I thought about heading out there for a second this morning . .But I couldn't get motivated Well you got me motivated now, fishing is harder work when you get old. Might go Monday if the wind stays down. Darn. it would have been cool to meet you guys I subed a couple years ago. I did order a sweat shirt to support your channel. Might want to do a whisker trip with you this summer. Peace out.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Glad we can give ya the motivation man! Hope ya can get out soon and get on em. Should be a good bite for a while. Definitely let us know about a whisker trip. Thanks for the support tight lines!

When I was in my late teens/early 20s, that peir was shoulder to shoulder when the kings came in. (56 now). We also fished at the paper mill, known as the stink hole back then. Unfortunately we was there about a week or two, too soon. My buddy did get to land one while at the paper mill spot. Years later, we now fish around Tippy Dam but I'd still love to get into some of those chromers. The darker ones still put on a hell of a fight and that's what keeps us coming back. We do pretty much catch and release on the salmon in the river systems.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

4-20-24 how’s the fishing in Port now? Are the coho coming in? How do you keep dead alewives afloat ? Thanks

[@SquatchMan123]

Very cool love that type of fishing,it’s neat to see how techniques change over the years. I enjoy watching your videos it makes me miss the salmon and trout fishing. Thanks for bringing it back to me and the rest of your followers.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Thank ya for watching man. Always fun to change things up a bit. Hopefully more pier stuff to come soon!

[@douglaslanners6221]

I use the Wolf river off the pier 3 ft drop 3 ft leader #6 hook put a small hunk of my coffee cup on and a dead alewife so it floats did very well with that

[@KingKongbabe]

How do you keep your alewives floating? Thanks

[@RonBateman-vl2wz]

I have to thank you for the videos last year of your freshwater drum fishing we had a ball on the Muskegon pier catching them and I must tell you they are excellent smoked. Better than whitefish we think. So again a big thank you from me and my daughter Jamie.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

That’s awesome! I’ve deep fried a bunch of em but never smoked ill have to try this summer

Would certainly appreciate a heads up when the drum start hitting. I know it is temperature dependent as I also know it is probably not going to be on any of the online fishing reports, at least none I know of.

Can you point me in direction in how you made those rod holders I can’t find any info about it. Did you make or buy them can you tell where you bought them if you did. Thanks you guys are awesome 👏

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Unfortunately I just bought them at a random bait store. A lot of bait stores near the piers will sell em tho. If not I have some made from pvc pipe that work great

[@dv8fishing]

Great video!!! What is your rod holder setup?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Just some welded ones I bought from a bait shack. Pvc, straps and some rebar works also. Thanks!

[@toledorobb]

I would like to see how you make those rod holders that stick into the pier, with measurements.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

We just bought them at a bait shack years ago! Pretty easy to make with pvc and rebar tho

[@JP-zr9wr]

What bait did you use? nice video bro!. I was fishing @ Waukegan harbor not getting luck with the spinners/spoons sadly. need tips to catch my very first salmon/trout

When do you guys use this rig vs the other rig where the barrel swivel is free floating on the main line?
