Puget Sound Beach Fishing for Salmon | "How to"

[@eddiegravage7863]

Thanks for the content, as a newer, fisherman and being 100% completely blind, you’re very descriptive and I know what you’re talking about as you’re describing it and that’s greatly appreciated… Tight lines!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

@@eddiegravage7863 thank you so much for the support and kind words!

[@Donsmusic0001]

[@bigmick812]

Awesome info! I'm very new to this. Only went once. Got set up w Rotator and matching skirt. From Outdoor Emporium. Had to work in Sequim so Got lucky at Point No Point last week. W 1 small silver. I have family visiting last week of Oct. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Gonna also try ur Fly Fishing tips as well.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

+bigmick812 I use the general rule of thumb for beach fishing, fishing the hour before and after high tide when possible. This usually means for the most movement of bait and fish. Each beach is a little different but this is a good rule to start with

Thanks for the great vid. I had the urge to do some pier fishing for salmon this year. Having no clue what i was doing with saltwater fishing this really helped. I hooked into two silvers my first trip out. One was 30+ inch, 12 lb. eyeball estimated. caught on a 3 inch green holo with pink skirt. Too bad i couldnt keep it. It was really funny within 30 mins just about eveyone around me had switched to buzzbombs. Im fishing a 4 to 8 lb 7 foot med light okuma sst with 20 lb braid and 15 lb leader on a pflueger supreme xt reel. Its the only fishing rod i have. makes for a good fight and a by product of the flexy rod keeps the hook set when the fish shakes its head and surges toward you. I am fishing at Dash Point and have seen mostly Silver salmon come out of the water. can you suggest a good fishing pier for king salmon fishing ?

[@stoneh9195]

Wish me luck, in going out fishing tomorrow at a spot near by.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Good luck!

[@FishKepr]

So how did it go?

[@davidgreco751]

Good stuff!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching and the support

[@RoamAndReturn]

mega thumbs up on this old vid.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you! I am going to spruce up and do an updated version as well

[@coachc5581]

Do you have a video of how to tie up the setup and the hardware? Are you going main line to barrel swivel, then 1 foot leader through the buzz bomb tied to another barrel swivel, then a clasp hooked to the barrel swivel and hook?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you for the comment. I just released a new video that covers the full in depth rigging of the buzz bomb. Check that out and let me know if you have any questions.

[@ChrisD624]

Very informative! What length rod are you using?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you for watching! Usually an 8'6 at the shortest to 10ft. My ideal beach rod is 9'6

[@treysiegel750]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors pretty long ive found a 8'6 is perfect action for these type of methods... dont you get tired using a 9'6 lol

[@kfs4869]

Will the setup you're talking about work for chinook salmon? And have you caught any salmon off the Washington coast (Westport, Copalis beach..., etc)?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Yes these setups will definitely catch a chinook. It would probably be a good idea to beef up the mainline if targeting chinook. Yes I have caught a few off the coast. Pretty far drive but I have made a couple trips. The jetties can be good

[@PathToEntrepreneurship]

I recently just moved from Canada and I used to do hardcore fishing there. I didn't bring my fishing gear with me and I live close to Overlake Transit center in King County. Can you please recommend what I can fish around here (I don't mind driving within an hour). I'm mostly a fan of big fish like Salmon, Trout, Ling etc. Is the fishing here good? What gear do you recommend I buy? Thanks!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

PathTo Entrepreneurship There are a lot of fishing opportunities in our state. During this time of the year the main target is winter steelhead. Most of our Northern rivers are closed due to low returns, but there are a few that will start picking up in february and march. Once we get to spring more of the opportunities open for seasonal and species. As for gear, are you going to be bank bound or boat?

[@PathToEntrepreneurship]

Thanks for replying! I will be bank bound.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

PathTo Entrepreneurship if bank bound, you have a lot of opportunity as seasons open up. what do you think will be you main target species?

[@martintran7763]

Hey Rick, thanks for the educational video! I plan on trying out some of your tips at Lincoln park. Have you had any success there? Also, do you have any beach recommendations? Thanks in advance!

[@spkovach]

You can get silvers in the salt using surface flies? That's so damn awesome.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

It is insane! i love watching the v wake chasing the fly them smashing it. so much fun

[@spkovach]

+Live2fish4life You think I'd have any luck on Deception Pass beaches for silvers on the fly?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

spkovach There is always a chance for sure. Got to look for tide rips close to shore. clouser minnows and bait fish patterns

[@spkovach]

+Live2fish4life 8.5 pound Coho today off North Beach! Thanks for the help man.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

+spkovach That's awesome man! way to go! happy to help out

[@Boy777USA]

Useful video - thank you! What do you think about Gibbs buzz bombs?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Sorry just saw this comment. The gibbs buzz bomb will work no doubt

[@Fishing_with_Gilbert509]

nice video gonna do these set up i'm from federal way in i go fishing at dash point wa pier we catching kings pink silvers

[@step_son3170]

Fishing With Gilbert509 I love fishing there it right by my house

[@outdoorproductreview]

I thought you were going to over something spots. Where can I go by Silverdale?

[@dustyrhinehart6958]

Very cool video, I live in the Tacoma area any leads on a decent safe spot for this type of fishing?? Would love to take my girls out during the upcoming season, no boat available .. Thanks

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

***** Thanks man! The humpy season is definitely one to look forward to. Lots of fish and a great time to get the kids out and into the action. One of the draw backs, if any, would be the potential for crowded locations. I personally tend to avoid the high popularity beaches but find just as much success doing some exploring. The tacoma area should have a very healthy run this year with both the green and puyallup rivers being the home destination. I would recommend grabbing a map and seeing where some of the beaches are located near the rivers mouths. I am not all that familiar with the areas but I know there are some good opportunities. let me know if I can help with anything else.

[@dustyrhinehart6958]

Live2fish4life Thank you for the heads up, going to try and do some research on a good Puget sound location, the river is a bit difficult for me to get down to, due to my disability, but shore or dock fishing is a bunch of fun, tight lines can't wait for your next video..

[@bennybanenni]

what time of year do you go?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

ben sunter usually starts near first of August into September

[@bennybanenni]

Thanks for the reply. Moving to Seattle on Monday!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

ben sunter awesome man congrats!

[@pnwriverfisher]

Have you found any North sound beaches decent for coho on the fly this time of year? I have tons of miyawaki poppers and clousers tied up for SRC fishing, and I’m hoping for some good top water coho fishing this year. I have always waited until September to hit whidbey beaches though.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Brandon it's hard to say really depends where the fish are. Area 10 has coho right now so possibly some beaches with access to deep water for RIP currents. I am in the same boat, cannot wait for them this year. Definitely looking to get the fly rod out

[@pnwriverfisher]

Holy Moly Outdoors same! Stoaked for it. Going to have to keep myself busy for a few weeks or so before I give it a shot though. PNP usually does okay this time of year.

[@simonc1328]

Where do you purchase these rotators?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you for watching and the support! I purchase mine locally at our tackle shops here in Washington state. 3 rivers marine, Outdoor Emporium, Holiday sports are just a few

[@BiggameTechJourney]

I catch silver with green rotator with pink skirt at deception pass north beach. rotator is good lure. earlier ay driftwood park by keystone had silver bite saw jump then I lost it. At least got 1 silver and 1 pink. I been using rotator kill with it. would jave limit but keep losing fish lol.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Awesome man. Got to love finding fish. I love also customizing the paint and tape colors. As well as the squids

[@BiggameTechJourney]

+Live2fish4life Ya I saw your video that how I know about rotator. How many salmon u caught pink and silver so far? I caught 7 pink and 2 silver so far and lost 9 fish but it still fun and little sad lol

[@niclectic]

Hey man. Interested in showing me how to catch fish off my beach? I live on camano island.

[@travelback921]

Where do you buy rotaters?

[@FishingWithDanVictoriaBC]

Cool vid ! ! !

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thanks man! Lots more on the way!

[@eddieb6845]

Could you use 30 lb braid as a main line, and 12 lb flourocarbon as a leader?

[@ZulkSOD]

Just use 8lb mono lol

[@Tziumannu87]

question : How did you join the hook with the swivel ? Thanks !

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

+Matttt Thanks for the question. I use an open eye siwash hook and crimp the eye down once the swivel is threaded on.

[@mk-jm5tv]

im in Seattle right now. feb to mid march. where can I fish???? I can't find any info. thanks!!!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

What are you looking to fish for?

[@evanbogard85]

Do you give guided trips? Just moved up to the PNW and trying to get out, but not sure of the lay of the land yet.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Unfortunately I am not a guide, but I have some close friends who are. What types of fishing are you looking at getting into? I might be able to help give you some pointers or direct you where you need to.

[@mathvet1]

Live2fish4life I would like to know the name of some guides for fall river Chinook fishing. thanks, Stan [e-mail]

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Stanley Schultz I will send you an email. Are you looking for any locations in particular? North or South WA?

[@jrzalairelibre]

Can you please tell me who makes The Rotator lure thank you and you should take some video of you fishing thanks

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

JR Zarate I believe the maker of the rotator is a washington native on Whidbey island if I recall right. Not sure of his name. There will be lots of video of the 3rd person view this summer. I have some other ideas in the works too. It's going to be a great summer and fall to be on the water!

[@lockdowng223]

and im planning on going to the point defiance area starting about the 15th will i have any luck?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

lockdowng223 You may find a few resident coho around. The pinks are just starting to show in the straights which puts them about 2-3 weeks before trickling into the sound. You never know till you get out on the water.
