Pier Fishing Lake Michigan Steelhead - EASY LIMITS!!!

[@FishingNorthernOntarioCanada]

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

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.

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

[@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!

[@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

Had to show my wife here in Texas what pier fishing in lake Michigan was all about. I sure do miss it. I'll have to time my next visit home and show her real thing. 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. Learned fast to have a backpack and plastic bag. Great video for sure. Tons of fun.

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?
