[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Want to see the full rigging of how I like to Plunk for Steelhead, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJDcopaEr5uFgMU

[@Nicholasyeahbruh]

Thank you thank you again for the awesome gifts

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Glad you got them!! Definitely send some pictures when you do catch with them!

[@Nateworship991]

The way you have your stuff pre-rigged love it I'm going to start doing that very awesome

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Has been a game changer for me over the years. Faster changes on the water and less time trying to tie gear up. Thank you for watching!

[@Nateworship991]

@HolyMolyOutdoors ya I would use foam and wind it but much rather have all my stuff straight up and down love watching all kinds of fishing videos great ideas💡

[@adamnoga-styron7882]

Great spot! Might need to give plunking a shot!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

It’s a fun way to do something different!! Thanks for watching

[@cookDMR]

I like fishing that hole near the end of your video. It's just a little spooky when a cobble lets loose on the bank behind you. Made me dang near jumped out of my skin a few times...

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

No doubt about that!! Thanks for watching and the support

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

That's not only plunking, that's fishing. Nice setup.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Especially these days haha. Thanks for watching and the support!

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors Nice to see you not being deterred from posting a video without fish. Every time I do someone has to spout off some negative remark.. people. 😆

[@fishingthenw1642]

Trap got 67 over the last 5 days. I was there friday and the clarity just wasnt what i was hoping. Even with flows under 8k. Ill try again next week! Nice job man!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and the support

[@rontoomey1187]

Do you ever attach a little bell onto your rod? The River you are fishing?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Typically yes the bell on the blank but there are better ones that can rest on the guide then with a bite fall off. This was the Snohomish system

[@ohnojoe5088]

"Rivers are going to go way up this weekend" yeah, I was planning to go out yesterday, but >1 inch of rain came down in 24 hours, depending on the area. So I stayed at home and organized my gear. Now I'm trying to convince my wife to let me skip on a wedding for a distant relative so I can go out 😅

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Sometimes organizing gear is all you can do. I definitely believe with the saying that you catch your fish in the garage in how you prep and get ready. Haha best of luck on getting out!

[@Graceclaw]

Have you ever tried plunking for coho from the beach during a big tidal rip? Any thoughts on how to approach that, if you haven't? My marine area allows 2 rods, so I figure why not try?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

@@Graceclaw that is a question I have never thought of honestly. I suppose you could if you have a good current going. Almost could find a way to float a herring strip with a spin n glow or something like that.

[@johnny7D]

Awesome video. What size hook do you like to use with that spin n glo and worm setup? I love plunking with coonies.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

That’s a 2/0 there used in the video. Thanks for watching and the support. Coonies are great, I love fresh sandshrimp when I can get them

[@grifftown4204]

Is this a coastal river?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Not a coastal river in this one

[@thereelavery6801]

floating a 1/4 or 1/8 jig in that spot would be nice or even some egg sacs

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Absolutely! If it wasn’t on the rise that day 100% I would have

[@darrelljohnson4658]

What state

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

This was in Washington but honestly applies to the whole northwest

[@scottsavinski9311]

I ended up catching 2 hatchery fish plunking & lost one in 3 days

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Very nice!!!

[@LOLOtheFNG]

Tried plunking yesterday, but damn the water was too fast, 6 oz of lead just kept getting dragged on the bottom with the current

[@stuckonthebank]

Drill a couple screws in you're weight

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Great tip there!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

That can happen, great tip on the screws to help anchor it down.

[@andersonj1each26]

No Michael Jackson’s in there! I use those #4 spin glow with sandshrimp little Flo Red corky. Bro. Try it! I promise you

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Heck yeah that’s a great combo, definitely will give it a try next outing. Thank you for watching and the support
