Mooching for Chinook Salmon
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- Point No Point (Hansville, WA) is one of Puget Sound's most productive spot for salmon fishing. Salmon feeds on bait fish from the rips and swirls at the point. This is a popular area for mooching and jigging.
Starting from 1:39 of the video, the fish finder was showing fish at the middle of the water column (~40-50ft @ 80 FOW) as I was reeling up. As I reeled up to 55 ft and checking the line counter, I decided to change the bait's direction of travel by pedaling the Hobie Revolution 13 forward. Within a second, I felt a gentle tug on the line. The rod loaded, then I set the hook. When drift mooching, I would normally reel in quickly at this point before setting the hook. I did not feel the need to reel quickly in since the forward motion of the kayak accomplishes similar motion.

Excellent video! Suspenseful music and everything. A lot of people don’t realize how hard it is to net one solo on a kayak. Great job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I fish by myself from a 17' Whaler quite a bit. Netting a fish by yourself can be a challenge and a bit stressful. You take it to a whole nuther level from the kayak. Nice fish. Congrats!
I appreciate your kind comments. Thanks for watching!
It was so nice to see you at point no point today. I am learning a lot from your CZcams. Thanks!!
@OneChat - It was good to meet you. Thanks for watching my videos.
Thanks for the video! Thinking about going out for blackmouth in a bit and will probably try to mooch.
That's the great thing about the Hobie Miragedrive....you can put it in reverse, and can help you gain control of and fight a fish.
Hi, good to meet you! I was the other Kayaker on Shilshole bay this week and we have been fishing the same time.
Nice meeting you, Bing.
nice one! I'm hoping to get my first chinook from a kayak this summer, mine is a sit inside kayak. keep the videos coming.
You can do it!
Bravo! Nice documentation of my favorite way to catch salmon.
Approval from the master moocher! 👍
Thanks, Mark.
That looked like an epic battle! Nicely Done
Thanks, bro. It was a fun tug-o'-war.
Great work as usual!! 🎣👍
Thanks, C.
Great fight! I've netted many a 20 plus Chinook from my Hobie Outback and I've never had to side saddle my kayak. Not the safest thing to do but if that's your method fish on! Just be careful it doesn't dive and pull you over! Awesome fish! Congrats
Really enjoyed the video, thanks! And thanks for showing how you had your bait rigged and what depth, etc. Very helpful.
I appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching. 👍
Love the video, netting it is crazy. Nice meeting you at Shilshole yesterday! See you out there again. Jon
Nice to meet you too, Jon. See you there!
I like your style and mooching is so much funner and sporty than starting at a rod tip trolling=boring.
Yes, I agree about mooching. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video!! Well-done...
Thank you. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.
Man nice job... Those kayaks are so impressive
Thanks!
Epic job handling that fish from a kayak in traffic and current! I think I fished next to you there in the last week or so from my Parker.
👍 Thanks for watching.
Wow! Very nice sir!
Thanks.
Great video! Thanks for that.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great video !
Thanks!
Amazing fish and great technique!
Is that Point Robertson?
Glad you liked it! It's Point-No-Point.
That's a beauty...
Great video! What type of reel is that you are using? Hard to find good line counters in left hand retrieves
Okuma Cold Water Low Profile 354
Awesome catch man! Hope to see you out there. I'll be in the Big Fish 103 by 3 Waters. Can I ask, was this in August. Just got stationed here last July and didn't get a chance to hit the salmon run. except for Chum later.
It was in July. Say hi if you see me out there. I'll do the same.
@@PixsterTime Where do you get your Herring at
@Outdoor Product Review - Outdoor Emporium in Seattle or Sportco in Fife (North of Tacoma). I usually use "green label" (size) herring.
Awesome job sir! I fish out of a Hobie as well, PA14. Just move to WA, going to fish for Salmon when I get a chance. Can you explain your setup, rod, reel, line and hook etc..?
Rod: Lamiglas G1308-T
Reel: Okuma CW-354DLX
Line: Izorline Platinum mono (main - 20lb, leader - 12lb)
Hooks: Owner barbless no escape 3/0 (2 hook mooching setup)
Weight: 4oz cannonball on a slider
@@PixsterTime Thank you so very much for giving me your setup.
Can you explain the herring rig a bit more? Looks like a single hook through the mandible then back into the head above the eye socket? Is the other hook just free hanging in the back? What causes the spin in this rig? Great videso!
Yes. Yes. The way the hook is positioned, pulling the rig through water; the head causes friction and imparts the spin. Hard to explain, so just set it up and watch it as you drag it through the water. Thanks for watching.
Is there a Chinook season?
What kind of knot did you use to your hook. It looked interesting.
@Outdoor Science Dad - egg loop knot.
I had an Outback and did not know you can out the drive in reverse. What year is that boat. Mine was maybe 2013.
@Stephan Rothman - I think the reverse feature was first introduced in 2017 Hobie kayaks.
epic
Heading out for pinks and silvers this year?
Of course! 🎣🎣🎣
How about you?
@@PixsterTime I will do my best to get out there as much as possible!
I went out to skunk bay/point no point today fishing and only saw 1 salmon caught around 3pm and left like at 7 because the it was slack tide and the flounder stopped biting.
@Tiffany Welton - thanks for the report.
I would never use a fish finder. So cheating and takes the technique and fun out of it. Feels un-sportsman like. but hey great video nice fish
Thanks for watching.
This is a complex place to fish with or without a fish finder. He makes it look easy, but there are crazy currents with changing tides, and seaweed everywhere.
