Crazy Spoon Fishing for Coho Salmon How to Fish

[@crankbaiter_fishing]

That was a non-stop action. Well I slept at 1am and was contemplating if I should go for an hour before work. Here is my morning motivation.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Haha, ah it's different now. Things have slowed down a lot.

[@tjkristensen6442]

Any luck bro ? My season was cut a little short unfortunately.

[@crankbaiter_fishing]

@@tjkristensen6442 I don't fish Vedder, where I fish I just got one jack tomato

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@tjkristensen6442 last coho I run into was Monday with two wild and one hatchery. But I did see a few caught.

[@avid.venture]

You’re bang on; it’s not so much the color but how one fishes it 🤗. Have many a days tossing something and people switching up tossing the same lure but having much less hookups. Knowing how to fish a lure goes a long way

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@avid.venture yes, the method of use is more important than the actual tool.

[@ChipDarby13]

That looked like a lot of fun! Makes getting out of bed worth it🎣😊

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Definitely has that effect.

[@Beyar90]

Nice voice cameo from Petr

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Yup, Petr Herman came by on his way to another spot. Always nice to talk to Petr out there. Everyone should stop by his channel for more Vedder River fishing Content. He puts out a lot of helpful information! @petrhermanadventures9509

[@frankpee1453]

Nice spot...i do mostly fish on the fast current lowered for spring.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

I don't fish for chinook much, but I heard his dug out was full of chinook as well this fall and guys were catching a lot in here.

[@AndrewDejong-y7q]

just a question but what day did you go out?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@@AndrewDejong-y7q I think this will be the 5th time I am answering this in the comments section. NOV 1ST.

[@Allenfishes]

Showing how it’s done 🫡 I just had a kid and haven’t been able fish this month but I live vicariously through these videos.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Congratulations on becoming a parent! Thanks for watching. Glad it virtually gets you out there.

[@jjseandxcefree]

Thanks again for the upload Doc; by the way. When was this filmed?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

November 1st, 2024 around 8am to 9:20 am.

[@MM-jn2ny]

When was this that you were getting action like this? I've fished that dugout a few times the last few weeks here and definitely did not have action like this so I imagine it was earlier in the season?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

This was on November 1st, 2024 at 8 AM till about 9:20 AM. I've done well up until Monday of this week. I caught two wilds and one hatchery coho and that is the last coho for me this week. Was out a couple more times and only chum.

[@lovethemack]

Nice video. This is how it should be done IMO. Big well known river, highlights of peak season, sharing tips even. Not some tiny flow with volunteer hatchery and no crowds being advertised online by new fishermen for views. In the 90s I used to order the almost identical spoons from California that a guy made in his basement, the Mor-Tack Stilly spoon hammered copper or 50/50 etc. Because everybody else drift fished in BC back then.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it. I know everyone has their opinions on media and it's use in every part of life. Some areas are more sensitive than others. I try not to bring unnecessary attention to little fisheries. I don't name a lot of places, but do name a few that are more well known by the masses already. I'm sure there are people who have issue with videos even like this. I usually wait a bit to post these as well... I have been fishing this spot this last week and usually only 2 to 4 people per side. So have at it whoever wants to try to catch the last few coho going through. Not sure if this spot will survive the winter and spring high water times. We will see next summer how things look. So nobody fished lures in the 90s??? That is interesting. Lure fishing is what got me into river and coho fishing. I didn't start trying till I moved to the area around 2015. Thanks for commenting.

[@sabotar]

You mentioned braid. Do you have a 5-10ft mono bumper then from spoon to braid?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Fluorocarbon bumper as discussed in the Video. He asked me why I had a six inch piece of clear line. I usually tie on a 5 to 10 foot piece and it just slowly disappears because I change my hooks often and re-tie often.

[@sabotar]

@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures whoops must've missed that part while skipping through. What's your preferred braid to fluro knot?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@sabotar I just use a uni to uni Knot but there are many.

[@markhillquiwag1646]

where is this lower or upper?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@markhillquiwag1646 looks like lower to me. Not aware of any rock removal in the upper river this year. I think the Vedder trail system is along what is considered to be the lower river.

[@markhillquiwag1646]

@ is that in peach park?

[@Maxfishingbc]

I'm 12 and i live in burnaby so the vedder is a long drive for me but i'm going there tomorrow. This is probably my favorite spot on the vedder but since the water came up the island in between the pond and the river is gone so i can't fish the edge of the current anymore. What spots on this "pond" are the most productive and fish-able?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

It's pretty slow now, not much fish left to catch. Might get the odd one if you're lucky. You can still fish the remaining edges even though the island is gone.

[@Maxfishingbc]

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures when did you go out a film this video?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@@Maxfishingbc you're the third person to ask this question in the comments. November 1st, 2024.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

I just have to ask cause you said you are 12 and the Vedder is a long drive for you. How exactly are you driving to the Vedder? You have an electric scooter or bike?

[@Maxfishingbc]

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures My parents or my grandpa drives me.

[@ryanwong1930]

When was this?

[@wadezhang7106]

That swimming pool is good for 30ft Japanese pole rod , no reel!

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

OK, didn't see you out there. I fish with a reel.

[@user-ue1pv1wv7o]

cool

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Thanks!
