Spoon bite was sick , I’d be throwing tubes at those fish as well white for sure .. much funner catching them that way cause feeling the smash 💥 is the best part ,,,👍🇨🇦🎣

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Never tried tubes, sounds like a good time tho! Thanks for watching man

[@gregoryfuzi4745]

I haven't had much reaction on tubs better on body baits and spoons. Got them off the pier with thunder stick and wiggle warts.

Good to see skamania summer runs are doing good there. im from washington state where they came from and somehow our fish and wildlife department cant seem to have any good runs anymore.All they manage here are the fishermen and we get nothing.

spoon and spinner bites are the best. its almost all i do even though its not the most effective. great content dude keep it coming! make video for how you set up your various bait/tackle set ups!

East side of state here. I'd like to make a trip to the west to do a little pier fishing. Can you let me know where/ what city you fish out of- Ludington, Manistee, Traverse City, Frankfort for these beautiful chromes you caught? And what do you do with all of them? I love them smoked or on the grill!! 😋

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

We don’t say where we fish at. But any pier on the west side of the state has steelhead. I mainly smoke and pan fry them👍

[@jamescarbone4857]

I love your video's! It would be really helpful if you could show how to set up the rigs for this particular fishing. I'm wanting to take a trip over from Wisconsin, and I'd like to know the set up beforehand.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

We have many videos out of us showing our pier rig! Do some looking you’ll find em thanks for watching

[@AntlerAnglerTV]

Awesome video as always. Whats the highest water temp you can catch skams in and does wind direction matter?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

70+ is usually a good cut off range. Some wind directions will blow cold water in, depends on where the cold water is at and where u are fishing. Thanks for watching!

[@charlielopez2722]

Nice fish

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Thanks🤙🏻

[@leonmalone7246]

always good vids.. what's the best wind direction for pier fishing that side of the lake? sw is best here on the Ws side.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Any wind that blows cold water towards shore. Depends on where the cold water is sitting. Normally east

[@closetgrower]

You need to start every video with what you were using for a set up. We are here to learn and enjoy. Help us think we could do it. Lol

[@joshlego4775]

seriously zero explanation outside of "its a pier" and what species. TELL US WHERE AND WHAT

[@ML-ks2lj]

You just gotta go down there And figure it out talk with people down there

[@closetgrower]

@ML-ks2lj I live 6hrs away. I go up 3 times a year and spend over 3k each trip. I just want to make the trip worth it before I quit going. I understand I just gota go and do it, but I'm not local and I do hire guides but we need more info period.

[@GeoFishing]

The way their stocked and the lack of educated anglers targeting em. Can’t get any easier for some pretty stockers I mean your not even casting…. Can it get any easier 🤩🤩👍👍 Well done.

[@kalebdrums3683]

Nice video! I’ve been trying to plan a fishing trip out there for a while now. We want to target Kings. We don’t have enough money for a proper boat and would rather not go on a charter. We think piers are the best bet but we don’t know what piers are the best and what time of the year to go. We got Borealis combos from Bass Pro but the employee screwed us by giving us ultra light (4-8) lb line rods and saying they would work. Could you give us some advice?

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Ultra light will work more than fine for the pier (more fun imo too). Try any pier on the west side of the state. Look for cold water temperatures! Tight lines 🤙🏻

[@danhughes3626]

Yeah they get this comments all the time.. I was one of then too..but there is word of mouth and it puts stain on the resource They had to figure things out and got help And learn...so they have to take me out first Lol...they are the hard core fisherman The grind can be tough...but they are pros I live though them.lol what great day for them

Was thinking about heading to st joe to hook up onto my first steelhead, do you think the water is to warm? Is there Anything I should know before heading down there?

[@bassfishing2549]

what wind direction will be better for pier skamania? I’ve been there few times, wasn’t able to catch them, great video!

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Any direction that blows cold water towards your designated pier! All depends where cold water is at

Never really pier or river fished to much. Always fished at parents on inland lakes. I live in Holland Michigan now with two boys that love to fish. Any tips you could share for beginners? Would like to get them into doing this. They would love it..

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Just get out there and try it man. Cast spoons or jig riverside for cats and sheepshead. Sit shrimp under a bobber rig on lake side for steelhead

[@joshuakirchoff3789]

Are you using a slip bobber? If not how far from the bobber are you setting your bait, I’m just getting into game fishing and I have a trip planned up to Lake Michigan soon

[@brittadamczyk341]

would this weekend be any good for skams out there?

Night crawlers On bottom or spoons👍

[@suzyqakers2418]

I need a recipe to remove that taste of a mucky kinda aftertaste. I have steelies from downstate near Grand Traverse and they were gorgeous and vacuum sealed. What should I soak it in. I so want to impress the kids when they come up to da UP and make fish tacos. I’m going to try an adobo vinegrette. Then pan fry in nuggets. I love watching these. Ty

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Bleeding the fish first usually removes that taste. If they haven’t been bled, pat the meat down with paper towels after cleaning. As far as recipes, I brine soak mine overnight then smoke them, but grilling or pan frying turns out great too

[@zhyl459]

Hi, I am going to fish at st. joseph pier this early Oct. Is this a good time for pier fishing to catch salmon or trout at this point and do you have any suggestions about the bait? After watching your videos, I went to this place in early Aug after 8 hours of driving from upper Michigan. Then I found that my bait for pier fishing did not work at all, while those people around me caught a lot of nice steelheads. If you can make a video to explain how to choose baits and lures for st. joseph pier fishing, this will be very great.

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

October should be good for salmon, maybe steelhead but no guarantee. Use Cleo or moonshine spoons, heavy. Also try cast netting alewives or using a sebiki rig for them and use them as bait

We used to walk the beach to the south pier in Saugatuck early spring for the browns on spawn bags. That mile walk back to the truck after limiting out sure was a tough one, but worth every step.
