Tips and Tricks For Catching GIANT Fall Steelhead!

[@Dz3no2]

Thabk you for all the great videos on fishing Eric. Hope to see you on the lake this year!

[@sjklahn]

I visited Cabela's in Green Bay A couple weeks ago. Seen your picture. And fish. Low key jelly. Nice Brown.

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks bro

[@billgausman5887]

Eric, I am really enjoying your videos. My PB steelhead is 0. Never caught one. But I'm in the middle of moving to the UP near Escanaba, and I want to learn. Fishing is different in MN, where I'm moving from. The Great Lakes are going to be an adventure! I really appreciate how you show exactly what you are doing! It will give me a little more confidence for my first trip out!

[@wibigfishcom]

Best of luck thanks for the comment

[@billknox4121]

Great video and glad to see the different techniques. I fish Erie for steel and it’s the best fresh water fishing for sure

[@wibigfishcom]

Someday I’ll make it to Erie to trib fish

28 in. 2 ft around chrome female full of eggs. Euclid watershed Cleveland. Palm size crome spoon red eye maroon tail on 5th cast . The spoon belonged to my uncle was in navy who died in 69. Caught 2008

[@kentyler966]

I do appreciate the way you treat the fish on the release. Classy . Boat does look like a land mine went off somewhere near the steering wheel.

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks and yes I have issues cleaning shit

[@jaredgibbs1011]

Down here in Central Illinois fishing Illinois river Pike at night but someday I want to try that stuff up north. Those fish look like a blast.

[@wibigfishcom]

Yea it’s a ton of fun

[@jacobwinn5409]

Great video Eric! My personal best steelie is a 16.6 pound buck swinging a stone fly on my 10' 7wt Orvis. I will be moving to the racine kenosha area in a month and all I do is fish and hunt. My wife also just bought me a brand new Tracker Super guide V16. Just finished building it. I pick it up from Bass pro in Gurnee IL in 2 week's I'm pumped. I'll see you out there buddy. Thanks for all the tips. Wisconsin trout and salmon fishing tactics are a little different then Michigan. You've definitely helped. Thanks again and tight lines.🤙

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks best of luck with your new boat. 16 lb steelhead is a tank especially on a fly

[@ChorusArtists]

You're living my dream. What a day. Great job on every one of them. My PB is only a 15lb, but in the river. Hails from Ontario!

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks bro and tight lines

[@markriederer8896]

Great Video Eric, My PB steelhead was 14 LB on spinner in Manitowoc river.

[@haroldmonday2096]

Fantastic video. I need to do this kind of fishin. Thank you

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks yes it’s a blast and the steelhead are great table fair in the fall

[@matthewowens5992]

Really digging your content, PB steelhead 18lbs fishing spawn under a float! Keep doing your thang!!

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks I appreciate the compliment brother

[@SteelFisher]

Sometimes when I'm eating sushi rolls like that I wonder if the herring roe would work in spawn sacs. The colour is great!

[@Zewbacca]

That was some funny stuff. You are the man

[@randyschultz4549]

Eric your the best in Milwaukee!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👌👌😀😀😀

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks dude

[@yajtramer6913]

You have to use Mr twisters. I freak my buddies out using them and catching salmon and trout

[@QuestFishingAdventures]

Nice video thanks for sharing. Spinners been working on the Lakers as well. I was throwing a slender chatterbait blade 2 weeks back got the same result! Heck I've thought I've fished a tube everyway imaginable gotta try it under a bobber now!

[@wibigfishcom]

Also you can tie on a small amount of tinsel on your jig hook then put the tube on. Add a waxie or two, twitch pause twitch pause 6 lbs fluro carbon

[@QuestFishingAdventures]

@@wibigfishcom Thanks going to try the tubes this week down in the South Basin. Love the video's and insight!

[@ottergrotto5850]

Just INSANE!!! 🎣

[@sbsoutdooraction3055]

Looks like too much fun 😮

[@wibigfishcom]

Oh yes it is….

[@grantkoehler8057]

Pb steelhead is 22lbs out of Port Washington 2 years ago

[@evanstelling9692]

Eric awesome vid, appreciate the advice and info how can I book you for a guided trip though I’d love to learn more in depth on the big pond steelhead fishery my man, awesome video though!

Thanks call or text my cell phone number is 4147790479 thanks

[@gregbratton4936]

Can't believe you were the only one out there! Nice day A?

[@joeweber1575]

Great job!

[@brodygrunewald6620]

What is your casting setup ?

[@wibigfishcom]

7’ medium action spinning rod with 15 lb suffix braid with 12 -14 fluro carbon leader

[@LemurSRB]

What kinda of spinners you r using?

[@wibigfishcom]

Blu Fox vibrax

[@FreshwaterFiends]

Almost that time again! On a mission to get trout eggs!

[@tomarmstrong1846]

What brand/size spinning reel are u using??

[@wibigfishcom]

#3 Blu Fox Spinner

[@someguyfromwisconsin7237]

Are they good eating? I'm probably going to go for the southern Milwaukee trib and then probably a couple of Racine Rivers ever eat the steelhead that come out of there? smoking or baking?

[@wibigfishcom]

Yea they are great now because they just migrate in from the lake and the meat quality is still great

[@someguyfromwisconsin7237]

@@wibigfishcom Even the 8 to 10 Pounders? I plan to release everything above 10 lb but are they still good at late December?

[@adamsmith3996]

Go catch some walleye or perch to eat. Steelhead dont even taste that good. Let em go.

[@marlonrezash4752]

Releasing 10lbs and up is a great idea. And you can catch a fresh silver fish anytime of the run. Now is pretty much the best time to get out for them.

[@Ryantrock8888]

@@adamsmith3996 some people like trout and salmon better🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bossmanq6504]

Sweet video! No salt no steel tho.

[@FishinYT]

nice fish keep slayin bud

[@garybowers9605]

What type line and pound test do you use for steelhead? Love your video's!

[@wibigfishcom]

15 braid suffix and 12 fluro carbon leader

[@adamsmith3996]

PB. 18 lb hen Out of erie trib years ago . Huge for erie.

[@wibigfishcom]

Wow that’s a tank

[@NizmoOG]

You said it was pretty cold out and I noticed your using braided line. Do you ever have issues freezing up? Or will you switch to Mano? Or do you keep with braid and use a line conditioner?

[@wibigfishcom]

Yes definitely braid sucks when it’s below 30 degrees and I stick with mono

[@Chris-lh7pe]

Are those fish suspended in the current or sticking to some structure? Im familiar with float fishing further upstream in the spring but don’t know much about staged fish this time of year. Nice vid as usual

[@wibigfishcom]

Yes almost all the ones I’m catching are 4-8 feet down

[@ChrisG9978]

Your sushi idea isn't half bad...I've been out fishing and run out of bait/spawn sacks and have had to improvise. You'd be surprised what you can catch a fish on when you forget or run out of bait...candy, marshmallows, part of a PB&J sandwich.

[@johnvito5541]

Great video 👍

[@wibigfishcom]

Thanks

[@adamsmith3996]

Brownie eggs are the absolute best for steelhead.

[@kurtc6302]

Hell yeah

[@joekloskey8928]

CAN YOU FISH OFFSHORE THERE

[@wibigfishcom]

Absolutely tons of public fishing

[@NizmoOG]

Biggest one that had a pink stripe and chrome paint was 29” not sure about her weight maybe 9 pounds

[@Blktailhunter53]

[@wjw5627]

The amount of clutter and chaos in the boat might have been yours and Perric's downfall in 39 hours. Crazy awesome video though 🔨

[@tonyrudolph6908]

I bet they like the smell/sent of avocado 🥑

[@kentyler966]

Gonna take 3 days to clean the boat.

[@getit8349]

The trout would most definitely not enjoy avocado

[@ctcraftii]

Everyone knows trout love avocado.

[@wibigfishcom]

Do you think they prefer hot or mild?

Lmao..you need to hire a cameraman
