I’m completely new to salmon fishing, so this might sound stupid but what is the bait you used on the end of the rig? Plan on heading to South Haven in the spring to try and catch some. Thanks for the vid, it was really helpful!

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Skein aka salmon eggs in membrane

[@0JohnH]

Awesome fish!!...do you think spawn sac would work if I don't have any skein??

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Yes they would!

Just moved to SW Michigan from Oklahoma. Wanting to try some Pier Fishing in nearby St. Joe. Have any tips?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Right now try shrimp under a bobber for steelhead 👍 we have some how to vids and tips in some of our other pier vids also

[@bluedogsurvive6501]

In the UP we use bobbers with worms like three feet down and slay em

[@jimpowers2047]

used to use bobber worms off the waukegan pier in illinois when i lived just outside chicago....chow down

[@markpetricevic3368]

In my local fishing zone I call fish that size a skipper

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

That is correct, just lil skipper Cohos

Directly to the Barrel swivel 👍 thanks for watching!

I have been trying to find a spot in Michigan that’s somewhat near the border of ohio but I don’t mind making a drive for a good spot. But I’m trying to find a spot where I can wade/or access fishing spot where I can catch some salmon? I’m eager for the steelhead season here and was thinking about making a drive here at the end of the month

[@JimBowSlice]

In the fall the st joe river Kalamazoo river and grand river all have healthy runs of coho and kings. There's some steelhead opportunity on the east side of the state along with a good chance at Atlantic salmon.

[@mckennabaker2832]

what pier are you fishing at?

[@springwellssw]

Are you fishing at the Manistee Piers

[@davidjsouth231]

Ok, obvious or dumb question. When they built the levy did they purposely make holes for people to set their roads in?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

I believe so. Not 100% sure tbh but I imagine that’s what they’re for

[@paulolaves8029]

Hello friend, what can I use as bait for fishing in this lake?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Try skein, spawn bags or shrimp! Spoons also work good

[@codybertram6122]

That’s why you should always store your reels with the drag loose for long periods of time, then tighten them properly when using them

[@moseskongi4746]

Why do you store them with the drags loose?

[@codybertram6122]

@@moseskongi4746 because it takes pressure off of the drag discs and if you leave it at that drag for too long it won’t be as smooth. It will vary the spool will spin fast hit a spot then spin slower. It’s not a huge deal until you’ve hooked the fish of a lifetime and it gets away cause your drag was jerky and not smooth.

[@wlaforge]

What pier?

[@stateoffishing4002]

Hello, awesome video, I wanted to ask when is the salmon and steelhead season begin on the pier?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

On and off all year. Cohos winter spring. Steelhead the same including fall

[@stateoffishing4002]

Does the fish catch depend on the water temperature?

What lb line you'll using. Do the egg sacks float off the bottom?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Just 8-10lb line. Don’t need much for cohos. The skein doesn’t float much but the current will pick it up and blow it around a little. If you use spawn bags tho u can add floats to help keep it off bottom
