  • What's up guys? On today's episode, our pursuit of pinks brought us out to the saltwater. This was my first time fishing for salmon in salt, fishing from a beach or using buzz bombs. What a fun day of fishing though and a great learning experience.
    Special shout out to OMARBASSBROS. I saw him at Cabelas and he gave me the tip on this spot. I always appreciate it when other anglers are willing to share information, it's what makes this community amazing! Thanks again brother!
    Take care guys! I'll catch you on the next one!

    Good job man! Just walk back and drag the fish onto the beach next time! Netting on the beach will lose you some fish!

      I am going to do exactly that. I went out again today and lost another two when I turned for my net. I'm just going book it out of the water and drag em up next time! Appreciate the tip Tri!

    Bush Point was hot this summer! I live just down the street and was out there a lot!
    I love seeing people get so excited catching salmon out there with their families. Such a good time!
    I lost a lot this year but I also caught a lot. Just how it goes even if you’re doing everything “right”.
    Thanks for sharing!

      @@ReelFishingPNW use an egg loop knot with a long enough tag end to snell a second hook on behind it or just tie a hook on with a egg loop knot then use that hook end as your tag end and tie another egg loop knotted hook on in front of it, egg loop knots are super strong, much stronger than a snell or other hook connecting knots, and once you get the hang of it you can tie them in the dark

      @HATINTHEKAT Před 2 lety +2

      And that double hook setup is perfectly legal and really does help keep fish on a lot of the time, and helps with hooking on those finicky pinks that just snap at the end of your buzz bomb, really helps the tap:hookup ratio

    • @ReelFishingPNW
      @ReelFishingPNW  Před 2 lety +1

      I was using my bass setups (7'2 MH with bait casters) but I think any medium or med heavy setup will work. Everyone else that I saw was using spinning reels. Pole sizes ranged from 6'6 to the 10'6 salmon rods, so I don't think you have to be too specific. Rig a 2.5" pink buzz bomb to it and you're all set. The line should probably be 10+ test or higher, but I don't even think the type of line matters. I had mono on one rod and braid to flouro on another and they both got bit.
