VERTICAL JIGGING for King Salmon - Lake Michigan 2020

[@Chiefz]

Come jig some Kings with me! www.chiefztrips.com

[@chevyheavy79]

Was that in ludington? Looks like the ss badger in the background

[@scottcolquitt2073]

Hey guys great video! Were you jigging off the bottom or above or both?

[@Chiefz]

Close to bottom!

[@miadventures2800]

Had a blast up there dude cant wait to go again!!

[@daltonbyerley4762]

Give the FG knot a try, for your fluoro to braid. Allows a longer leader you can easily reel through the guides. And maybe a San Diego jam for your leader to jig. Does wonders out here in soflo

[@craytum6945]

Excellent. Thanks for all the work put forth to make us drool!!!

[@lukebouwman7271]

That awesome dude we slip are fishing boat at ludington and have tried jigging but with no luck.

[@chrischlystek3825]

Where on Lake Michigan? Are you jigging for them while there staging?

[@UnfiItered]

Anywhere inside the pier head, just have to mark them on the fish finder before you start fishing. If you're just randomly jigging and there's no fish, you ain't catching fish.

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

What a riot! Kings on light tackle!!! Nice!

[@bryanrausch1152]

truck looks cleannn👀, vids are killing it man you're on the up and up

[@midwestoutdoors9395]

This looks way more fun than trolling!!

[@Chiefz]

Gotta try it at least once!

[@bigbelly1975]

this makes me smile

[@ReelMichiganAnglers]

Wow I’m gonna add that to the list of things to try this year...

[@lady5159]

Yodel Yea Eh! Great share Cheifz your nailing it, going to be an awesome year👍

[@howdyrogue]

just went fishing last night, had to check out the video

[@DFobs666]

Nice Kings man! And that song you use is one of my favorite instrumentals🤙🏻

[@hendrickjannenga4842]

This is an awesome video, well done. I have been hoping to fish Lake Michigan to troll salmon but hard to find a weekend with nice calm waves. I have a boat about the same size as yours - looks like you have it setup to troll for salmon as well. jigging for them seems like a great alternative to trolling, if only it was that effective year round!

[@jacobwinn5409]

Used to do this up by the Medusa plant in Charlevoix in the bay. On spoons called Locos. Very effective! Gone down hill with the weir being closed up. Great video buddy!

[@funnynader9149]

I fish up there all the time but never caught a salmon do you have any spots you recommend around the Charlevoix area?

[@Saf_]

That fish is a beast!! God damn!

[@evanparkhurst1016]

Heck yeah man! Hog hunting!! Nice work!

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Jigging for salmon so much fun . We do some of it here in the Pacific Northwest. Great vid 🔥

[@jam1324]

Love my symetre reel! Good to know it can handle 20lbers as well lol. Nice video, thanks for posting!

[@pensnut08]

Time for a bigger net lol Nice video!

[@mireeladdiction620]

Looks like a great time man I haven’t done that yet but it’s on the wish list.Nice catch!!!

[@tonyvang2127]

How deep do you guys usually jig?

[@truenorthangler]

Sure looks busy out there with boats. Never tried jig fishing before, we usually cast deep divers. I will definitely try this on Lake Ontario. Looks very productive.

[@Chiefz]

You’ll hammer them if the main lake sets up right when they’re staging. Good luck man!

[@BentRodsTackle]

If you don't mind me asking, where about is this? I've wanted to try on my bass boat, but I don't wanna sink it in the great lakes trying, but where you are looks calm! Excellent fish though! :D

[@austinherbert3417]

I’m not going to spot drop where exactly that’s at but what I will tell you is that you can jig for salmon like this at the mouth of rivers, between piers, and any harbor that gets a salmon run. You wouldn’t have to run out onto the big lake at all and there’s quite a few guys who do it from bass boats.

[@charlesronk2989]

I plan to be one of those bass boats. Lol This is a dream of my sons and mine to tie into these kings on some light tackle. Well we have 30lb test braid on bass fishing bait cast rods. We went last weekend but were way to early. We will try again further north at the end of the month.

[@webso5]

@@charlesronk2989 I too am hoping to get there in the next 4 weeks. Love these videos - very helpful for those of us out trying this for the first time. I'm about 4 hours away down in Ohio and love walleye fishing but htis looks amazing!!

[@CramyGamerOG]

Hey man it’s really nice to meet ya man 😄. Love your videos

[@AddictedAngler]

those were some nice catches

[@brandonclements1731]

Hold the net back with your other hand. It will help in netting fish when you stick it the water.

[@nloutdoors9287]

Literally dropped the vid then lost music had go make a hotspot lol! great vid!!!

[@Buzro]

Love these videos

[@GrassLogic-fe9le]

Damn that looks like fun!!! sick video guys. I have to say though, you can't be pulling them out of the water for that long and laying them on the carpet if you intend to release them. Once the slime gets rubbed off, they're bound to end up with infections/wounds...it's definitely not the right way to catch and release.

[@Chiefz]

Mitch Hatfield I agree. My hen was harvested so I wasn’t as concerned, but the first fish was foul hooked and we could’ve definitely done better. We were playing for keeps because we needed eggs. I’ll be more mindful moving fwd

[@GrassLogic-fe9le]

@@Chiefz No worries champ, we've all been there before lol. You guys have a great energy out there it seems, and appreciate you taking the criticism well. You get a sub from me!

[@tannertimothyphelps4268]

Congrats man

[@jasonallred272]

What was the time frame when you were out jigging?

[@Chiefz]

late July to September.. all depends on lake conditions

[@joshuavanderschaaf5145]

I've been seriously curious about doing this. I'm not going to let the cat outta the bag but I recognize that boat in the background. I have a couple of the jigs y'all are using. I'm really thinking about heading there on Saturday with the boat and see if we can land a couple kings. Great video again man. You always kill it on your videos great job and keep fishing.

[@lauranblack5036]

Look at all the boats around lol people have been flocked there for weeks this is no secret

[@joshuavanderschaaf5145]

No it's not but I'm not going to say where it is on you tube. I have places I fish that there is a lot of other people that fish there as well and I wouldn't appreciate someone telling everyone where it is. Someplaces are very recognizable and some aren't. The locals can get really upset about that stuff.

[@lauranblack5036]

@@joshuavanderschaaf5145 that's very kind of you.. but if they don't already know where this is from the vid I wouldn't be worried about them

[@geostrong3606]

What king jig u u se thk

[@taylorholz911]

Thanks for releasing them bro! 🤘Me and the wife love to fish steelhead and salmon and we strictly release them even though people look at us crazy but I feel people need to conserve these fish more than they do to protect the numbers we've been fishing the pier constantly there but haven't smacked anything yet hopefully soon though!

[@Chiefz]

Taylor Holz trust me I get heckled for it whenever people see me let them go! I ended up keeping 1 fish in this video for the use of skein so I could catch salmon in the rivers. Outside of that I’d argue 95%+ of my fish are caught and release strictly for fun. I admire your approach heavily. Thanks for watching 👍🏽👍🏽

[@taylorholz911]

@@Chiefz man forget other people if it's the right thing to do then it is instead of some super ego crap of carrying your fish off the pier I get feeding your family here and there and respect that but some people do it just to do it and that pisses me off these fish have to start being protected and appreciated more unless we won't see them nearly as often unfortunately.

[@be5575]

9 out of 10 times the king's die from being stressed out from the fight...

[@taylorholz911]

@@be5575 I've successfully revived dozens of kings and plenty more skams and steelhead as long as the waters cold enough and you make sure they come to fully they always make it now if the waters warm yeah most of the time they won't make it.

[@trakemaker]

Hey man great video. Love those Lina jigs but the hooks that are on them are straight garbage. I went 2/14 one day in Frankfort. Changed my hooks to gami’s lost significantly less fish. Keep it up tight lines buddy

[@Chiefz]

Agreed. I swapped all mine out with VMC trebles before I even ran them. Glad I did, the stock trebles looked a little rough haha. Thanks for the comment
