Had a super fun time bank fishing the salt river in this episode. It had been a while since I'd been bank fishing there and instead of floating it on the kayak I decided to hike and wade. I owe a ton to my wife who has a serious fear of snakes for still editing this episode for me. You never know what you might run into and it was not part of the plan to run into snakes, but I ended up getting some cool footage and she was brave enough to still edit it for me. We didn't end up catching anything big, but we did catch several that were over a pound and that is pretty good for the Salt River which is known for holding a lot of little fish. Stick to the end to hear "Jake's Tackle box" and get all the info from what I used to catch all my fish. Thanks a ton for watching and as always remember to GET OUT AND LIVE.

I'm Jake and ever since I was a tiny kid I have been OBSESSED with fishing. The Goal of this channel is to take you along on my fishing adventures both good and bad and inspire you to "GET OUT AND LIVE ", Which is what the G-O-A-L Fishing stands for. Being outdoors and pursuing fish, however that looks, has always been fulfilling and life giving to me and I hope to share a little of that with you.
Awesome video. Really like the format (the plan, fishing, and tackle wrap-up at the end). It helped show me why all I did was get hung up out there the other day. Thanks!
I love watching your adventures. Not only for the fishing, but holy crap that rattlesnake encounter would have had me running outta there! 🤪
Great video ,its been awhile since I fished the salt but now I'm going soon after seeing your adventure.
Addicted2bass2 you should. It’s been really good lately but when it gets cold the bass are going to slow down.
Thanks Jake!! This inspired me to get out to Salt River this morning and I caught one on a buzz bait right off the bat!
@Jared Buckley that’s awesome man! I love the buzz bait bite there. The whopper plopper does great too before all the grass grows up. It is a fun place to fish for sure. Thanks for watching!
that was awesome !!
I learned a ton from this video! Awesome
Mark Larsen awesome man. Glad to be of service.
Dang AZ is beautiful!
I have not fished the river in many years reminds me of fishing black river in its prime many years ago there was nothing like it catching 100 smallmouth in a day with many in the 3-4lb range. I miss those days thx for the video next time I go to Bartlett I won't complain about the size after watching this.
Great stuff
Came here from the Video Creators podcast. Was cool to hear them interview a small fishing youtuber like me
Awesome vid man! Now you’ve made me want to take the fly rod out there.
Caught it Outdoors thanks man! You would definitely catch some fly fishing!
Arizona, where just about everything alive is out to get you. Man I love this state! Passing up the chance to pester any snake is tantamount to sacrilege here, I'm sure of it.
wow what great spots!
ty max the salt river has a lot of good places if you can get to them.
Crazy dude messing with rattlesnakes 😳😆
Mark Larsen haha i was super safe. The selfie stick was like 4 feet long so I was at a safe distance. Just wanted some up close footage😆
Nice catches unfortunately they're all about that size in that part of the river. It is a sweet spot though. Personally I'd rather trade quantity for quality. I subbed your channel man. I support local fisherman in my area. Tight lines
@H8er Maker Thanks for the support!
Just subscribed.
Last time I went fishing here a kayaker asked me if I was catching any ladies 😂
ty max 😂 well there usually are a lot floating by.
Over in Scottsdale near Phoenix, the canal (which is illegal to fish) has monster fish in it. Can't wait until the collapse so I can go get them.
I see huuuuge fish in there almost Everytime I look
I’ve never actually fished the salt river but it looks fun
QuackTheMan you should give it a try sometime. It’s a blast.
Great video, you planning on doing any trout videos out there? I believe they start stacking next week.
allanCvillanueva yes I am planning on doing some trout videos. It can be really good. It may be a few weeks after they stalk it that I’ll be able to make it there though.
That area where you're fishing at Jake would be absolutely perfect for a number six fly rod or number seven with some poppers you would have your arm would be wore out by the time you got back to your vehicle
I’ll have to give it a try when I get a new fly rod.
I've fished this river twice this passed weekend. Both times I've caught 2-3lb bass. A ton of small ones and it's fun. I launched from the tubers exit and went up stream to a couple spots you can't bank fish from.
Jowen Moses it is one of my favorite places to fish. What were you using?
@@GOALFishing it is a great spot to fish. It's my first time fishing there. The small bass make it fun.
Do you use a kayak?
@@johnnnyyuma yes sir.
Is this by the Phoenix international raceway ?
Going to be going there tomorrow and hopefully slay them. Going to try some jerk baits, Ned rigs, crank baits, senkos going to throw the tackle box at them. I’ve been there twice and have caught bass every time. Not only that it’s so pretty. I need to get my kayak out there and try that out.
@Derek Smith all the things you listed should catch em and yes the kayak is awesome! You should give it a try sometime.
Nice video love the acronym. Are you putting any weight on your line?
I take my 4 and 6 year old here all summer to hang out and occasionally fish at coons bluff. Nice to see a video at our hangout spot and good to know we can cruise down from up above. Looks like you can get into more fish up above. Less people on the banks so it makes sense. Might have to take them again soon as I think they allow camping soon if not already. Sweet shirt too. You get that designed for you or do it on your own? I might have to check out your merch wares.
@MarkAndJess it is one of my favorite rivers to fish and I believe they should have started stalking it with trout too so you can go for those too. As far as the shirts go there’s a link in the description to check them out. We got them designed and then we use a fulfillment company that handles everything.
I bet there's some good catfish in there!
@martin waller I’ve never caught one out of the Lower Salt River before, but I’ve heard people talk about it.
👍🏻
Justin Griffith thanks man!
Love my Promax combo!
@martin waller I love mine too!
@@GOALFishing I've lived in the west valley since 2004 and I have never been to the Salt River. I just Google mapped it and I'm going to take a look at it Saturday and check it out. Looks like a bunch of parking areas off the bush hwy where you can park and walk down to it.
@@highwayman1224 it’s a pretty good place. This time of year the water levels are really low. Blue point recreation site is a good spot for trout this time of year. You do need a Tonto pass to use the parking lots.
@@GOALFishing thanks for the info, I'll Google how to get a Tonto pass. Are there any other places to park where you don't need a pass? Sorry for all the questions, but after watching some of your other videos I REALLY want to fish out there especially after seeing you catch that carp!
@@highwayman1224 there are places but you have to be willing to hike a little.
Looks like you found my spot. There's a big carp down there that took 75 yards of my 4 lb mono and a maribou jig.
Ted Greenaway that’s awesome. There are a lot of big carp in there. I’m not surprised he took out 75 yards. 4 lb mono is super light for those monsters. I hope you catch him next time.
@@GOALFishing lol. Just need to use a better reel. 75 yards of 4 lb test is a little bit. Ive pulled giant carp with 4lb test and an ultra light rod.
Fishing pebble beach and maybe coons bluff, wasn’t sure what to use. Thanks for sharing
I am heading out there again today. Take my kayak and start from further down
@Jowen Moses that’s awesome. Let me know how you do.
@@GOALFishing the water is low and a little dirty. Not much biting. Only caught one.
@Jowen Moses that’s a bummer. They must have lowered it for the year. If you want to float it with the kayak you can start at Phon D Sutton and get picked up at granite reef. The verde river usually keeps that part of the river flowing good.
Went out today. I'm newer to the jigging/worms, etc, . Grew up every since a kid using good ole hook and worm. Haven't caught crap yet so I'm obviously doing something wrong. Bought a bunch of stuff at Bass Pro, there's never ending rows of rubber lures... Too much.. Curious if you just tied a standard slip weight above the hook? If you ever feel the need to have an older Marine Vet with ya let me know haha.
This time of year can be hit and miss for bass. The cold changes their behavior a lot. I use a bullet weight above the bait. It’s called a Texas rig. I do show what I use in the Jake’s tackle box portion of the video at the very end.
@@GOALFishing thank you man. Looks like I need to watch till the end instead of getting frustrated that i still ain’t catching them... I’ll be back out tomorrow so we will see
Like your wife, I hate snakes too but still a great video
Shari Boylan I’m glad you like the video! Sorry you don’t like the snakes.
Been using the super fluke and they love it.
Jesse Sardina what size you using?
@@GOALFishing the standard not the jr or magnum. Tried the ned tonight but either they didnt like it or im not good at it only got two. Tied on my fail safe the zman curly tailz and they went nuts. That one has a split belly like a fluke and you can get similar action but also have that curly tail going.
Jesse Sardina sweet man! Thanks. I’ll have to give it a try.
You would catch more fish if you used a braided line with a fluorocarbon leader.
You sir have some big ones messing with that rattlesnake
TheJoeyandrade the camera was on a 4 foot selfie stick so I was being safe.
Yeah I've never caught a fish yet... would love to. My father loved to fish but I never got into it. Is it something i can self teach?
Sinister Smith absolutely you can especially with RUclips you can learn a lot you just have to be willing to put in the time to get experience.
I guess I was wrong, I thought lead weights were banned in Az?
I never been here does it cost money to get in? I’ve noticed you caught a lot of little bass is there any other spots there where you can catch bigger.
@O you need to have a Tonto pass to use any of the recreation sites. There are some places to park for free if you’re willing to hike a little. There are a lot of little fish in there, but there are some nice ones that surprise you every now and then.
Hey I have some time coming up here soon and I am wondering what are the best bank fishing spot's that I can fish there because last time I was fishing there we must have fished the all the way from coons bluff to sagauro lake and still got beat can you help a local angler out bud?
Are you allowed to fish all year around? I'm coming out in a few weeks to see a friend
@Skye Smith this section of the bank does close for a part of the year for bald eagle nesting, but is open until the fall so you’ll be fine. The rest of the river is open year round.
I just moved to Arizona I need some recommendations on the best fishing spots in Arizona
Tristan LaFond what area in AZ are you looking to fish
@@GOALFishing close to Mesa willing to make a 1 hour drive
@@tristanlafond1 the lower salt river is your best option if you like to bass fish. In the summer the yellow bass fishing will be good at canyon lake and saguaro lake. Bartlett is about an on hour to an hour and a half depending on what part of Mesa and it’s usually worth the drive Roosevelt is farther but is still about the same time drive as Bartlett you can just drive faster.
@@GOALFishing thank you
@@tristanlafond1 saguaro looking mighty fine as well. Take out the yak and take a 40 minute drive.
What part of salt river is this? Im new to Az i live in west phoenix moved from texas and been wanting to go fishing but no water
@Francisco Jalomo This is the lower salt river near the goldfield recreations site. With the low water levels this time of year, It wouldn’t be the best place to go. Coons bluff is one of the easiest places where I’ve seen a good amount of fish, but they can be a little tougher to catch.
@@GOALFishing okay bet ty for taking your time to reply. God bless
thats why i dont fish the salt river to many snakes
Hi where aré you fishing?
Jonathan Salvador it’s mentioned in jakes tackle box at the end.
What rod and reel do you use?
@InfiniteBeatzAz currently I am using the Lews Mach 2 spinning combo. I like it a lot. The one in this video is a pretty cheap shimano combo I picked up from Academy when I lived in Texas.
Sweet man. I use a bass pro formula with the megacast rod I got from the combo. It’s a pretty sweet budget set up. Maybe I’ll see you around the salt sometime. Tight lines brother!
Where can I get a GOAL shirt ?!
Artu Huff there is a link in the description if you want to check it out.
Awesome thank you !
Where the location you park at?
At the Goldfield recreation site. This section is currently closed until summer though
Wow you really going to play with a rattlesnake??? It’s all fun till someone gets bit …. That’s the winner of the day’s dumbest video…
New subscriber here. Love your video, we have a similar RUclips channel if you want to check it out, "Hunt and Gather with the Chatters".
