Today i'm heading out to do some Oregon Fall Chinook Salmon Fishing and i brought a few of my favorite salmon fishing spinners as well as my last twitching jig. I have two different salmon fishing setups, the first being my 9'4" Lamiglas Redline baitcasting rod with a Quantum Pulse baitcasting reel. I'm running 30lb braid on both rods with a 20lb fluorocarbon leader. I brought a big selection of the angling addict fishing co (AAFCO) salmon and steelhead spinners but have two colors in mind that i know have been producing fish lately. My other rod is a cheap 7' medium action rod that i picked up for $20. I've never fished with this rod before and considering it's size, if i manage to find myself a nice chinook salmon or coho salmon, im sure the fish will give me a run for my money.

This salmon fishing video was shot in the first week of October after a long stretch of nicer weather, lower river levels, and skiddish fish that are just waiting on a little rain to raise the river level so these salmon can finish their migration back up to the hatchery. Though i am out targeting coho, a lot of these pools that i will be fishing are holding a bunch of chinook salmon. The fall run on this river is a wild one and none of the chinook salmon can be kept. With that in mind, i know i have a good chance of hooking a chinook so i always try to have my pliers ready to go so i can get a quick release on the fish. Since most of these chinook will be in spawning mode, it is always best practice to land the fish as quick as possible and to do your best to keep it in the water as you remove the hook and get it released after a quick picture. I could tell that my first chinook was tired out by the time i released it so i didn't get a good shot of the fish, but i did get a good shot of the second fish since it was doing better. Normally i wouldn't take a native fish out of the water but this was one of the biggest chinook salmon i've ever caught while salmon fishing on a river. As you can see in the video, the fish was out of the water for about 3 seconds and was then safely released to go finish making some babies lol. If you haven't tried salmon fishing with twitching jigs, i highly advise giving a look. It is another great salmon fishing technique and could produce bites when other techniques aren't.
My next trip should be fishing one of our coastal tributaries for Coho and Chinook so stay tuned!
