I like these guys the best because they remind me of what I and my fishing buddy used to do. Their boat is a little better set up and slightly bigger than what we had but man did we have some fun for about three or four years off Scotch Bonnet when the fish used to stage off there in droves in the late 80's to early 90's. The charter guys would be out there and we'd be catching them like crazy. They thought we were nuts because the boat was only a 16 footer but she was stable. The best days we had were when it was rough. One after another. If you have never seen the rods go like that and then fought a nice King, Atlantic, Coho, or Rainbow you don't know what you are missing. Trout are alright but they don't fight like the Salmon that is for sure.
*We tried this out finally yesterday and it worked awesome! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s we put it on our 16 foot aluminum boat and trolled with it. We didn’t catch anything but it was still fun and worked awesome! Can’t wait to use this baby again and hopefully reel in a big ole fish! Very easy to install and set up.*
Something about a diver bite that get's me fired up. Nice job guys. Good luck this year. What port were you coming into at the end of the video? Sure looked like Onekama.
Great video! Could you do a video like you did for Lakers for salmon? How to setup dipsy divers, down diggers, gear, tackle, etc...? I know its a lot to ask, but I think it will help a lot of us novices out there. Thanks!
Great videos JB! I bought a new boat this summer very similar to yours and Im getting it ready for next years big lake fishing. Ive looked very close at your set up with your riggers and rod holders... if you could do it again would you change anything or keep it the same as you currently have it? Perhaps rod holder trees versus pedestal. Different riggers? Thanks in advance.
Good job on the sleeper bites......fast reel and swing for the fence,there is no wait.....wait like some fishermen I know who have reeled in there share of anchovy bones.
your fishing is better than ours up here in AK, yes we have feeder kings in Homer, but our spring fishery sucks now. also we can only fish one rod per person out of a boat . our king salmon are in bad shape. I did hear of an 80# king caught and released in the kenai in July, but I like to ocean fish in the spring.
After eating the fish in AK, you don't want these fish. hahha. trust me. For sure, there have been some really bad returns in AK over the last 10+ years, but that's fishing. I still remember my first experience with a run failure up there and it was ridicously bad. You coudln't buy a fish to put on the line.
You don't want to do pumping when redlining in salmon.. They have soft mouths and a lot of states require barbless hooks so you don't want to give them and slack best thing is is to just hold that rod high up and just real other than that GREAT video
Great footage of your biggest whitetail. Your fishing clips are also great. Getting great footage of your outdoor ventures is also my passion. So much so that I invented and patent BowcamTreecam. I keep all my clips private but would happily share them with you if interested, I also have a few ideas for you that will help your videography, just a couple points I learned which might interest you. But great footage, good for you for following your passion!
I have used the electric and 1050 riggers for many years. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbjBedIFSQ6Y6rp8DrCC_aoWMZI8GUpmH I bought these lake trollers for my 15’ Grumman sport boat and they worked almost perfectly for fishing lake trout. The only negative is that they seemed sticky on the retrieval, so I removed the spool and greased the underside of the stainless steel plate with some lip balm (the only thing I could think to use that I had on the boat with me). Then they worked much more smoothly. I don’t recommend using these down riggers if you’re planning on fishing deeper than 50’ as you’ll spend more time cranking than you will fishing.
I prefer the sound of the reel going ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ over music any day.one pointer i have is i learned from the charter captain , when holding your fish put your ring finger at the fishes ass and hold it with all your fingers hidden behind your fish.Even thou the fish are big it will make them look even bigger ;) As in my picture
Love the small boat salmon trolling. Good job. I would love to fish that side of the lake sometime. Check out some of my videos from the WI side. Racine salmon fishing. "Ain't No Joke" productions. Small boat fishing for life!!!
Obviously you do not know about fishing great lakes. Trolling for Walleye & Salmon have as many rods in as possible. Different baits & different water depths get you most fish.
in california you can only have 1 rod per person. you can pay extra money when getting a fishing license for a second rod. 2 rods max per person. these guys had 6 rods (1:13).

Best salmon video on You Tube. This coming for a walleye and steelhead fisherman

where do u get music for ur videos? are u and the dog going to pursue the king this fall?
What are the specs of the rods you are using? Thanks in advance!
Good job on the sleeper bites......fast reel and swing for the fence,there is no wait.....wait like some fishermen I know who have reeled in there share of anchovy bones.
WHat brand of rods in what action are you using for your salmon rigs? the sensitivity and backbone is awesome
Those are Daiwa Heartland downrigger rods.
Awesome video !! Thanks for sharing

Was wondering where the opening seen is shot?
Curious to know what type of rod/reel combo you’re using
Great video!
I'll be in Frankfort in 10 days. I've been going up there for 20 years now. We have to meet up some time, would be great to meet you.
What type of rod holders are those? They are nice!
Big Jon
man this is making me want to get a bigger boat! what kind of boat you have again? thanks
+m00nchildblues Lund Explorer 1675
Gotta love the dipsy hits!!! Violent!!
What size is ur boat. I have a 16ft deep v with a 60hp mercury 2stroke. Always thought it was too small for the Great Lakes.
16.5' Lund, 50hp. It does fine on the Great Lakes under the right conditions. I watch the forecast closely, then go! If it gets dicey, I head to port.
What are the swivel rod holders that you guys are using?
I didn't really look at everything but both the downriggers and stand alone rod holders are the ones made/sold by Big Jon.
Have you been havin any luck in lake michigan lately, its been slow
Nope! It's been tough.
It's funny to watch people jump for a bite like their lives depend on it lol
What are you using to keep your gopro from moving around in your rod holders?
A clamp mount
Buddy tell me what are some of the rods you are fishing with and length thank you
Daiwa heartland rods mostly. Depends on the application, but downrigger rods are around 8' and dipsy rods are 10'.
Right on! I need a dipsy rod then .10' love watching fishing poles dance :) thank you
sweet video!
what lure are you using
What kind of releases do you run for your riggers
+Joe Picotte I like Scotty's- medium tension.
What go pro do you use?
Looked like Onekema, and out to Barrel Roll
That time again.
Tight Lines!
What sort of lures do you trawl? [sorry for the newb question - no salmon lakes where I am]
Spoons mostly!
ezyroller is it troll?
are you by Glen arbor?
hello I could be mistaken but is that the three sisters in the background 1,
Fish'n Shack What song from three sisters?
Jack Mitchell Onekama MI fishing the barrel. The three sisters are sand dunes.
Smashed em again!
Nothing like a slammin' hit to get the blood going !
What are the songs you use called?
What do you use as releases?
Offshore black.
