We FINALLY Went CENTERPIN STEELHEAD Fishing In The PNW!

[@mattssportfishingadventures]

In BC Canada this is all we use for steelhead fishing I couldn’t imagine float fishing with a spinning reel😂😂

[@johnhaut3894]

Best way to fish hands down

[@robbarber7253]

Go to the Vedder river in Chilliwack you'll see tonnes of anglers using spinning and casting rods for float fishing

[@Fairdemand554]

I don’t know why anyone float fishes with a spinning reel when baitcasters exist. Same goes for centerpin. There’s no advantage over a Baitcaster, but there are some things that are worse, not sure why people do it other than to feel fancy.

[@ericsadventuresfishing8832]

wow that was great the guide getting a guide to go fish in cold beer temps with one of the hardest methods and pulling it off on camera. wonderful work as always folks

[@alexclouthier9059]

Gotta get a longer softer rod meant for the centerpin, it’ll help pick up more line on the hook sets and to play the fish when they run at you

[@alltroutdout7746]

That FJORD though 😍, glad to see a centerpin fishing video in the PNW yeeee!!!

[@davidbellefeuille4910]

There's nothing like running a center pin for fishing. I love it I fish Eastern New York

[@jonlobello7151]

Cam, MICHIGAN! I do believe that center pinning originated in the PNW up by Bellingham and in the BC rivers.

[@curtisbrowning4682]

centerpinning is a great way to fish...and thanks to the great shout out to my home state MI! Keep up with the great videos

[@robertmcgaughey1734]

Awesome bought time for low and clear centerpin is the way to go !!

[@snert51]

You v Nick That would be a good one. better practice on that Center Pin ! Learning is half of the battle and the fun.

[@soripete]

It’s about time. Glad to see you guys getting on the pin 🎣

[@merdus69]

Yes! Finally!!!! There's no substitute for those zero slack drifts and split second hook-sets!

[@Fairdemand554]

You’re describing a Baitcaster

[@merdus69]

@@Fairdemand554 They are good, too :)

[@liamraymond2191]

Yessss. Centerpin fishing!!!!!!!!

[@logannewman4532]

Yeah buddy. I've been wanting to see you guys play around with other methods. How about some fixed line content? Try euro nymphing with a keiryu rod. A big trout on a 20 foot long super soft rod is a pretty fun time. Make Jordan do it. It'll be funny.

[@averagesalmonfishermanbc8807]

The perks of centerpinning is that mending your line is much easier, efficient and more sensitive. Once you get really good at it, you can feel for the bites or get a better hookset on a bobber down.

[@Fairdemand554]

Compared to a spinning reel, yes. Compared to a Baitcaster, no

[@stephenpaquet]

@@Fairdemand554 if you feel that way then you just need to get better at Centre pinning. Here in Ontario Center pins have been a thing for almost 50 years. When the fish run at you, you don’t use the handles to turn the real you palm it. 13 foot rod and a centre pin is the most reliable hook up I have ever seen. I almost never lose fish. You just need more time with your rig. If you just commit to one season steady use of a centre pin, rig exclusively. It will solve all your issues. Just my two bits.

[@Fairdemand554]

@@stephenpaquet It does nothing that a Baitcaster can’t do and in fact since it relies on the person to meter out drag that allows a fail point where a Baitcaster doesn’t. So actaully a pin is worse. Does nothing better, and some things worse. Setting a hook in a fish with X lbs of force would make no difference what reel it happened with.

[@stephenpaquet]

@@Fairdemand554 I don’t to see how no drag is a fail point when the fish starts to pull you just let him slip. It’s actually faster there’s nothing to reach for you don’t need to adjust the drag it’s instantaneous just slacking off with your hand you don’t need to reach for a stupid star wheel. I can take up line just as fast with my centre pin as with my 7:1 ratio level wind. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it’s better I’m just saying it’s every bit as good and there’s a certain satisfaction and doing it right, anyways you have fun with your baster. I’m not here to argue with you. I just disagree when you say that level winders are better. I’m only trying to encourage you to try one, join the fun man. It’s not like I don’t have one and do use one in certain circumstances. For me it’s fast deep water where I use it with a slip float. Don’t forget the Rivers you fish might be completely different than the ones I fish, I’m southwestern Ontario Canada you know the Saugeen river the Ganaraska river. Not even sure if you’ve heard of them. Anyways man tight lines. Have a great day.

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

Look into BER float reels you won't be dissapointed.

[@RSW_HOBBIES]

Hell yea! Get ‘em 🍁🔥💨🎣🎣🎣

[@robgrubb420]

the centerpin amplifies the fishing experience for float fishing and you clearly experienced it.

[@leebarnes393]

Good video 😊, great 👍 info!! I seem to remember someone's comments to Kyle about a fish 8#so, kicking his butt! What goes around, comes around! 😆

[@genedavis759]

Ever think of using a Buzz Bomb bumper stop for against the swivel ?

[@AddictedFishing]

Great idea!

[@SteelObsessionGuideServicellc]

That’s what I use!

[@dk78b2a5]

Sweet deal! I see a CPR reel out with you

[@weedhopper]

Pretty sweet video,cam and steel obsession couldn't ask for much more,good looking steelies,good job guys 🤘

[@madmaxtheking123]

Been waiting for this one for a long time! Awesome video!

[@brandongeorge2712]

Sean is the man at filming you guys! Need more like him, who ever filmed the last episode with Nick and Dave had me dizzy! Lol keep up the good work guys!

[@jasonupson]

More Steelhead centerpin videos please

[@grapesoda3921]

Great looking fish great job and that river is beautiful.

[@michaelsaks3610]

You were right Cam, last time you did say if "we" don't catch a steelhead, not "I". I was wrong, you were right. And you definitely got um this time. So glad we aren't losing you to smallies!

[@danm1319]

Was Jason working the addicted booth!? He looks like the stashed and mulleted bro that sold me then beads and hooks that both work well btw!

[@AddictedFishing]

Yep!

[@robgrubb420]

woo hoo have waited so long for these LOVE CAM ON THE PIN!

[@danm1319]

The ol Canadian knuckle buster!!

[@TheSpeyfisher]

I'm a pinhead but you made me crack up! Thanks for the laughs!!!!!!!

[@joesutherland225]

Takes a bite to figure it out.once you do you might never go back to spin or level wind.

[@untamedjames3957]

More of this please! Also what bait do you use when pinning for steelheads?

[@AddictedFishing]

Beads

[@SteelObsessionGuideServicellc]

You can basically fish any bait/presentation you would use under any suspended float!

[@t.r.soutlawz893]

I am from Oswego county NY where we have world class salmon fishing, huge browns(30lbs) amazing steelhead, I like to catch the biggest fish on lightest gear possible.8lbs test p-line green moss mono is heaviest during the salmon run 6lb p-line whole rest of the year .....I absolutely love what you guys do but why such heavy gear

[@weedhopper]

I'd like to see some more 1 v 1s or crew verses crew videos.thanks.

[@huntsman198712]

Did anyone else notice the bobber go past under water in the background at minute 1:56? haha probably hooked to a fish still... pretty funny. Great video guys!

[@silverfoxcraps9166]

About time you took out the pin, its a lot more fun for sure

[@mattstout856]

Die hard pin heads are dying looking at that float set up. 😵‍💫

[@johnchapman6278]

That is Awesome, I never cut my Bobber Stop that long. You're Amazing Mr. Black for sharing Details with us, cause we just don't know the little things that make Fishing FUN...

[@elvaidrexhaj4652]

Try the 13,4 sst. 6-12. That rod is great.

[@mrdan1990]

I use an okuma raw 2 which is what I think you're using. I will upgrade hopefully next season or before.

[@coreycorey2220]

Well Cameron thank you For putting a video out You guys have been promising one for quite a few months Then you finally did it And you even managed to Catch a couple fish And I enjoyed watching you Even though Freezing You guys manage to have fun See you soon

[@stephenegert6532]

Center pins are nice. , very expensive. However it doesn't make any difference in the technique of presenting the presentation of a egg pattern. It's how you feel it. I personally preference the bait caster or a really nice spin reel. I'm sure you can understand. What I have found with the Center pin. , ha. Cut a small piece of feather and wrap it into a # 4 hook , and spring Chinook will hammer it. K. Nestucca River. Hebo Oregon.

[@nicholasyebra1988]

Let’s see cam and nick go head for head on the centerpin rods …., let’s gooooooo

[@tylerlodel4137]

I can’t wait to see him get better at this if he follows through and builds rod and reel coordination with them hook sets. Would help with having a longer rod with mending and not having to leave a half loop ahead of the bobber and learning he can be more on top of his float than hes showing. Rock on Cameron 👍 using a raw 2 knuckle bleeder doesn’t make the game comfortable. Recommend 5 king pin or even investing in a 5 milner makes the difference and for rod a 10 to 20 lb range 8 to 14 maybe. Want to pin that water so bad

[@stephenpaquet]

I agree your thoughts are spot on. I’ve been centre pin fishing for 50 years in Ontario. I didn’t realize it it wasn’t a thing elsewhere. Once you get good at it, the hook ups are way more reliable than any other method. He just needs to learn to palm the real on the retrieve when the fish run at you so he can keep up with them.

[@cbrfishing]

Loved seeing you release that steelie!

[@victoriaxholmes]

Cameron on the pin! That was awesome, can’t wait for Cam’s channel! 🔥🎣

[@imgmakr]

Centerpin is the only way to go! Best way to fight a fish. True mono on mono without any equipment in the way. Oh, and your hand is the drag. Instantly adjust your grip if more or less is needed. And a tip for better hook sets is to mend the line and get it off the water. You have way too much slack in it.

[@Islandstonr]

It’s about time

[@fishon_inpnw]

Now you are the best among addicted crews 👍👍👍

[@Yooper850]

Pinning from the bank is where it is at. The drift you get is so much better than a fly rod, spinning reel , or bait caster. There is a learning curve but once you get it you are hooked. That is why I use a fly rod, spinning reel, and bait caster. 😁

[@Fairdemand554]

The drift is literally the exact same as you would get with a Baitcaster. Are you all floating with casting reels with the brakes turned way up? What is happening?

[@johnchapman6278]

Details are so important ✨️

[@johnh1464]

Well Done Cam- 2 for 3!

[@richbarengo]

Steeeeeeel obsession !!!! 🤙

[@stevensaddler5530]

I find centerpin is more efficient once u learn to fight them with the controll you have almost tight line to the float what do u think the disadvantage of them

I have the Okuma Raw ii as well. And I paired it with a Shimano Clarus 13' Three piece Centerpin rod. Lined with ADDICTED 50 pound braid for backing. If anyone is looking to get into Centerpin fishing, I am willing to sell it. I have used it only two times. Asking only $270, I will throw in a free case for the rod. I'm in Vancouver, WA.
