At 10:45 u circle my city🤣 but yeah they are coming thru our rivers for spawn right now my buddy got 2 off the peir more to comeeee

[@GSLAB710]

Water must be cold by you!! No luck here

[@brycethompson6048]

Please share what pier this was at!!!

[@Chiefz]

@@brycethompson6048 it’ll be more rewarding finding your own bite dude. This was my first time fishing here because it looked setup the best based on the info I spoke about at the end. Good luck

[@brycethompson6048]

@@Chiefz you do have a point there! Ima hit em with everything I got!

[@sixuals]

The nighttime exposure is INSANE! Can't believe it looks like daytime that's actually wild

[@Karl51729]

This was extremely useful, I don't have to drive hours just to get skunk. Thank you!

[@coopersfishingadventures]

Love your videos. I’m from Australia and I love watching fishing channels from other countries to see what it’s like!

[@Chiefz]

Love to see it! Maybe I’ll be out there one day catching fish lol. You guys have some unreal fishing

[@davewylie654]

Great stuff those Cohos were dandy!!! So I grew up slinging KO's (best casting spoon ever) off Frankfort and Manistee but the last couple years have been only throwing Deep Walleye Bandits. Forgot my spoon box one night but had a box of cranks in the truck so after flailing some different kinds that I couldn't cast for shit I put on a Bandit and soon realized I could throw it damn near as far as a KO and that slow lazy wobble was the jam, caught 7 the first night I tried it and they keep producing. I can wind them down to 24ft with 12lb braid and the white or the double glow is straight money!! Give it a try man you won't be mad at it. You nailed it with the temp deal. People who don't believe in it don't catch near the fish. Any North or offshore winds for us is straight money. Wisconsin temp is always on the surface due to prevailing offshore winds

[@Chiefz]

I see nothing but facts here! I’ll definitely give those crankbaits a try. Finding some that are above 3/4oz really seems to be the key. Casting distance is huge for more hookups

[@davewylie654]

@Chiefz without a doubt. The Deep Bandits weigh 5/8 but they cast plenty far and also are at target depth just inside where they land if you follow what I mean, couple cranks and it's down at depth. They have proven super worthy especially if there are 4 ot 5 guys all chucking spoons. I pay close attention to my retrieve when I get bit too as some nights they want it moving but 80% of the time it's as slow as you can wind once you crank it down to depth. Tonight is going to be good

[@ShawzyyXO]

Might have to get into fishing now 😂 dude just instilled the love for fishing into me like my 10 year old self had

[@Chiefz]

Love it lol! Get back out there

I’m 52 and grew up in the Milwaukee harbor area. I fished many times out there with goose eggs not knowing when to go or what to do. Your video is awesome and I’m so thankful for it. I’m now in central Wisconsin so it’s a 2 Hour Dr. to the coast, but I will definitely be shooting over to the Algoma area this spring. Thanks for the tip on the website for the temperatures of the water that is extremely helpful to me. Blessings. Subbed!!!

Pretty cool of you to explain a little more in detail about conditions. That web site seems like it is a great tool if you dont have a ton of buddies that are on the shore\pier game. Great fornthe lone ranger angler. I like how you did the night lighting on the video too! Pretty wild

[@IntuitiveUniversity]

One of my favorite spots!

[@elylebedev]

Where is this

[@tombeyer375]

Fishing near the 52° thermal, is where it's at! When trolling, used to stack lines 20' apart, above and below the thermal. Kings would usually rise and hit the lure, just above the thermal!

[@jayrobertson232]

Very nice, thanks!

[@codybertram6122]

Was In Milwaukee for a tool concert and got to fish all around McKinley and south shore. We got two kings 5-6# and 10-12# buck. Mid day sight fishing with lightweight jigs and plastics is what I finally got them to eat. They would chase spoons and lures up but wouldn’t commit and had to force feed them jigs til they got pissed and ate it.

Nice work 🤟🏽

Awesome! Thank you

[@markr.1547]

Love your videos! Wisconsin side has been fantastic the whole year! One thing I’d point out and maybe I missed it but when you click on a buoy let’s take Sheboygan for example they have a water probe at various depths down to 69 feet down. Currently the water temp at that probe which is out in 120 feet of water is 40 degrees! Surface temp is 52 degrees. Kinda like a fish hawk from your man cave and gives you an idea what setups to use to be on fish before you go out.

[@Chiefz]

100%! A lot of those buoys don’t show depth temps so I didn’t want to generalize all of them. Thanks for watching 👊🏼

[@Bpositiveandprosper]

I like the intro song!

I started fishing around sundown and fished throughout the night! The super moon made recording a lot easier

[@davidbarclay4968]

Love the video. That first Coho was just beautiful. FYI a Blue Moon is any 2nd full moon in the same month as another full moon. This happens every 33 months or so.

[@matthewd.3276]

Great video. How many pound test are you using?

Thank you! I was using 10lb mono mainline and 16lb fluorocarbon leader

I know a place where you can fish em 😏

[@Apostle_Fishing]

What lb line you recommend? Also any rod recommendations? Love the videos 🎣👍

[@Chiefz]

I used 10ib mono in this video. Some ppl like 20lb braid bc it’s thinner and you cast a little further

Couple more weeks and we’ll be pier fishing up here

What weight KO spoons do you use? Is heavier better?

Great video man, I had a question. I am planning on fishing from the Michigan side this weekend for salmon, do you think realistically it will be a good time to go with the upcoming weather? I am very new to salmon fishing so I wasnt sure.

[@Chiefz]

Yeah definitely. Everyday from here on out there will be more fish inshore. Just make sure getting out there is safe and waves aren’t crashing over

[@elijahn.8339]

@@Chiefz Ok thank you, I was glad to see our weather is finally getting cooler and we got some rain yesterday too.

[@davewylie654]

Here ya go brother if it's SW and has been for a couple days it's going to suck. Any sort of E (super rare) or N of any flavor it's fishable and even more so after a couple days of it. Traditionally when it's warm in the fall it's SW wind and when the cold front comes it switches to NW and blows for 3 days check it out you can almost set your clock to it

I'm new to Salmons fishing, been around your fishing spot this year after saw you videos and recognized the local pier. So sad didn't catch a single steelhead. Idk what's wrong, I've tried so many different rigs and went out there morning and evening. Is it because of my luck or I did thing wrong? lol
