  • River fishing for Fall King Salmon in Northern Michigan using float fishing setups with skein! In this video, I land what is possibly my largest Lake Michigan King Salmon. Salmon this time of year are elusive, but if you're willing to put in the time it usually pays off.

    Yo, bold move jumping in barefoot! What an incredible fish!
    Future tutorial video idea: we saw your rig, but I'd like to see how you mend your line with a spinning set up for floating skein. Seem a lot of people use centerpin or bait casters, and I struggle with the spinning set up. I have yet to ever get a bobber down tbh, hoping this year can be my first. All my kings in years past have been hardware/spinners, drifting bag/bead(let's be real...flossing), or skein under a slip bobber off the pier. Really want that skein bite this year!

    • @Chiefz

  • @NaturalAngling
    @NaturalAngling 2 года назад +3

    I'd highly recommend changing your bumper leader to mono. Fluoro sinks you do not want your bobber on that. Itll create drag and pull your float down stream faster. Plus when using braid the addition of mono will add some stretch.
    Food for thought and Great fish!

    • @joem8875
      @joem8875 2 года назад +1

      I’ve fished flouro bumpers and mono, there’s no difference when you’re running a 15/20g float. Run either. Maybe if you’re running an 8g in slow water but you’re overthinking flouro sink rate on a rig like this

    • @NaturalAngling
      @NaturalAngling 2 года назад

      @@joem8875 I disagree entirely. If anything the lighter fluoro would mend better. But again fluoros do not float like monofilament. In addition it is proven that the thicker the Fluorocarbon the faster the sink rate. And the added bonus of some stretch is a win win with Monofilament.

      I’ve thought about it man but with how much skein tends to rise because of its buoyancy, adding mono that floats won’t help get my bait down. You’re also adding increased line diameter lbtst for lbtst. I’ll play around with mono to see what’s up tho.. thanks for watching too! Always like discussing this stuff btw

    Hey man I've been watching your awesome videos and I would like to share that type of fishing experience with my son. Until when do you think salmon are in the river or stream? So I can try to schedule a day.
