I love how your dog is so chill on the boat

[@CNCoutdoors]

She’s a damn good boat dog 🐕

[@JA-gx4hb]

You can't even ID the fish but you still catch more than me!

[@CNCoutdoors]

😂 😂

[@rickwatson7800]

"Thanks" for the good day fishing, you guys and Nelly have a great safe forth of july !!! 🍻🐟🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@CNCoutdoors]

Thanks you too!! 🇺🇸

[@Tom-sf3rx]

Rainbows have white mouths no gray or black. Cohos are easily differentiated from kings as their tails have no spots. This year Sheboygan is producing lots of big cohos. Great fishing!

[@fishinwithpete8430]

I saw you in the marina while I was leaving, I was going to ask how you did, but I had to get going. Glad to see you did well!

[@CNCoutdoors]

Yup we had a great day for 6 rods! Hope you got into some also!

[@steveneddy9492]

I still have some Rod Holders like that on my Boat. Do yourself a Favor and put a snap swivel rope attachment to your Dipsey Diver Rods. I used two dog leashes to my Dipseys until I got other Holders.. It's just all the stress the Dipsey puts on it and then a Big King Slams it. Hope it doesn't happen to you. Good Luck tight lines. I'm subscribed. 👍✌️

[@CNCoutdoors]

Hopefully I’ll have the new rod holders next year but if i don’t I’ll definitely look into the rod leashes. That’s a great idea. Thanks!!

[@sinfulbeliever7083]

I've been fishing these species for awhile too. Sometimes you just find some of them that looks like the others.

[@Dw8977]

Wow!! Y’all had a great trip 😊

[@steveneddy9492]

Nice 👍👍👍. But I've seen those kind of rod holders break with Dipseys on them with a hard King Bite

[@CNCoutdoors]

Thanks! I haven’t had any issues with them yet but i definitely want to get some nice traxtechs or something similar soon. Just trying to save up the money. For now I’ll just keep my drags loose and cross my fingers 😂

[@steveneddy9492]

@@CNCoutdoors can tell you just starting out and so am I . You got a nicer boat than I and hope to upgrade. Definitely want to stay with a trailerable boat tho. I found two Big Jon Electric Riggers for $800.00 for both. They are only two years old. The few times I've been I'm so Glad I found the Electric Riggers.. $200.00 more for 15lb Shark Bite weights and I'm all set for Riggers. Want me to let you know if I find a good deal on Electric Riggers? Have a friend that has a very successful small engine repair business and he has two Scotty Electric Riggers he has never used and may sell LMK. ✌️✌️

[@stevee8884]

We do the same stuff out from San Fran. Except it's usually a big deep swell with 2-4' chop on top and 55F and fog. We have the F&G on our butts too.

[@CNCoutdoors]

We got pretty lucky, usually the lake has a pretty good chop 2’+ and we did have quite a few fog patches come through on this day. I’ve had days on Lake Michigan where you can’t see 10’ in front of the boat when the fog comes in.. pretty freaky

[@huntnfishpardee5946]

Was in Port Monday. Went 4/5. Two Lakers an 8# King and a 10# Rainbow. Had two fish hit the 6 color Watermelon. Rainbows have an all white mouth. Coho have a mix of white and black. Kings are all black. Got a season pass and a very similar boat. May be back out tomorrow morning.

[@CNCoutdoors]

Yeah those cohos really threw me off because I’ve never seen them that big before.. still learning 😂 good luck on your future trips!! Seems like it’s just getting good

[@huntnfishpardee5946]

@@CNCoutdoors sometimes it’s really hard to tell the difference between the ho’s and the kings, but the bows mouths are always white. And if your ever interested in a Port trip I’d be more than happy to have you along. I tend to mostly take friends who haven’t been out on the big water before, but it’s always nice to have someone on the boat with some experience. Don’t go a ton but will probably go another half dozen times or so this year.

[@missionlures3668]

First fish looks like a king

[@CNCoutdoors]

It mighta been but the scales were flaking off pretty easy so I’m not sure. I’ve never seen cohos that big personally so it threw me off. Either way there going to taste amazing! 😂 😂

[@mattwaltenberg6722]

That was an awesome catch. Some good eating right there. Keep up the great work

[@CNCoutdoors]

Thanks!! Fresh salmon on the grill tonight!

[@mattwaltenberg6722]

@@CNCoutdoors that's sounds good

[@santadj33]

Great Job... Coho are candy.... ;)

[@CNCoutdoors]

Thanks! Ate one up last night😁

[@donnylee2000]

Woo… Looks fun, can I tag alone?

[@CNCoutdoors]

It’s a blast! Sorry just the wife and i

[@donnylee2000]

I got my own boat, just my wife and I too. We love been out there just that we don’t have a buddy to go with

[@timothyrenier3674]

Good to see Nelly back on the boat!

[@CNCoutdoors]

She was glad to be back!

[@jasonbasonbobason]

What are your salmon runs like there? Have they gone down over the years?

[@CNCoutdoors]

From my personal experience i think it’s gotten better compared to 10-15yrs ago. My grandpa used to take me out when i was a kid (15-20yrs ago) and we caught fish but never anything crazy. The last couple years people have been pulling limits and isn’t uncommon to catch a 25lb plus king. This year has been a late start but there definitely starting to show up and i expect the next 2 months to be lights out.

[@zacharykelway5797]

help! what are your rod holders? I just had 2 break on me yesterday, not fun.

[@CNCoutdoors]

Oh no!! I just have a couple Scotty and cabelas rod holders.

[@robertdewitt625]

Great video again. Welcome back Nelly. What was the depth were youz fish'n?

[@CNCoutdoors]

Thanks! We targeted 100-150’ for the most part. There was a warm water pocket (53 degrees) that we just did figure 8s in and out all morning

[@richgoyke9335]

Man those were great conditions for salmon fishing! I have always wanted to try lead core fishing. Do you usually just have two rods dedicated for lead? If you had 10 colors out is that like 300ft back behind the board? How deep would that take the lure?

[@CNCoutdoors]

Doesn’t get much better than that out on the big lake! Lead core is 10yrds per color and it runs about 5-7’ down per color, so 10 color would be about 50-60’ down. I always have at least 2 lead cores out. Thinking about making a 7 color for next year for another option.

[@stevee8884]

Do you ever use down riggers?

[@CNCoutdoors]

I’ve used them on buddy’s boats but i haven’t broke down and bought them for my boat yet. Some day

[@paperpillows1]

Putting Sheboygan on the map

[@steveneddy9492]

Hope you are Bleeding your Fish. I use a 5 gallon pail with water in it to bleed them in before I put in Cooler. Taste so much better

[@CNCoutdoors]

Yup! Always bleed them. I think I’m going to bring a stringer next year and let them hang behind the boat for a couple minutes before they go in the cooler

[@NaturalAngling]

This video was painful to watch. Not for the filming and the action as that was fine. But between this fish identification, and the rod placement on your boat. I'd highly recommend getting some sort track system (Bert's or Traxtech) for your boat, and trees to stack your planer board rods vertically. Also if your tired of wrestling diver rods out the rod holders get some ratcheting rod holders.

[@CNCoutdoors]

I’ll be adding the traxtech some day, just don’t have the money yet. As for the fish identification I’ve never seen cohos that big so it messed up my judgment lol. Thanks for watching!

[@clarkallen4541]

Considering you salmon fish so infrequently, I would say your setup is perfect Cole.

[@CNCoutdoors]

@@clarkallen4541 it works for what i do.. but i will have some fancy rod trees one of these years lol

[@clarkallen4541]

@@CNCoutdoors I have a connection for trees and bases…lemme know. He’s in Pardeeville.

[@CNCoutdoors]

@@clarkallen4541 when the time comes I’ll keep that in mind. I just want them to be adjustable.

[@steveneddy9492]

Loosing a Rod in the Lake you will get better Rod Holders
