You think they will push up with the west wind this Saturday/Sunday? Thinking of trying Racine on Monday. How many days of a west wind are needed to bring that cold water into the harbors?

Great video bro! Been watching yall since last year when I got into steelhead fishing heavy. I picked up a bunch of tips and tricks from yall from your steelie and salmon vids. Question.. what’s your favorite slip bobber to use when float fishing Steelies from a pier?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

@@alvinwoolen2340 glad to hear! Brand of the slip float isn’t really important, we usually just get the cheap styrofoam ones from tackle shops. Bigger the better usually

Soooo exciting! Love seeing your excitement as well. Thanks for the great videos and the great chromers! Barry P.S. I assume you jig the same depth as the bait balls are at or do you hit bottom then jig up a few feet? Thanks

Fish I can only dream of, I've only seen the odd few big salmon running in the last decade in my local river but 15 to 20 years ago I use to sit at the back of a pub by the harbour and watch dozens jumping as the tide rose closing the waterfall gap. Cool content 👌

Amazing guys, thank you for sharing your adventure... what bait did you use when you fish with bobber?? thank you.

Me personally fishing on a bobber I'll use garden worms 🪱 or anything living in or near the river ie dragon fly lavy and crickets are all good bobber baits also sprats.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Thanks! We were using alewives

[@matthewbunker1007]

Respectively, these aren’t large mouth bass, horsing them in definitely contributes to losing more fish.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Was over a 5min fight, don’t think there was any horsing going on

[@pablopastor508]

Just my opinion, but I think you are trying to horse in those fresh fish and possibly that first first you lost might be because of ripping out the hook. If hooks are straightened out, it mostly is from horsing the fish. Again, constructive opinion. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

@@pablopastor508 hooks are swapped to double 2x strong hooks. Some of the fights on bigger fish go multiple minutes. Looks shorter bc edited in a video. Tight lines 🎣

[@jayrobertson232]

You’re right! I’ve got buddies that don’t understand letting. the fish wear itself out before coming to the net; that’s what a good drag is for! Unfortunately in most cases with jigging Fall salmon, most are hooked amongst a crowd of other boats and sometimes things get a little sketchy, so of course the quickest remedy is a tighter drag…..😂
