This is awesome plunking for salmon on the Columbia River. It's on my fishing list. I have seen folks plunk below Bonneville Dam on WA side, but never know the setup. Thanks for sharing.

[@BackFishing]

I'm glad you got something out of it. GL

[@brandonwarren5104]

Grew up plunking around that area. Upgraded to a boat but still miss plunking. Something relaxing about it. Great job man.

[@BackFishing]

Totally agree for relaxation. I thought I would be bored but it's satisfying when you hook up. Tight lines 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@swimbait1]

Spin glo been fooling chinook for decades. Thanks for sharing.

[@BackFishing]

You are 100 % percent on that. Tight lines! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@inspirationalgolfwithgreg8223]

[@BackFishing]

Thanks Greg. Hope all is well. Tight lines.

[@dillonturner4756]

Good job!! Never easy plunking 🎉

[@BackFishing]

Yup...especially places to plunk during high water in the spring. WA side has more bank access for sure.

[@halfwatt7905]

Great job!!! And WOW, that water is so high!

[@BackFishing]

Yes...very limited bank access.

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Great to see you n Awsome fishing, and super nice spot

[@BackFishing]

Yup. Certainly is a good spot.

[@jesse_pnw_angler5852]

You taught me a lot last coho season when I seen you through Ong the flying c I would love to fish again sometime

[@BackFishing]

Glad the channel helped. Thanks for the comment 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@steveschwab922]

Nice work.

[@BackFishing]

Thanks for watching! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@roblockhart8410]

Nice one !

[@BackFishing]

Thanks for the visit

[@KK-vh9bl]

Always nice running into you on the river. So You make sashimi out of that salmon? Very curious. Do you freeze it before you eat as sashimi?

[@BackFishing]

Yeah, FDA suggest with regular fridge 7 days to kill any parasites. Commercial freezer is 48 hrs due to temperature running much colder.

[@hedoesthingspdx]

WOW! So cool Hale'! And that fishing pole? So awesome! What a great score and a perfect way to 'break it in' I have to get out there and try. I wonder if my 12' surf rod would be good? I only have spinner reels though (think that'll work?) I'm going to wait until next week to try for shad close to home.

[@bradr.29]

Good luck out there! The surf rod will absolutely work, as will the spinning rod 👍

[@BackFishing]

Shad are showing up in the Clack Park already. Still low numbers but have arrived.

[@BackFishing]

12' surf rod for snaring is perfect but the setup is best with baitcasting reel.

[@kenken4688]

Great Video. What size of weight , spin n glo you guy using? Thanks

[@BackFishing]

10 ounce bank wts w/wires. spin n glo, Size 0 and 2 depending on current.

[@danijelbrdar]

Where is this location?

[@charlescook94]

Just caught 3 wilds and a hatchery today at that spot using pretty much what you use

[@BackFishing]

Pretty awesome. Just a great day for you. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@BackFishing]

Oregon

[@qtran6847]

Im new to salmon fishing and would love to know where this location is? Much appreciated. Im subscribe to your channel, loving the videos!

[@BackFishing]

Much more bank access on WA side Bonneville Dam about a 2 miles stretch however you may go to Bonneville hatchery Oregon side to try your luck. Very limited spots in the spring.

[@qtran6847]

@@BackFishing awesome, much appreciated. I'll try both sides. Love the videos! Keep up the awesome contents

[@BackFishing]

@@qtran6847 Thanks. GL

[@BackFishing]

My preferred setup is 12' casting rod, 8 - 12 ounces rating and a baitcasting reel. I have it in the description of the video for details. As far as how to setup rig for plunking here a video link I did on it prior. Good luck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZi6eKqdf8mJnas
