TYING SPAWN SACKS - HOW TO & TIPS

[@amybaby04]

THANKS FOR THE LESSON! Caught a loose hen yesterday and I've never cured nor used loss eggs. Your video was extremely informative! Thank you! Can't wait to give it a try!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

You are so welcome!👍

[@MichealBacon]

Thumbs up. This is one of the better videos out there that really covers tying spawn sacs well. Straight up tutorial with no bs. Good job, man, and thanks for sharing.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man i appreciate it

[@deplorablebikersusaanti-an5654]

You always hope your videos will help someone . Just so you know your videos always help me. Thanks .

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man . glad to hear that

[@richd8430]

This was such of an informative video, the best I've seen so far on tying egg sacks. Your tips are great and have helped me catch fish. Keep up the good work and great videos.

[@matteoveneruz9096]

I used this method to cure eggs two years ago, my eggs went through multiple freezes and thaws, and are still great. Just make sure you thaw them in the fridge and put them in the fridge before you freeze them. I just got my first steely of the year today with a bead and these eggs. Good luck everyone and I would highly recommend this way of curing eggs.

[@briantye1350]

Another great video simple and right to the point you tie your bags exactly how I do. I watched your video on feed fishing I'm new to that style fishing but I liked your video best of all thank you very much

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Glad to help👍

[@FoulMouthFishing666]

Thank you for all the great info, I'm very new to salmon fishing gonna try these tips tonight!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Good luck!👍

major pimps in the game :) Ive learned so much from ya'll, wish you lived on the west coast! 5* as always! thanks for sharing!

[@rubenp9346]

I took some tips from your video on roe bag size on muddy waters and boom! I got my first steelhead yesterday! Thanks

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

cool , golf ball size sacks saved more than a few trips for me in high water conditions

[@rubenp9346]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures for sure. I'll never forget that now. Just need more rain and colder weather up here in Toronto,Canada. Planning to go to Burt' dam, maybe I'll see you there. We not allowed to fish any where near the dams here 😑

Another great video,Bill. Thanks man!

[@jeremylamovsky9868]

I just got some salmon eggs for the first time. I need some different color netting. Especially with my local streams tending to be so clear. I was thinking about getting blue because they aren't used too often around here. I'm about to tie a few larger ones tonight as the water is still coming down. If it's real clear I can just go with some beads as I only have chartreuse

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Sounds great! Blue and white are hot colors around here for low clear conditions

[@davidlapointjr.9194]

Nice videos bill. Keep it up.

[@1974topwop]

Fantastic video! Let me add a tip. if you take a fillet knife and run it along the cardboard through both folded sides of the mesh, it precuts into squares for you.

[@FishingPleasures]

Great video. I just caught a couple of nice Steelhead yesterday. One being a big hen, and she was full of eggs. I may give this a try, I kept the eggs.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks

[@sidecaster]

I always tie my sacs with the spawnee machine, looks a lot easier by hand like you Bill, gonna have to try that

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i tried a couple different sac tying devices and found it easier just to tie by hand

[@infinity251214]

wondering if you can let me know how you store them after you tie them up. not so much for tomorrow's fishing but say, a month from day you have tied them. Thanks for the informative video too!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks , i put them in small jars or pill containers and toss them in the freezer - i thaw them in the fridge before heading out and what i dont use i put back in the freezer for next trip

[@infinity251214]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures Perfect. Many thanks!

[@TheDigihax]

Thnx for telling us about what colors to use for different waters like clear or muddy, I can use this info for Catfishing , I wish I could Trout fish in West Tenn but I'm not that lucky lol...

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

👍

[@tomekhaczyk]

Nice tips! In Poland it is not allowed to use natural fish eggs. This tip can be also useful for liver and catfish.

[@TheFisherman78]

Good stuff! Still need to get myself some fresh salmon/trout eggs for this season, but I've got some Chinook eggs from last year that seem to have held up well. hope to see some more videos from you soon!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

+TheFisherman78 thanks , i still got plenty from last year and some from 2 years that held up well in the freezer

[@pierretang3]

Very informative. Thanks. Do we need to add floaters to the spawn sac?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i never do but i mainly float fish

[@pierretang3]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures I see. How many floaters will you suggest to add for bottom fishing

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i would try tying one with a couple and see if it floats wit the weight of the hook - if not another or 2

[@shanehoward9756]

Great video. Have you ever used or heard of using egg sacs for sturgeon

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man , sturgeon are protected here - cant fish for them

[@clarenceElliott-l6n]

Great video what brand and size hook do you like using?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i like raven specimen hooks size 4 to 8 depending on the size of sacks im using

[@clarenceElliott-l6n]

[@geeznation3114]

hey bill and mike! the salmon are slow in the salmon river and my buddies and i wanted to check out a couple other rivers and tributaries any ideas? they are just beginning and i wanted to make sure they at least hook a few... Thanks!

[@heroryan7859]

If I tied some a couple weeks ago can I just leave the sacs in the fridge until the next time I go

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

maybe if you have borax on them otherwise they will get funky

[@heroryan7859]

Great vid dude

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Appreciate it👍

[@troutmasteroutdoors]

Awesome video man👍🏾🎣 I was just wondering if I’m using spawn sacks made with jarred eggs should I store them in a jar in the fridge?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man , i always put them in the freezer and re freeze what i dont use after fishing

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

what size hook you using on the dime size bags??? I would say a 8 ?? are you use an Egg loop to hook it ?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

no loop and size 12 and 14 eagle claw wide bend hooks

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

eagle Claw 024 Wide bend????

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i think its L42 i use

[@tombiga8254]

What is the best to use, the squares or the roll to get max spawn sacs possible?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

about the same

[@kleinboysoutdoors5666]

Interesting video, ever put floaters in your spawn bags

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

no - thats more for bottom fishing

[@briantalbot394]

What's the biggest sized egg sack you use for very stained high water?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

iv'e used golf ball size sacks in chartreuse in muddy water with success

[@bobmagoffin6688]

I love this , ngs thank you sir. I am heading to Bronte creek pier fishing and I PUT 25 EGGS FOR MY ROW , Do you think the Kings will smash my large row, thanks

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i dont know about 25 but i tie them golf ball size for murky water

[@daviddibble3815]

what are better eggs for fall brown trout, salmon eggs, brown trout eggs or steelhead eggs?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

jigs and brown trout eggs , i dont use steelhead eggs

[@dylanbirosh3861]

how do you store the sacks after you tie them. do you put them in a jar?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

store them in small babyfood jars

[@clowbrown9883]

Where do you get you eggs from if you don't mind me asking a response would be greatly appreciated

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

we get the eggs from salmon we catch at oak orchard creek and burt dam

[@j.r.w6623]

So just stream harden them? And then can u freeze in jars or what?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

yes but i salt cure them after the stream hardening - just stream hardening them is good enough for some

[@j.r.w6623]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures how long do you usually leave them in the stream water? You don't want em to be bouncy balls do ya?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

usually around 4 or 5 minutes - dont want bouncy balls but dont want them to turn to mush when thawing either

[@j.r.w6623]

Thanks for the reply brother good fishing looking forward to the next video

[@jacobherrmann8140]

We use brook trout eggs.

[@joshuabaxter2863]

What do you do before you separate them from the membrain?

i mainly use loose eggs out of ripe fish

[@chaotan4610]

Can you please tell me what is size of hook you’re using and brand name? Thanks

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

✌️✌️😊

[@Jfldhr]

Does salmon prefer bigger egg sac ?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

not necessarily , bigger for stained water smaller for clear

nice vudeo! are you gonna be fishing for kings in the streams soon?

Nice. Would love to come fish with u and catch them big boys Fun fun.🙂😁 Are trout rarely get that big.🙂 Wear is this at? Hope it's all catch and release. 🙂

[@Dacolonel79]

Would you recommend buying these cured eggs online and making them myself?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

+Dacolonel79 if you cant get your own eggs then buying the cured eggs might be worth a try but i cant say how good the quality would be - i know some used the eggs they bought from gander mountain and did good - i tyink those eggs were from alaska or somthin

[@Dacolonel79]

+Bill & Mikes Angling Adventures. Thanks for the reply,I watch all your videos! I'm in Erie,Pa. We have tons of steelhead that come in the creeks,but no salmon. I asked because,I've seen them for sale on Ebay. I haven't fished for steelhead in 15 years,and the fishing has changed a lot since then. My local bait shops eggs,were very "milky and moist". Needless to say I didn't wanna buy them again. Take care and please keep making these awesome videos!
