Trolling for Chinook Salmon with Big Dave and Nick Amato

The world-renowned Pacific Coast Spring Chinook Salmon is a worthwhile treat, although a difficult one to find and catch. In this video, Big Dave Manners talks with Nick Amato and trolls around a coastal bay fishing for salmon.
The primary technique is trolling 360 flashers (Super Series by Shortbus) with either the new Yakima Bait Spinfish, or using bladed spinners. Using the Spinfish ends up being the winning ticket for two bites, and one landed chrome springer.
Grinding it out and trolling hard through the tide change was necessary to finally get one in the box. Please subscribe for more videos!

[@brianadler2688]

Well done Dave!! Nice to see Tilly Springers do exist!! I'm gonna have to start breaking out my Spin Fish, and give 'em a swim!!

[@salmontroutsteelheadermaga5925]

It can be tough but always worth it when you get one! The Spin Fish are easy to use and get bit - you can keep it swimming all day.

[@ianprice9376]

So, was it the . . . tuna, the sardine, the herring, the sandshrimp, anchovy, prawn or all of it in the lure like goulash? Spinfish is a winner. Fun video guys.

[@salmontroutsteelheadermaga5925]

If I remember right when filming, it was the one with Sandshrimp eggs in it + the other baitfish. - Lucas

[@greatlakesanglermagazine5667]

Haha either way it worked!

[@magwamagwa45110]

you are lucky we have not had a season here on the Clearwater in Idaho in 2 years

[@carlreinkemeyer3848]

wonder if going to large hooks would make for more hook ups

[@paulbowkunowicz6960]

how do you like those Diawa Lexa Line Counters

[@paulbowkunowicz6960]

load clickers...but they are awesome reels

[@colbybud]

Biggest fish came going against the current going dead slow. so just go to show the bite can come on any time. 30lbs white spring off of sandheads Vancouver BC

[@Worthfishing]

Cousin rods Daiwa Lexa reels can’t go wrong I run the same combos too bad they quit making those cousin rods.

[@CLopdx]

What kind of boat are you running?

[@chuckschenck3045]

I here the salmon numbers are down. Some places the season for Chinook is canceled. You guys work for NOAA now. ? Hear they pay good for fake news.
