The Steelhead Sucker Fishing Sensation

[@ohnojoe5088]

First year of fishing, I got 4 hookups for Summer Steelhead in 3 days. Couldn't land any of them! Sometimes, the hook-ups just don't work out, but you're right: the key is to keep fishing, keep trying.

[@mitchellobermayer4169]

What a beautiful fish!! Handled that fish like a pro

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thank you 🙏 appreciate your support

[@Annie-zf7xi]

Good video of the up and down of being a steelheader. I also loved the commentary .

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks and lol 😂 we banter a bit

[@stevepreston7030]

Great video of the agony of defeat as well as the victory smiles! I need to get out there. I haven't caught nor fished for steelhead for roughly 18 to 20 years. I use all my vacation time for chinook. Hopefully retirement in just a few years changes all that.

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks Steve for checking out my videos, I really appreciate the support. Hopefully you’ll be able to get after them soon.

The dynamic duo does it again. Nice action guy's. Did Rocco use bait when he was drifting fishing or did he use a corkie or yarnie. Love your enthusiasm and excitement each time you all hook a fish. Keep the action coming. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@AutomagicFishing]

Awesome thank you 😊 Jeff! I don’t think we used any bait. Just a soft bead.

[@jeffstoeger2974]

@AutomagicFishing oh by the way the fish were fantastic nickle bright.😎

[@robertnolan1463]

Caught a steelhead today on a little cleo. 3rd cast😂 could not believe all the people today. Keep on fishin on!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Pro tip number one, just keep fishing! Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate it.

[@garystevens1044]

Ok Last Post .. try white glo bug yarn that you use for your yarnies with the bead you want to make it look like a piece of skein with an egg!

[@AutomagicFishing]

That’s a good idea

[@boyznthewoods3571]

My boys love your videos especially my oldest! Keep it up big dawg!!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Awesome!!!!

[@michaelebel260]

[@adamm4104]

Great video! Sweet hookups and fights.

[@bryanwaybrant925]

Took me 3 years before I caught a steelhead. Fish for 20-25 years,stopped for 12-13 years. Started again 2 years ago, love catching them.

[@AutomagicFishing]

It’s awesome

[@joegagznos2312]

Patience is a virtue and we all have it once in awhile. Lol

[@AutomagicFishing]

The grind can get you down if it’s over and over. Nice to get a multiple fish day here and there!!!

[@williamcooke6056]

Best day of the year so far! Awesome!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Good day finally came

[@PeteGonzales-rv5ym]

That’s a great video

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks brother

[@sasharemez7373]

I have gone 7 times to various spots on local rivers and haven’t caught one. Then I ran over my poles with my car cuz I placed them leaning against it and forgot to put them in. I went and got a better pole and reel, the set up that many guys use in the pnw. The guy at the store told me that I can’t use the reel for both salt water and fresh water, becusee the fish in the rivers won’t touch my bait if they sense that salt water from the line, and I been doing just that, using same equipment for fresh and saltwater fishing. Maybe this is common sense knowledge, but not to me. I watched over 100 fishing videos from my area, and not one of them mentioned this crucial fact for newbies. I love fishing, so I’m gonna keep going till I start catching steelhead. I have caught lots of other species, but coho and steelhead been elusive for me. Hopefully now that I got new pole reel and line, and new beads. Some lures I need to wash thiugrouky and keep my salt water separate from fresh water lures.

[@AutomagicFishing]

It’s not easy! Fishing for summer steel is another way to get out!! It’s nice weather as well. Like I said in the video, eight years before I got my first fish

[@jflex089]

Keep up the hunt my angling friend. It makes the 1st one unforgettable! After you knock off the skunk, you’ll be dialed

[@shawnbowen6833]

Ive never heard that salt water thing. I know lots of people who surf perch fish with their steelhead rods. But everyone also rinses off their stuff after fishing salt water because salt is corrosive..

[@AutomagicFishing]

@@sasharemez7373 I have not heard anything about the salt thing. Good grief… the steelhead live in salt for years growing before coming back into fresh water 💦

[@nestorlinwood3386]

Lots of people add salt to there bait lol

[@shaunklingler5992]

You’re not alone. I’ve caught one wild and lost every fish since then. Hooked a nice 8-10lb fish right in front of me yesterday and still lost it. I’m not surprised when I lose fish that I hook downstream from me though

[@AutomagicFishing]

Geometry 📐 can really play when it comes to landing ratios

[@shaunklingler5992]

@ exactly

[@shawnbowen6833]

Im 3 for 3 this winter so far on beads...but one year i also lost my first 8 hooked on beads. I think the reason people lose so many on beads is because the bead being pegged above the hook like that, a lot of fish are actually hooked on the outside of the lip and i think sometimes the hook is just barely through a tiny piece of skin and it just rips through after a minute.

[@AutomagicFishing]

It’s definitely a mystery since we can’t do instant replay and zoom in on what really happened. “Lip hooked” or skin hooked.

[@waynefishon1650]

Nice one bro

[@AutomagicFishing]

I’m far from perfect but I try to make videos so people can watch and get a slight taste of the adventure!!

[@nestorlinwood3386]

I think for whatever reason when a fish gets further away you got to go easier on drag… seams like there more delay between line stretch and drag … just 2 cents

[@AutomagicFishing]

Some say open bail and the fish will turn around and come back up river

[@JenniferR-vd3vl]

Remember to like the video after you watch it. :) This is a good one!!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks Jennifer!! Please 🙏 if you are looking for a good video to share with your online friends, this one is better than most I do

[@garystevens1044]

The American river is fricken hotter than Los Angeles on fire right now!! One of the local kids Zay posted his video of just the weekend as they were killing it at nimbus hatchery!!!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Nice

[@garystevens1044]

HEY DO THEY STILL HAVE THE BMX TRACK RIGHT THERE BY THE RIVER STILL??

[@AutomagicFishing]

Yessir it’s been there since I was a kid!! No races anymore

[@chrisparmenter9582]

I said it before, I’ll say it again…. No touchy the drag!!!!🤪🤪 they’ll get tired. Feed em line and hope they forget they’re hooked.

[@AutomagicFishing]

😂

[@samuelsterling1532]

Well Brian my steelhead season ended before it started. I ruptured a quad tendon yesterday so I'll living in your success lol. Keep up the great videos brother.

[@garystevens1044]

Dangling spinners off of branches works pretty well actually. You need to sharpen your hooks bro or put new ones on.. you know steelies have soft mouths right now!!!

[@AutomagicFishing]

I didn’t know about mouths getting soft

[@michaelebel260]

What state are you fishing? That river looks amazing.

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thank you 🙏 NW !! Oregon River

[@michaelebel260]

@AutomagicFishing thank you

[@nestorlinwood3386]

[@AutomagicFishing]

That’s for sure

[@PeteGonzales-rv5ym]

Some day your eating hot dog and bean and the next day your having steely diner that how it goes

[@AutomagicFishing]
