu1398]

Selph Landing has some good spots. Like these local videos man, keep it up.

[@nwoutdoortv8351]

Great info,thanks.

[@tmtallman]

thanks for the show and tell. rather than fish alone you should get in touch. i just live in richland.

[@ThePlanbfan11]

Thank you for show that setting

[@Noidea242]

I’m from Ontario Canada. I was wondering why you don’t use down riggers. It’s a cleaner setup and no weight to fight

[@nookiehookers8859]

scott sommerville I tried down riggers but just never really liked them yes no weight to fight but I also try to keep my gear right on the bottom in a lot of up and down area! I seen too many people get the down rigger ball stuck and have a hard time getting it to release

[@nookiehookers8859]

thanks for checking out the videos

[@nookiehookers8859]

could be a number of things causing that line tangle. I use a lot of bead chains and the lengths I have mentioned seem to work very well for me. the only time I get line tangle is when there is a lot of weeds

[@rocketryan590]

If you let your line out to fast is the cause of a lot of tangles

[@smokinhic]

lol nicely done all the way around. From set up to netting made it look easy. wink

[@GER0E]

great video man! At the end, you wrote "use different colors on sunny days compared to cloudy days". Can you give some basic guidelines on that? What colors are best in sunny vs cloudy?

[@nookiehookers8859]

So I like to use darker colors on darker days but super bright colors on bright sunny days, also if the water is super clear I like to use bright colors. I really like that short leader setup also. Any other ?s shoot them my way! Use different colors until you find what they like.

[@fabieber]

Hi Travis. Great camera work and better fishing prowess.Do you do any guiding in the Crow Butte/Boardman area?

[@ericsprado4631]

Does the line go TRHOUGH the rubber band????

[@williamneylon823]

What size rod should I be using?

[@nookiehookers8859]

William Neylon I recommend a 10’6” either the okuma guide series or a lamiglas xcc kwik.

[@dennispowell236]

Hi Travis Great video. What brand of rod holders do you use? Do you have extensions added for more height? Was wondering if extra height helps accessing rods or? Thanks Dennis

[@nookiehookers8859]

dennis powell hey Dennis I use the Scotty brand I like the orcas quick release. When I sold my old boat everything went with it. I do use rod extensions to get them out and away from people bumping into them also easier to grab when they are a little higher up! Great question

[@Shokenryu]

Only single hooks aloud? Can I use a double snail setup?

[@nookiehookers8859]

Shokenryu you can run a double hook setup some of my setups are a treble hook on the very end.

[@gtownzen]

It looks like you're not using a downrigger. Cna you explain why? Ok to do tis method in the ocean?

[@nanddm98]

How do you know how deep your dropper is sitting? As your trolling and the depth changes what do you do?

[@nookiehookers8859]

line counter if you hit the bottom at 100 ft bring it up 5ft on the counter or 10 or 15 ft i offset my setups to different depths to locate fish

[@tronnspace9052]

I throw brads cut plugs from bank. I catch 1 once in a great while witch is fine for me. If I remove the 30lb stiff leader and use 20lb leader will it work better ?

[@nookiehookers8859]

Tronn Space I'm not sure about it working better with less stuff leader! Have you tried spin and glow with eggs or prawn for salmon off the bank I have never heard anyone usin a brass off the bank

[@bencle4348]

Great video. Very Helpful. What reel do you use? Ive been looking for a left handed retrieve with a line counter like you have one one (maybe both) rod. Thanks for the info!

[@nookiehookers8859]

Ben Cle I am using the okuma cold water low pros in left hand retrieve by far best rest I have fished with for salmon! Glad you enjoyed the video any more questions let me know

[@bencle4348]

Nookie Hookers Fishing thanks man. I'm sure I'll have more once the springers kick off

[@mariom3639]

Nice! How fast you trolling?

[@nookiehookers8859]

Mario Moreno dosnt matter how fast your trolling get that rod to pump about 1 time every second

[@mariom3639]

Thanks for your reply, I just recently started trolling and in doing research I’ve heard different speeds for different lures? I’ve caught a ton of salmon by jigging but I surely appreciate your input, keep up with the great advice and videos

[@mariaroman9933]

just wanted to say thanks for the videos real helpful for that I'm just getting into salmon fishing in tri cities..quick question how deep are you fishing around the pasco area plan on going out this weekrnd?

[@nookiehookers8859]

Hey bro your welcome fishing is awesome and I like to show people how to do it especially when you live on the reach where salmon fishing can be unbelievable! You really need to try different depths. I was running rods at 35 40 and 45 ft the even deeper! You need to find the fish on a good fish finder! I'm running the humminbird 958 hddi combo and I can mark fish very easily! Sometimes they are right on the bottom but be careful cause you can loose gear in rocky areas! Good luck and tight lines out there!

[@mariaroman9933]

+Nookie Hookers Fishing forsure man..just bought this little 13ft aluminum boat with a 9.9 never been but out but I just got all this gear and a cheaper fish finder..lol we'll see how it goes

[@nookiehookers8859]

+rafael roman hey bro if it floats it fishes lol! I started out the same way and I still don't have some fancy new boat! A 1996 Starcraft can't miss my boat says nookie hookers on the side! Hit Bateman island just follow a lot of the other boats you will get into them

[@mariaroman9933]

+Nookie Hookers Fishing forsure bro..thanks you'll be seeing me out there lol n keeps those videos coming!

[@stevenvue1384]

how would you recommend fishing the mouth of the Yakima right now.

[@thatdamguy00]

Great video man, what stretch of river is that? Also were you using your kicker to move you up river and your Minnkota to steer and speed you up or down?

[@nookiehookers8859]

This is what we call the 300 area it's just up from selph landing or at the north end of Richland where Hanford site starts. And yes I use the kicker for motion and I use my minnkota for steering. I do the same thing back trolling eggs at ring old minnkota I always use for steering.

[@thatdamguy00]

Great thinking, I am going to try that neat trick this weekend. Thanks for the reply and tight lines.

[@Fishing85]

Do you want the weight bouncing off the bottom or once the weight touches bottom real up a couple feet? Thanks

[@nookiehookers8859]

eric jensen hit bottom bring it up a couple feet Do not drag it you will loose all your gear

[@Fishing85]

Nookie Hookers thanks this setup is really becoming popular in the California delta. I normally use quick fish but with all the guides switching to the cut plug and having good success I want to try it.

[@ThePlanbfan11]

Cool vid

[@uhuvv]

How's fishing going for you this year

[@mattaguilar7553]

we are using the same rig setup that you just made and we went salmon fishing three times once at ringold and twice the mouth of Yakima and fished all day long and not a single or anything so what is it that Chinook salmon aren't biting

[@nookiehookers8859]

Same for us fishing has been slow but there is a lot more fish showing up also the water flow has a lot to deal with the bite also no flow and the bite is off! I have heard of people picking fish up at Bateman island

[@nanddm98]

Is the remote on your neck for the trolling motor? What setup is that?

[@nookiehookers8859]

It's the Minn Kota power drive v2 with auto pilot And yes the remit on my beck is to control it it has a ton of really cool features such as anchor and record a troll

[@nanddm98]

Nice. I have a Motorguide with foot controls but didn't figure it would be strong enough for the river.  Will it push you upriver also? I have a 16.5 ft Lowe with the R3 45.

[@nookiehookers8859]

+NMinzghor just barely push me up not very good though when there is a lot of water spilling

[@NotealbeGaming]

On the snake do you go to the dam or do you stay lower

[@nookiehookers8859]

i usually fish up towards the dam

[@Kphillip605]

Do you ever have issues with line twist when using the agitator flasher? I seem to get line twist a lot. My cannon ball, flasher and superbait will end up all tangled up. Any suggestions. When I use the big bus flashers, I do not end up with line twist.

[@brandonkorpi9653]

cut your stock swivels off you Pro-Chips and use the big duolocks with a 6 bead chain swivel or P-Line 5 bead #1 treble on both sides of flasher. Helps a lot. Works for inlines and dodgers as well.

[@NME1.]

Hey boss so what's should I use if am fishing off the bank

[@nookiehookers8859]

NME# 1 spin and glow with eggs or prawn 🍤

[@NME1.]

Nookie Hookers am looking for someone to take me and my dad and father in law and my son on a guide for a day this fall for Salmon. Do you do guides or know anyone

[@nookiehookers8859]

NME# 1 if I had a sled I would be thrilled to take you guys out but my 18' boat with windshield sucks I can recommend Mundens rising son adventures he is a great friend of mine and really knows his stuff also to Hester Hester's guide service and John pluggoff but I would call jacob munden for sure

[@NME1.]

Nookie Hookers sweet.. Thanks man I'll check him out

[@rippinglips]

Do you troll down stream or up stream?

[@duanegertsch5768]

Awsome bro

[@nookiehookers8859]

I do not guide Fred Bieber I just love being on the water! tj Hester from hesters guide service does and he is one of the best also jerry Reyes from flatout fishing guides give them a try they always bend rods for customers

[@kingcronic6191]

GOOD INFO..BUT THAT WAS A YBC FLASHER NOT SHORTBUS

[@brandonkorpi9653]

You don't drill your super cutplugs out for a tighter roll?

[@nookiehookers8859]

No never tried can you explain

[@brandonkorpi9653]

seen it on TJ's boat so figured it was a Reach thing. Not sure if he has a jig or not, but he drills a 7/32 bit through the outlet hole straight through, then runs leader through that instead of middle inlet hole that comes stock. Shoot, I hope I'm not giving out secrets...oops.

[@nookiehookers8859]

your welcome

[@nookiehookers8859]

I troll downriver.sometimes I'll even backtroll .

[@stevenvue1384]

you catch any this year yet?

[@nookiehookers8859]

Only sockeye so far this year and I busted of a nice summer run king salmon

[@alexlara2019]

Do u always use 12oz weights ?

[@nookiehookers8859]

No depends on the current or how many rods I have out sometimes 16 oz in the front and 12 in back or 12s and 8s just depends also on what I am using

[@stevenvue1384]

how do you no you ten feet off the bottom sorry new guy

[@nookiehookers8859]

wow 600 Miles is a hike. I'll see what I can put together for more info on locations next time. I'm glad the videos are helping you. we have very amazing salmon fishing here. you can always email me [e-mail] I can give you info also

[@mattaguilar7553]

oops meant not a single bite

[@ReVeralife]

26 minutes on how to rig it? I feel like this is a promo video for Apex lures. Come pre-tied with a leader, clip it in and go. G'damn who has time for this shit.

[@stevenvue1384]

how would you recommend fishing the mouth of the Yakima right now.

[@nookiehookers8859]

For sockeye I would try to hover or slowly move up river .2 to .4 mph dropper about 10 oz and a cha cha by macks lures tipped with shrimp. For Kings the same as I showed in the video down river flasher and super bait although Kings will hit on sockeye setups I have caught them.

[@mattaguilar7553]

oops meant not a single bite
