HUGE Salmon On A Cheap $20 Fishing Rod!

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!

It’s because of that time in the military that I can now do what it is that I enjoy most. Luckily I was feeling good enough to get out and do some fishing. Hopefully I can get down to the coast for some chinook and coho while they are still in good numbers. Thanks for watching and again for the support

I got my first chinook on the upper Klamath yesterday. It has been so slow the last two years. Good luck with your back, fishing will both strengthen and strain your back muscles. Stretch and rest it when you can brother!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Matt Pastell - congrats on your first chinook! That’s an unforgettable experience for sure. And thanks, stretching is one thing I don’t do enough of. The fishing does help if I’m always moving. It’s when I stand in one spot and just cast that really starts to irritate my back and neck.

I live here on the north coast so I can fish a lot of the spots you have featured in your videos. I hear you mention that you have been sidelined due to shoulder issues. I am finding that fishing is really aggravating my shoulder. I have a pretty physical job on top of it all but haven't had an issue until I started fishing. Can you give me any advice?

@Thomas Lunsford Thank You! Keep at it. It isn’t always easy or everyone would be catching fish. You can’t catch fish if you aren’t trying. It’s easy to get discouraged, I still have my days. The time will come.. the best advice I can give is do your homework. I became more consistent when I stopped spot chasing and started looking into what would make a good spot depending on the species, weather and water conditions, where we are time-wise in the run, among many other factors.... I say it’s luck when you have no clue what you are doing.. pick your spots wisely and fish techniques for that type of water. I don’t do the same thing every place I go.. you will get your fish!

Spent the last 2 days on the rivers, Sandy and Clackamas, watching fish jump every couple minutes in front of me. Can't seem to get em to chomp down on anything. A couple loose bites here and there but no commitment. I've been watching them chase it up to shore too and just completely shy off and 180 out of there.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Devin Levitt - it’s pretty common for this time of the year when the river levels are still low and there’s so much pressure on the fish.. any chinook on both rivers are spawning so they don’t want much to do with you and the coho just kinda blast up river when they can. I’m interested to see how things look after this weekends rain.

[@jeffh699]

Lol the drag sounds cool n the audio

[@jah_bone]

This looks like the Sandy? I'm looking forward to getting out there and the Clack as well when this rain stops. The coho were insane at the end of september.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Joshua Sienkiewicz - I can neither confirm nor deny the location lol.. I’ve noticed that when I specifically name an area/river that section/spot blows up for the rest of the season. I’d say go with your gut on this one. I’m hoping this rain turns things back on.. it was super hot in September this year and last then the bite just disappeared. We shall see what this season brings.. good luck! Both rivers have fish in them

[@jah_bone]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW lol I can't blame you. On monday I spent a few hours in my favorite spot, a nice size coho jumping 20ft out from me every ~20 mins or so, and just refusing to bite. I tried twitching a jig and putting a spinner in front of it but it wanted nothing to do with me. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

@@jah_bone lol I hate when the fish jump/roll right in front of you but won’t touch anything you throw at them. The river levels have/had been holding pretty low and steady for a while there.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

xyzct - it’s that time of the season.. there are a lot of salmon in the tidewaters right now. I have yet to target them from the jetty. I would just switch up the speeds and depths that you are retrieving but most chinook I’ve caught has been a very slow retrieve. You can see how slow some of those boats are trolling, granted not all of them are trolling spinners, I’m sure there are a few using herring. Honestly I have no clue what depth they go through the jetty at so I would just mix it up and see if you can find what works. I hope you have a net lol!! 😁

Fishing the Sandy?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Corey S. - lol I can neither confirm nor deny. I’ve toned down the name dropping in hopes of saving a spot or two from being overrun

[@coreys.3978]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW I imagine the steps make it easier to get down there?? Lol, Thanks man..

[@SWMOPNW]

Oxbow?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Corey Smith - sorry bro, if I said where this was it would be overrun with people. I’ve seen what happens when I say

[@SWMOPNW]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW ok another question could possibly be willing to do a guide trip for a few Navy Chiefs?

[@n0w.1j]

Not barbless hook?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

jwl - you don’t need a barbless hook on this river

[@n0w.1j]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW ohh I see. I recently got into fishing for salmon so I’ve been thinking it was a state-wide regulation. Oregon right?

[@rickzollman5806]

Are you on the upper sandy?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Rick Zollman - I will send you a message shortly. I’m not putting any rivers or locations on blast anymore

[@rickzollman5806]

Sounds good. I don't blame ya. Hope your shoulders and all her better. 👍👍👍👍

[@brianjohnson6987]

You don't need a expensive rod to catch fish.

[@keeganm9701]

That park is filled with them dirty tules right now

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Keegan M - for sure man, everyone I’ve talked to has been catching them lately... time to get back to the coast

[@spcekase]

Is this the sandy?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

@@spcekase I’ve kinda stopped name dropping every place I go but I will say this.. if this spot looks familiar, but something just seems a little off in the video, then it’s probably where you think it is.. me pointing to the right but saying left is a huge giveaway as to what is going on

[@spcekase]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW it doesn't look familiar to me at all tbh. I was just curious if it was the sandy cause ive been fishing near oxbow the last 4 days straight and can't catch one to save my life lol.
