This week Kyle and his buddy Jesse headed up to the Upper Peninsula to fish for Lake Superior Salmon and Steelhead. In the morning, they did some shore fishing for salmon and steelhead and in the afternoon they hiked the river to float fish for steelhead.

Don't ever lose that excitement. If you have kids they will love seeing their dad get that happy and it will be contagious to them. It is proven that when other people smile and get happy and excited it makes the majority smile and share some excitement as well
Beautiful the other side of the bridge. From the lower half of Michigan in St Joseph.
I been to Lake Michigamme and caught some pike and small mouth. I caught steel head in St. Joseph Michigan in the St Joe river. I have family that lives in St. Joseph and Benton Harbor. I love Michigan fishing, never been in late September early October when the salmon run.
Great video definitely some different looking water and good looking fish
I truly believe you could find fish in the desert!! Your knowledge of your area is uncanny!! Great 😃 video,I wish I had known you when I lived up there!! Thank God I found out about the Kamloops on the NORTH SHORE to keep my sanity!Lol
Thank you Lee 😁
I grew up in Au Train and have no idea where y'all are at. Rock River is where I slayed them
What a great video. Eating cohos is my favorite there fantastic on the grill. Awesome steelheading on Superior. Thanks again for all the great videos u do for us!
Thank you Pete! Glad you enjoy them buddy. See you guys this summer!!
The UP has a lot to offer, which includes a lot remote rivers that flow into the Big Lake. Nice steelies!
Agree!
What's up cousin Jesse! Good fishin guys! -Kevin, Linwood
I love the color of your rivers there, just that rich tannic almost red.
It’s pretty cool!
Looks like a great day in the UP. Great video as always.
Great video , love all the aspects you cover with the surf fishing and then the river fishing part added. Please add more videos for this area I really enjoyed it.
I'm up in mackinaw city right now with my family on vacation. One of these days I'd like to fish this area.
Sweet dude!! I’m heading to the U.P on Monday, for 2 weeks. Going to do some surf fishing. You were fricken tearing em up in that gravel hole🤘🏼🤘🏼
Still looks fun. Congrats fellas.
The quality of these vids is crazy!!
Thank you! Glad you like them
Another great video! Always wanted to fish UP there!
I fish Lake Erie from the beach with rocky bottom like that a lot. Seems like a shorter leader with no split works better. Setting the spikes at a lower angle so the rod isn't straight up and down seems to help too. Love the beach fishing content. I'd love to see more of it.
Put your lead on a rubber band, if it gets tangled in the rocks you can just snap the rubber band and your only out an oz of lead
@@tannerbotwright960 i'll try that thanks. been using 2# mono but sometimes it wont break free after a fish is hooked and the fish is ultimately lost
Love it☺️
LOVE your channel! After the first video I watched of your's, I instantly subscribed! Keep it up!
Awesome video man as always
Thanks Nicholas!
awsome guys ~
Loved every minute.
Awesome video
Looks like you are up by iron mountain.
Can you tell me about your Bait casting rod? and what lb line you have spooled?
Never been able to find a real good river for this type of fishing in the U.P. but I know a really good Brooke trout spot. I'll trade you location secretes lol I miss fishing trout and salmon with my grandpa who is now passed. Great video guys keep up the good work 👍
Try a plastic bead on those "surf fishing" rigs, similarly to how you'd rig for floats on a creek (couple inches above your hook). Also try using slightly larger circle hooks (similar to what you'd use for catfish, though go with smaller sized circle hooks) for better hooksets out there. Steelhead/salmon aren't terribly line or hook-shy. They're most interested in the bait you're using. I've hammered fish from shore on Erie using similar methods to you guys. Raw shrimp is often a money bait as well. Give it a shot.
I often get light bites on clear calm days. They hammer better when it’s windy and nasty out from my experiences
For a possible solution to those “short bites”, reduce your leader to 36”, ditch the split shot, and use a smaller spawn bag.
Have to give it a try sometime!
Haven't heard from you 😜 in 3weeks!! Weather much better I'm assuming! Are you guiding alot and do you fish any tournaments?? Hope all is well 😃!
First view and comment! Love your videos bud.
Awsome video can u break down ur surf rod set up length and action.
Most people run 10-12’ medium or medium/light. 10 lb mono main, to an 8lb flouro leader is pretty common. I run 10’6” lamiglas x11 rods. 8lb main, 6lb leader. I also have a 12’ crappie hunter rod I use for surf fishing. I run a 4lb leader on that one…lol
I like the Lamiglas Redline rods, but you don’t have to use anything in particular. Just something with a good backbone to launch the bait out far into the water and a fast/soft tip so you can see the bites.
Hey I plan on heading up to Pictured rocks and camp there for a couple days in July. You think we could catch anything shore fishing?
What bead company do you like to use? Also, any particular reason using a baitcaster over a centerpin? Keep these videos coming.
We paint our own beads now but also really enjoy Great Lake Steelhead Co beads. I like using a centerpin too!
I'm about to head up the thumb.in a day or two and get some fishing in.
Best of luck to you!
Great video as always. What rods were you using for the surf fishing? Thanks
I like the Lamiglas Redline rods. You don’t need anything in particular though, just something with a good backbone to cast out and a soft tip to see the bites!
Its good your releasing the steelhead
20 inch coho is average here in st Joseph Michigan in January but they are funny and plentiful.
When picking a spot do just find a mouth that has fish running into it and set up adjacent? Are there resources to help an ignoramus like me in this regard on the DNR site or elsewhere? Awesome content I love yer enthusiasm!
You have to stay close to your rods so you don't lose them
Third fish in the river looks like a hatchery with a maxillary clip.
Come make an episode in Canada I have ahhvplace on lake Superior you are Welcome and also a summer get away on Lac des mille lac... worth an episode
What spinning reels are you using?
Kyle, don't you dare bring Jordan Knigge to this spot!😆
Went a week early to beat the crowds I see lol
Just curious why you don’t net your steelhead?
Kyle can you recommend a rod and reel for surf fishing?
The Lamiglas Redline isn’t too expensive and worlds well. It doesn’t matter too much which rod, you just want something with a good backbone to cast far out and a soft tip to see the bites. I like the Pflueger President reels!
What month was this in?
Do you sent your beads
Why is the hook like 4 inches from the bead? Wouldnt u want the hook right on the bead?
If you put the bead right on the hook you won’t get as good of a hookset into the fish because the bead gets in the way. I usually recommend pushing the bead 2 inches (about 3 fingers width) up from the hook!
@@AdventureChasing gotcha. Admittingly im a big lake guy and not a river guy, so when the fish clamps on the bead it slides down and then the hooks gets them?
usually they just swipe in the general direction of the bead and get hooked. Sometimes the bead will slide down too but ideally they get hooked and the bead stays out of the way of the hook haha. We have a video on our channel on float fishing with beads, here is the link:

are you Jordans brother??😅😅😅😂😂😂
😂 in spirit for sure
😂😂😂😂😂
Time to start hitting the decaf!!
Nothing like westcoast fish. Real steelhead reach saltwater.
I'm not sure the discription of a Steelhead specifically mentions salt water, just that they are migrating rainbows!! Saltwater is the assumption!! And sorry
Your fishery's in trouble, water crisis,sealions,and gillnetter! Maybe 🤔 a hunting season on sealions, say 10,000 quota,and no gillnetting within 2, maybe 5 mile radius of all inlets and harbors?!
love your and mags show but you need to cALM DOWN
IDGAF how big the waves get... Or if you can surf behind a tanker on the wake... That's a lake... THERE IS NO SURF. You are shore fishing. Stop lying to yourself.
Surf fishing is a technique of fishing not a reference to location!!
😂
its true it is a lake! and stay away from it!
I was there last week for 3 days same set up with no bites🥲
