      hey i have a question, when you caught that big boy in the beginning of your video, how did you get him to the bank, it looks like you just walked towards him slowly pushing him to the bank, is that how its done or do you have to fight them like any other fishing scenario?

    • @jagfishing836
      @jagfishing836  Před 2 lety +2

      Heres the deal it was a lot of luck.... 1- the water levels were extremely low for weeks so the salmon had to work harder to get through. 2- that day was avout 85 degrees and few days before that were about the same. By the time that fish got to me it was already tired so didnt have much of a fight........ now if it was 60degrees and water flow was average..... it would've been like hooking into a freight train

    Good info for those beginners that venture up for the 1st time. Especially being told from someone who is basically a beginner yourself. It helps people gain confidence that it's possible. Fyi, fly fishermen would agree that, with good polarized glasses you can see the salmon go for their flies and egg patterns. Fish need to eat no matter what their goals! Fish-On!

    Good video brother. I have been fishing up there for 6 years now, and have watched a lot of different techniques from guys on the water. 1st year up was had no idea what we were doing. Spent rough $60 in bait that we were told was hot. After the first 3 hour of work and 1 salmon between 3 guys. I started watching some of the more experienced guys catching fish. A couple were nice enough to explain to us the flossing technique. Never looked back. And I do believe there is a right and wrong way to use it, and you showed it perfectly. See you in a couple of weeks.

    • @jagfishing836
      @jagfishing836  Před 3 lety

      Same exact experience for me, and that was my intention for this video. I just want to help beginners understand the technique. I also understand that its controversial but if you do it right and not set the hook until you actually floss the fish.... the chances of snagging it anywhere on the body become quite small. But i still have so much hate on this video haha 🤷‍♂️

    Haters will hate. I bet some of the comments calling you out HAVE caught them the same way. You are catching them by the mouth, don’t care how you are catching them by the mouth and you have evidence of catching them by the mouth.
    Great explanation, we don’t have that style of salmon here but then again in Colorado they allow snagging of kokes here. Different states different rules you explained.

    I fish the Salmon river every year. Best time to fish the run is about the Sept 25 to Oct 12. I have friends that contact me when fish are running. Cohoes normally fun first then the Kings. This yr the water level is low running about 180 GPM. Last yr was a little tough the run was short. I hooked up about 40 to 50 fish in my 11 day trip. Here is an important thing to know..Do not put a large bait on the hook. If you are using sponge just a tiny piece. Remember if the bait is to big and the barb is covered you will have a hard time hooking up. Your rod must have some back bone..I have seen many rods break when a good fish is hooked. Just a few tips for the run. Oh yeah if you hook up let everyone know you have a fish on..By yelling " Fishon" this way the other ppl will reel their line in. Hope this helps and see you on the river.

Gonna be up there Oct 15th hope more steels will be in at a later date in my hopes lol

    @HuntingJiggingLifestyle Před 3 lety +2

    Little late on commenting, but you are right, the flossing technique is a very good way to catch/land salmon on the salmon river. A lot of people hate flossers, but truly its the way to do it on the salmon river on a lot of parts, like true north angler said in his comment, salmon hit out of aggression, they don't eat in the river they hit out of aggression. Great video, and good luck this salmon season, hoping to see a video on the salmon river this year. Like a lot of other species of fish during their spawn, they hit out of aggression, not to eat.

    When you tie your main line to the barrel swivel, leave a tag line of about 3 inches long and when or if you get a snag the weights will slid off that tag line instead of breaking off your whole set up. Its easier to replace you split shot than your entire leader and swivel.

  • @truenorthangler

    Hi Jag. For us here in Ontario, flossing is considered snagging. Lol. I generally don’t target salmon while they are in the rivers especially in low clear water where you can see them. I enjoy fishing for them at the river mouths where they hit all kinds of lures. I do agree with you, the salmon usually hit out of aggression especially in rivers where they protect their spawning area. Great tips and tricks Jag. Thanks for explaining the regs as well. 👍

      You don’t even need a boat, Jag. Get yourself a medium action rod, about 10 ft in length, spoil up 20 lb braid on a bigger sized reel and go fish the piers and river mouths around where the salmon enter the rivers. I do very well at night fishing glow in the dark spoons as well as crankbaits during the day when they start staging in numbers. It is so much fun when they peel out your line and fight in open water. Try it, you won’t regret it. I also have friends who fish with me from their kayaks close to shore casting for them. I have a few videos from last year salmon fishing the piers and from my pontoon boat and what I use. Hope you try it, it is fun.

      Heavy sport fishing pressure makes Salmon learn quick what is real and what's fake. So flys, spoons, spinners and other hardware are ignored and easily avoided by the fish. You sling out a single translucent fish egg with long leader and apply an aggressive retrieval at the end of your drift and repeat a thousand times.... viola fish on! Not very sportsman like.

Spectacular camera angles, footage, tips, and introductions of high quality are littered through out this one video. Before giving a thumbs down just simply go to the next video.

    I was expecting this video to be a joke. However I am quite impressed. I have fished that area for 39 years and would have loved this information prior to going. You did a great job. Only criticism is it is in the mouth, not inside or outside the mouth. That might get people in trouble. Also they are not 3'-4'. Over 34" is a great fish. In all my years fishing I have gotten one salmon that was 44 1/2" and weighed 42 pounds. Largest ever. Many years runs vary from the average fish being 18- 22 pounds. Other years larger but a 30 pounder is bragging rites for sure. If you do another video please mention etiquette. (EG: letting other fishermen know you are going to be in front of them and also breaking off foul hooked fish so you do not control an area where people can have a legal fish hooked.) Another thing I tell my clients is if you are fishing with spinning gear, use a top mounted drag for palming the spool. Your point about a low drag was spot on but if your drag is at the bottom of the reel you do not have control. Great video. Can't wait to see the next one. Pete Porter- AKA the Fishin Magician.

    Coworker and I heading down to fish the salmon River columbus day weekend. We have a couple questions, what size/type of hooks and what size swivels? We will be using flyrods. Most of this is familiar to me. I lived in Alaska for around 15yrs and fished salmon every summer I lived there. This is the same technique used in AK as well. In my opinion the only salmon species that truly is aggressive and bites on artificial and live bait are cohos they are a blast to catch!! But we are targeting kings for this trip..Informative video..maybe we will see you around in October.

    In case anyone doesn't know. I'd say only about 10% of the kings you will see during the run will even react to a lure or a fly. And only about half of that 10% will take a quick nip at it. Its snagging with extra steps...but it does take some skill soooooo.

I like tonuse my ugly stick gx2 setup because its affordable, get the job done and if you get a huge fresh fish and it breaks the rod youre not 200 bucks down the drain lol. I would use around 12-15 pound main line and 8-10 pound leader. And as for hooks i like tonuse #2 octopus hook.... just make sure youre within the legal tackle which i mentioned in the video. Also a great spot to get hooked up with the right gear is a store called fat nancys right in pulaski

    • @jagfishing836
      @jagfishing836  Před 2 lety

      This is from DEC website: New York State passed legislation that will prohibit the sale of certain lead sinkers. Beginning in May 2004, the sale of lead fishing sinkers (including "split shot") weighing one-half ounce or less will not be permitted...... however, i cannot find anything that says using them is illegal or prohibited. Now when it comes to the two types i see lots of people prefer lead. The reason being is that lead looks more natural(like a rock) and not shiny like tin so the fish wont spook as easily. That being said, its a gray area. Play it how you feel fit. Thabk you for watching the video and hope it helped out a little! Tight lines!

      have your regular leader, ya..... then put a small barrel swivel on that, then tie 4 feet of tippet on that. what the rules are saying is, don't put a swivel or weight on the last 4 feet of your line. think about it, a spin fisherman has a spool of line 200 yards long, what fly fisherman calls a leader isn't what a spin fisherman thinks of what a leader is. the leader to a spin fisherman is the 4 feet of smaller line
