Kayak Trolling For Salmon in Puget Sound

[@ShanePingStyle]

you are so cool to catch your salman either from boat, kayak, shore in Puget Sound now ....

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks, guys. Hopefully we can get out soon

[@fishwithoutfear8970]

That camera angle is dope dude. Good thinking on setting up the boomstick like that. Also those were some nice salmon. Cheers bud.

[@PeelingLine]

Appreciate it! The boomstick has a little connector at the bottom you can buy. I have 2 but you could get more and in 2 seconds you can change the camera angle (front to rear) and then you have the range the arm moves. What would be sweet is if the camera stayed facing you when you moved the boomstick.

Looked like a hatchery coho & nice to see all though's shakers but a pane & bait thieves they are. Nice video.

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you.

[@fishingwithjaybaez]

Nice work. One day I might get a kayak but might just go for a boat instead. Kayaks scare me a little 😂

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you. The cost of owning a boat scares me.

[@fishingwithjaybaez]

Yeah you’re right 😂

[@justletmetravel]

Looks like a great day to be on the water......I cannot say I have seen anyone fish with a mirror before.....reeling backwards has to feel awkward also and finally just my luck about to land the fish and bye bye

[@Fishin-mission1]

The mirror is a flasher they help attract and give you a wider area under water for your lure to cover.

[@PeelingLine]

It started out nice but the wind picked up and everyone took their boats out. I couldn't even troll after a while because of the waves. Reeling backwards is awkward but that is just what you have to do on a kayak. You need to keep up the momentum when you get a hook up.

[@justletmetravel]

@@PeelingLine kayak = calm water or a wet ride I have been thinking about a pedal model but $$$$ they are pricey

[@PeelingLine]

@@justletmetravel These are the cheapest pedal kayaks you can get. They have steering problems but I think I have worked them out.

[@outdoorproductreview]

@@PeelingLine I bought that Big Fish pedal kayak. It was leaking as you know from small micro holes. It’s super stable after the fix. The company is going to send me a new one and I told them I want the 108 instead of the 103 after my time in the current at point no point this weekend. The only problem with with the seaweed getting in the prop.

[@BookofCornell]

Brett how you been man? Another nice video.

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you.

[@salemneff6377]

Come to conconully Washington

[@PeelingLine]

It's a bit far. But maybe I can make a trip out there.

[@salemneff6377]

You’ll love it!!!!

[@salemneff6377]

Your bout 134 miles away not to bad I think personally

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

Do you think this can be accomplished in a paddle kayak?

[@PeelingLine]

Yes but it would be a lot harder. You will probably lose more fish but I'm sure you could do it.

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

@@PeelingLine thanks

[@BrianMonticello]

Nice video!

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you.

[@kevinstorm2167]

ice resident Coho, sorry I missed you that day.

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. We should get out again. I have to fix my steering though and my hummingbird needs service.

[@outdoorproductreview]

Man went out to pint no point this weekend. Hit the current at slack tide. Damn that tide coming back in about kicked my butt. Only one shark mooching. We should hook up and fish.

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Glad you got a nice keeper! Good video

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you.

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

I guess flashers work in salt and fresh. Trolling from a kayak isn't east especially almost reeling backwards. Great job filming and the view angle!! Nice work Brett

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. It blows my mind that flashers even work. I would think they would scare off the fish.

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

How do you like the diver? I've been running a dropper set up and have been thinking of adding a downrigger to my yak. Thanks for sharing! Awesome fish!

[@sov19871987]

I don't use flasher anymore, just herring and diver, same results but way nicer to feel the fish

[@PeelingLine]

I will have to try that. Do you just use a helmet?

[@sov19871987]

@@PeelingLine diver, 5-7 feet line and herring in a helmet, works just fine and you don't have to drag that flasher behind.

[@PeelingLine]

@@sov19871987 That would be easier especially on the kayak. I will give it a try.

[@sov19871987]

@@PeelingLine went to Port Angeles on a kayak last week, lunched at Freshwater Bay, got two keepers, hooked 4 more, lost 2. Without a flasher.

[@PeelingLine]

@@sov19871987 Nice. you getting coho out there?

[@RaulGarciaFishingandOutdoors]

Man that yak so stable! On those waves!

[@PeelingLine]

It's not bad but it's slow because of stability.

[@MattVavrochFishing]

Dude that looks like a blast, hopefully next time you can get a few more of those good ones in the bag, several heartbreakers there!

[@PeelingLine]

It was! You can keep only 2 in this area. But hopefully I can get 2 for a video. My freezer is loading up. I already have 3 weeks of salmon in my freezer.

[@MattVavrochFishing]

@@PeelingLine jealous of that for sure!

[@joescarpadventures]

Beautiful water! Ever have any Orca encounters? How do you like your YakAttack flag/light? Thinking about getting one...

[@PeelingLine]

No I haven't. But, others have had some other whale encounters recently. I do see lots of dolphins near by often. The flag is definitely worth it when there are boats around. One more thing to make you easier to see especially when people are drinking.

[@salemneff6377]

Dude nice if you want to try some freshwater fish including trout,bass,crappie

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. What kind of trout do you have over there?

[@salemneff6377]

Rainbow trout,brown trout,brook trout and if you need somewhere to stay your welcome to stay with us I’m the kid that caught the big dougeonous crab

[@PeelingLine]

@@salemneff6377 Cool. I have never caught brook or brown trout. I remember you.

[@salemneff6377]

So tell me when I you want to and we’ll plan

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Herring sauce. I had a Swedish girlfriend who would probably put that on her scrambled eggs. 😛 Nice catches, dude. They go nuts at the side of the yak.

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. They must know they're about to be dinner. At least her nickname wasn't herring sauce. She nasty. 😂

[@ThePiscatorian360]

Glad you got a nice resident coho in the box! Its frustrating sometimes when they keep getting away. Great job, tight lines! The Piscatorian

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. I think I need to change some things up like making my flashers breakaway.

[@northforklures275]

Great catches my brother! What a beautiful place, and didn’t seem like to many people there?

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you. It is just the north side of Bainbridge island. There is a lot of boat traffic there that I didn't show.

[@FishingWithBottles]

Nice keeper! Surprised how tiny that one fish was! Big appetite!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Looks like a lot of fun, didn't even know you could troll for salmon in a yak

[@PeelingLine]

These coho are the toughest to troll for because you have to go so fast. I doubt you could get them with a paddle yak.

[@sarathcover]

Hello brother Where is place?

[@PeelingLine]

I there are maps at the end of the video

[@Fishin-mission1]

Nice! Looks like you had a good time. Looked rough out there. The boats are everywhere lol

[@PeelingLine]

Yes it was! Started out pretty calm.

[@TheOutdoorCatch]

That looks like a lot of work fighting a fish while dealing with those waves. Nice job!👍

[@PeelingLine]

Yeah it is but hopefully it wont be for much longer. My friend is going to put some release clips on the flasher (big mirror thing) so there is less drag when fighting the fish.

[@speedbird1598]

@@PeelingLine When the flasher is released does it just fall into the water?

[@PeelingLine]

@@speedbird1598 No, it just hangs from front. Usually it's connected at the front and the back. The release makes it so the back connection detatches with enough force.

[@speedbird1598]

@@PeelingLine Ahhhhh clever

[@ignaciocuevas7472]

Whats the setup youre using im from eastern wa going out there this weekend renting a double person kayak and trying it out first time any help or advise

[@PeelingLine]

I showed it in the video. Deepsix diver No. 1, flasher and hoochie. Herring strip and herring sauce. You can see it again in my orca video but with a No.2 diver. Unless you have pedals it will be tough to catch them because you need to keep up your momentum when you hook the fish. Good luck.

[@ThatShinerGuy]

Looked like a nice day. You did pretty good trolling out there!

[@PeelingLine]

Started out that way.

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

Very interesting rig! Cool that the pedal yak gives you enough speed to actually troll some lures effectively. Wish I could do the same with dorados here haha

[@PeelingLine]

You have to go over 2.5 mph for these coho. It's why I had to stop. Hard to go fast when your kayak is slamming from the waves.

[@3TripleR]

You’re nuts for being out on that with a kayak sheesh. Getting rocked all over the place! 😂 Great video!

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. I took off when it started getting crazy. I didn't even include the bits where massive ships passed me.
