Pink Salmon run in large numbers in Puget Sound rivers during odd years and often show up in large numbers. These aggressive salmon can be easily targeted in the salt, estuaries, and rivers using a variety of tactics. In this video we target upriver fish on the classic bobber and jig rig. Along the way we stumble into a gorgeous summer Steelhead.
Tackle featured in this video:
- 1/4 oz pink marabou jig amzn.to/3k4D6Yv
- 3/8 oz sliding float amzn.to/3nlUQ3M
- 3/8 oz inline weight amzn.to/3z4UYaa

Pinks and whitefish... two most underated fish on the planet. Thanks for your videos!!!
This is the best pink salmon video on the internet
Beautiful spot on the river all to yourselves, fishing with your wife, pinks dialed in……and a bonus STEELHEAD??? Thats one hell of a good day!
I have fished this exact spot before… beautiful spot
This looks very familiar, if it’s what I think it is I can’t believe they’re already up there
I love hearing that drag squeal.
Dude! The steelhead. So beautiful.
Right? Really caught me off guard.
I am also missing them this year! I came to find this video after seeing your Facebook post!
Good size humpies.. and a good days fishing...
Wow!! that’s an easy picking kinda honey hole!! tight lines to you both 🎣🐟🎣🐟
I float fish the Boise river in Idaho like this. It’s pretty productive.
You truly get to fish some beautiful country. So jealous!!!
A gallon of ice cream in a week...? More like a day and a half for me. But, I have to watch that behavior.
Awesome! 😀
Love ur videos, thanks for sharing. Can you explain how and why u put a corkie on top of the float please and thanks
I put the corkie on top because it lets me know that bobber is functioning properly and is fully seated against the bobber stop. If the leader wraps around the bobber during the cast the corky will lay on the water beside the bobber indicating an issue.
@@spiltmilt thank so much H
I guess my secret tactic on pinks is out... ...using clear water tactics for steelhead, on humpies. I use lighter jighead's, though.
Maybe you stole my secret....
Tyler have you tried dipping the little glow in the dark mini shrimps in the coin shrimp liquid? Seems like that would color it well and add some scent
Looks like fun brother! Like from me!
What knot do you use to tie your flour leader to braid?
Uni to uni
Lots of fun! Great your wife gets out with you. You’ve said her name many times, but I’m not catching what it is. (I’m hard of hearing)
Loved the opening shots

Caught 7 a couple weeks ago, fulfilled a lifelong dream of catching a salmon from a river (originally from Texas). Appreciate the gear links in the description! Do you have your weight fixed a few feet from the jig and the weight is free floating up to your stopper?
I use a fixed inline weight. Congrats on your first salmon!
I’m curious why pink is so attractive to salmon. Does it resemble a food item for them?
Salmon have fairly poor vision. Its estimated their vision resolution is about 10x less than ours. However, they do see a broader color spectrum than we do with peaks in the blue and red range. I assume this is why red or pink lures are so effective for salmon because a pink lure in blue water must stand out extremely well.
Don't know exactly, but it may be that pink shows up in the water column, a lot better than other colors. Another explanation may be that the fish strike this color offering, out of aggression, because it vaguely resembles salmon eggs.
Even Coho strike pink jigs.
Looks super fun! Thanks for sharing!
Do you think it's better to bobber fish for them rather than jig when they start turning color? I was out this weekend and had a real hard time getting them to hit my jigs even though they were everywhere.
I do think it is more effective and results in almost zero foul hooked fish.
are pinks called pinks because their meat is pink or because they like to bite pink things
I have often asked that very question.
If they have the humps like that and that color are they still good eating?
Not really
Do you only eat them from the salt water or just when they are fresher in the rivers? Thanks
Salt or fresh arrivals
What part of KS are you from? I’m from there as well, Overland Park to be exact.
Near Wichita
Russian far east they call this fish : gorbusha...💪
Dude, you need to get your wife a net with a longer handle! 😄
She has a back injury that prevents her from bending her back but still insisted that she solo net at least one fish. I am proud of her for doing the best she can given the circumstances.
@@spiltmilt awesome lady 👍
How much can i pay you to tell me the spot?
LOL
Honestly basically any deep hole will be like this during humpy season
