HELL YEAH! I’m so glad you caught one that day, we went up stream and I was able to catch my one fish of the day too! Gotta wait for the creek to drop to hit it just as hard again

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️No Skunkin for us 👍👍might be a while for the big creek but i'll be waiting 😎

[@jjebert1982]

Love seein Andy & Tom on the water! 💪🏽

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

The best! good people 👍👍

[@michaelkolanda8712]

Love the vids!!! I finally got my first great lakes "steelhead" out of probably the most well known Ontario trib last weekend after 6 or more skunkin trips at different times of fall/winter/spring on the beads on one of my center pins. Definitely my favorite rod and reel to fight any fish with!!!! Glad you stuck it out!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

That is awesome!👍👍thanks man ✌️

[@sammyvh11]

Only went once this year I have a 7 hour drive to get there. Wasn't the greatest trip. Tons of guys fishing and lifting. Gets harder every year I'm 66 and not healthy. Love this channel. No skunking.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man we appreciate it 👍✌️hopefully next time its better for you

[@willsworldoutdoors]

What a way to beat the skunk! Beautiful fish. I appreciate the shout out, let’s finish the season strong!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️i think we got another 6 weeks 😁though i have to take breaks for spring Crappie

[@kickinbass2228]

Way to persevere Bill. That was a great fish. Makes it all worthwhile! Congrats

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks Jim👍

[@ChrisG9978]

Was at the big trib last weekend on Sunday the 10th...when the wind and snow were flying throughout the day, water was high but turbidity wasn't bad. I was farther downstream than you on Rez land...only hooked up to 1 steelie, was fresh but didn't land him. I did land a carp on the pin however...first time hooking a carp with a 8mm bead. Didn't realize carp were interested in beads lol. I guess being bottom feeders carp will eat just about anything. I'm on the fence on whether it was a skunk-free trip for me though. Glad you landed yours!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️carp on the pin - i'd say no skunkin - got a few big carp on sacks over the years myself

[@mikekucik]

Nice fish Bill!!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks 👍

[@rustbeltwilds837]

Nice. Avoid the skunking. Love it when the wind whistles through the line while battling a nice fish 🎉

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks ✌️was happy to hook one

[@kevinwinnie4741]

No skunkin nice Steelie. At least you got out and enjoyed the outdoors. My way it's been tough

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️only takes 1 to make me happy

[@CraigArndt]

Beautiful steelie and not an easy day yesterday with the conditions, glad your effort paid off. Nice work Bill.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks man👍went to Chautauqua for crappie with the grandson yesterday - was way too muddy on the big creek for me

[@CaptainZac]

Mission accomplished - no skunkin! Way to grind it out Bill! Congrats on preserving your no skunkin streak! Tight lines! Captain Zac

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Zac 👍close call but no skunkin - tight lines

[@dsmith8564]

Your a Genuine Steelheader !

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

cant say i dont try lol ✌️

[@SouthMend]

No skunkin! I'll take that any day of the week over working. I swear man, everytime I meet people on the river in freezing temps its like im at an AA meeting for steelhead fishermen lol. I am fully addicted to the grind.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

haha 🤣 thanks man - no skunkin

[@peterchalk1192]

Love the color of that creek. Almost always like that being bigger. Do you think with the very mild winter we've had that the spawn and run is near over?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

a lot of them already spawned but there's always a few late spawners but the drop backs should be good on the larger steams til end of April at least

[@chrisroose779]

Good video as always, figured the 😺 would have more action. Went out the other day had a pretty decent day landed 6 real ones and couldn’t keep smolts off if I used bait. Jigging plastics prevailed. Nice to get some fresher spring fish.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️nice 👍👍

[@silverfoxcraps9166]

Thanks for another great video

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks for watching!✌️

[@lewandlo]

NO SKUNKIN....HAHA ...GOOD JOB. Always enjoy the videso. Better get out for crappie. I'm killing them with this early ice out this year. Can't wait for your crappie video . Cheers from across the pond Ontario.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️got out for crappie yesterday with the grandson - we had a great time withe crappie but missed the real good bite of bigger slabs that started 3 weeks ago

[@machinegun3133]

the picture of the skunk LMFAO

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

😜✌️

[@truenorthangler]

It’s always more difficult fishing the big creek in windy conditions and also stained water. Seems that the fish could be anywhere holding. Some days the fish come fast and furious and some days like today, you have to pray and hope for one landed. You humble yourself. Glad it worked out and made it happen.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Adrian - your right in those conditions fish could be holding anywhere even a few feet in front of you - i'm happy anytime i get at least 1

[@truenorthangler]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures I was at Burt dam with Michael on Friday. Fished at the dam by ourselves. Water was flowing good, 385 cfs. Michael lost 5 fish in the fast current and I landed 2 steelhead, 2 browns and 2 suckers. Not a bad day.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

not bad at all - I'd take it

[@alexrocco5224]

Love your vids man. You guys rock! Does the big creek fish well into April? In some Lake Erie tribs, the suckers are starting to far outnumber the steelies.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️longer- mid May most years

[@larionspano7455]

When do u call your steelhead officially over ? N when do you start for the catfish trips ? Thanks for answering all your comments!!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Steelhead goes until early may then Catfish - got out this weekend for crappie with the grandson

[@larionspano7455]

Thanks for reply went last year for crappie after I saw video it was cold rain n got skunked lol but you video motivated me to go for crappie fish n crappie weather lol ! Nice getting outside n exploring spots enjoy that just wish Pepi le pew would stay home !

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i hear ya - we got into some decent crappie action but missed the big bite of 1 1/2 lb'rs that happened 3 weeks ago after ice out

[@larionspano7455]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures is that the key after ice out ? Hasn’t been much ice past couple years ! From southern tier Binghamton getting ready to come up on trip what’s your opinion this week 30s to 40s or next week 50s to 60 degree weather? Been at Burt n Niagara at 22 degrees n snow ing so weather not problem what u think better fishing weather this week or next ???

[@412outdoors9]

We had a 50 hookup day in Ohio last week. PA has been overcrowded and very few fish. Gonna go back to Ohio this week and try another trib in the snow

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

nice 👍 another cold week should keep crowds down a bit maybe

[@Drewsfishingtrips]

I definitely have had a better year by a mile this then in yrs past, as evidenced that I actually have steelhead videos this yr, lol, but I've by no means had a killer day, closest thing i had was a day i hooked 5 steelhead and a brown, but like you said its real fishing.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

it was a good season ✌️i happy as long as i get at least 1

[@jmebig3044]

Lack of rain in the fall has made for a tougher than normal year. Hopefully, it’s better next fall.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i complain too much its been a decent season ✌️thanks

[@paulkuzia9236]

“Mastered the Pin”, is that even possible?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

[@rickynorris2751]
