Oregon Salmon Fishing 2022 - Chasing My First Spring Chinook (Skunked)

Two days of Salmon fishing on the Columbia River in Oregon.

Have you had any luck yet this year? It should be starting to get good last week of march and until it closes

[@freshwaterfishingsyndicate7456]

Not yet Don. We are definitely getting dialed in though. We've moved a little farther down river since filming this video, and the bite looks to be picking up! It will be a blast when we get on the fish.

Best way to keep those tangles at a minimum, when you cast out, once your gear hits the water stop your line from coming out of your reel. This will keep your line taught and the spin n glo will float above your line, keeping it clear of the mainline and therefore not tangling up. Have fun, be safe, and good luck out there.

Thank you for the tip David! Each time out has definitely been a learning experience. I switched up my plunking rig since making this video. I've been using a three way swivel, which has actually cut down on tangles big time. This week im tying several spin n glo rigs up using snap swivels which should hopefully help as well, and also allow me to switch up colors easily. If you have any other tips I'm all ears!! Thank you again for the tip, and for checking out the channel!!

What size spin n glo and hook combo for chinook? Thanks for video.

[@freshwaterfishingsyndicate7456]

The sizes vary, but after this first year my go to will be size 4 spin glo (and Size 2) , and 1/0 Hooks.

You didn't even catch a fish man

[@freshwaterfishingsyndicate7456]

That's part of fishing! Unfortunately we can't always get on the fish. Right now I'm putting out a video every week, regardless of whether or not I catch one. A good way to tell if there will be a catch is to check the title. Skunked in fishing means we went out and didn't catch one. Thank you for checking out my channel, I give you my word that eventually I will catch a fish!! Lol
