That first fish was crazy.... wow. Tail walk? ✔ Huge jumps? ✔ Absolutely incredible. I've only got one summer run here in Washington like that this year.
That was a killer day. Could you send a link for your rod/reel/ bobber set up? Thank you for some awesome vid.....who cares if it was on a phone...it was pure epic bobber down!!! Great job. Can't wait to see more.
Preciate it! Sure was a good day. And yea we have a video on our channel about the set up. Believe it’s called how to pier fish steelhead. It was posted this summer. Lmk if u can’t find it
It looks like tons of fun, guys! Let some come down here at the Southern tip of the Lake. We can't wait to get 'em. Temp. is still in the 70s over here.
I'm still laughing,,,,what a great time you guys had,,,,and just think in MC ,,,they are just starting in GR and Muskegon...have to try this from the boat and relax,,, So cool
Because in Oregon at least the steelhead are native and endangered. Besides the hatchery fish of course which you can harvest. The Great Lakes have insane numbers of these non-native fish and it’s not like they are hurting an endangered species
@@williambrunjes1301 Our steelhead here in Oregon are not endangered, our fish and game department are a bunch of educated idiots. I live on the main Umpqua and between two of us we put over 20 in the net and list a bunch more in 3 weekends of fishing last winter.
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 Have been watching you boys since about day one. Straight shooter vids off the cuff and unedited...just the way they should be. Please do as many pier trout/ salmon drops as you can. So nice to see lots of coverage on a tactic that is so common...but seldom anyone covers. Lord willing, coming up in 24-25 to bust some lips. Y'all keep it real...love ya man.
@@floatdrop5243 you can't 'ruin' tribs either.. but you sure as hell can over crowd them. Same as piers. They're migratory fish they'll be there regardless of how many people are there. It's whether you get to fish by yourself or with 100 other people. Idiots naming spots like you doesn't help
andrew grahm Also if your gonna film the whole pier giving it away and then lie to your fans when they ask if it was Joe, ( which btw is obvious), then you’re gonna get called for lying to ppl who support you... don’t want it named don’t film, simple as that
@@FishinPA keeps the float in the same spot so it doesn’t blow into the pier. Bait is suspended since the swivel with the leader to the bait sits on top of the bobber
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 overall great content and I love the video. Just giving you a hard time. Do make sure to keep that rod bent to make sure you aren’t forcing the line to take on all the action. Drag helps too but you’ll lose less fish with a good proper bend. Tight lines!
@@ZenBJJ10p A bent rod is favorable at all times, EXCEPT when the fish is running. While the fish is ripping drag, pointing the rod at the fish will actually loosen the line tension and lessen the chances of breaking off. Think about it this way.. if the line is being pulled from the spool, then it's at the max tension which your drag will allow. A bent over rod can only add more tension to that line. Between that added tension and any potential friction from the eyelets, it becomes much more probable that the line will break. As a rule of thumb, always drop the rod tip during drag-screaming runs.
@@thrizzy5 interesting concept. I’ll try it. But I just lost a big steelhead doing that. I feel like the rod helps take the tension of the fish off the reel. Not add to it. But In theory your concept makes sense. Will have to read up more.
Love the videos!! Had my chance at one in Grand Haven, got away from me.
Ordered some more of your performance shirts, we love them!!
Daggumit you’ll get em next time man. Glad to hear you like the shirts tho thanks for supporting! Tight lines 🤙
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 can you show how you rig up your pole for these steelhead bobber .sinker etc

You know you’re from Michigan when you pickin up meijer brand Shrimp 😂🤘🏻

I think I had as much fun watching as you guys did catching! Great video
Always fun to get on a good Skam bite. Thanks for watching!!
Hello from the north west. If you use Columbia basin shrimp I guarantee your catch will double. Tight lines
Good to know. Thanks man tight lines 👍
That was sick action!
I missed that day dang.
Bobber down boys🤘
Toss those Steelheads on the smoker.....Definitely some great eating off the smoker pit. 😍
Agreed!

You guys are lucky you get to keep five out here in Oregon we only are allowed 1 sometimes 2 if we're lucky.

Yo actually youre only allowed to keep 3 rainbow trout/steelhead over 15 inches
What are you using for main line? They broke me off twice on Berkeley 12lb xt
Just 10lb mono big game
What month are you fishing in ?
This dude out there fishing with cooked shrimp and it works lmfao

Wow incredible, I'll be there right out of South Haven 27th of August till September 11th
What a freakin epic day. Y'all smoked em!!!

@@craytum6945 🤘🏼❤️
Looks fun! Thanks for the video!
What are you using? And how deep do you think they are in?
Hey partner love the @ name. Ain’t nothin like good ol kentucky coleslaw. And we’re using shrimp about 8ft down
What peer is this at ? Are they still biting now that the cold front is done?
Is this in the spring? Do you have better luck with shrimp than spawn sacs?
Summer. And yes better with shrimp
Great stuff guys thanks! Would you use the same setup for spring run Steelhead at the piers?
Yup! I’d run skein or bags instead of shrimp tho for spring run. Besides that everything else should stay the same. Tight lines!
I new someone had to have got on them with the temps this cold this last week. Way to get em man
Preciate it man. Sure was a goodn
Is This benton harbor mi
Is this the south haven pier?
oh ,,,what were the bobbers you were using....such fast action couldn't see,,,lol get to smokin those boys
Not even sure of the brand. Their just some cheap slip bobbers we found at a bait store. Just about any slip bobber will work
What pier are u on if u don’t mind me asking
What pier is this
I'm from St. Joe. Great vid boys. I really miss the Lake!!!!You guys are having way too much fun!!!
Thank ya! They sure are a good time
You guys slayed this was sick
Preciate that man🤙
You need to keep your rod tip up to strain on your line
Those are some feisty steel head! Do you get a lot of clipped fish or natural fish? Way more active then the river! Looks fun!
Pretty good mix of both. Skams definitely have something special bout em tho. Always fun!
where does the bait sit? I dont understand the set up . nice catch!
Suspended in the water column. Thanks!
How do you know when best time to fish for them
Cold water and bait near shore
Badass guys.
Thank ya much
Love this type of fishing but hardly get to do it out here in NY. Maybe next summer I’ll have to make my MI trip early.
June-July is definitely the best time for skammin round here 👍
I know this vid is 2 yrs old but am gonna ask anyway. Does the shrimp bait work all year or is that more of a summer thing?
All year, best in summer tho
Loved this video!! I am pumped to go after some steelies! Which bait was the best?
Glad ya liked it! I prefer shrimp for bait
Does Your shrimp have the shells on them
Ya
What month of the year was that? Great video guy's!!!
January-November
How many rods could you have out in your area?
3 a person
How did you do your rig
We have a video on it check it out n lmk if ya need anymore help 👍
Can you use this same set up in Allegan Dam?
Naw wouldn’t recommend it. We got a vid on how to drift fish and that’s how we fish there mainly
Awesome video! How you rig that setup? I would like to try that on the west side of the lake. Thanks!
Yup we got a full rig run down video on our channel if u wanna check it out! Thanks man
I am gonna go looking forward to viewing ! Thank you!
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 can you may be send me link of rigging. Can I search for it? Not sure exactly how to do. Thanks in Advance

@@sbsoutdooraction3055 what size reels?

Love it
Thanks! Gotta love a good pier beat down
I’m from Muskegon I’m trying to fish with u and catch some and make a video also I never used shrimp in fresh water
We're about in Michigan are you fishing
South central area
@@floatdrop5243 you complain about them ruining rivers then name the spot they're fishing.. whats your problem lol

andrew grahm lol, clearly you’ve never fished surf or pier.... all conditions dependent it takes multiple seasons for guys to catch on lmaoo
andrew grahm Also if your gonna film the whole pier giving it away and then lie to your fans when they ask if it was Joe, ( which btw is obvious), then you’re gonna get called for lying to ppl who support you... don’t want it named don’t film, simple as that
Can I fish 🎣 in the summer?
Yes!
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 I when for 10 hours and there was nothing 🥲
Where is this pier?
Off of Bullbilly lake.
them giants are the best eating. lol.
They all taste purty dam good outta the lake like that
thats a cool spot
Florida boy here. In another video you said you were using shrimp. I assumed it was some sort of lure or bait not REAL shrimp. Lol
Lol yup west coast fish stocked in the Great Lakes. Love cooked shrimp
Pretty exciting and some nice steelies! Been there twice, skunked both times :) How deep do you set your bobber at if you don't mind?
Always a good time. N they vary from about 4-10ft
Just subd love your videos bro
Preciate it thank ya for watching! 🤙
why would u put a 3 oz pyramid under the float?
To keep it in the same spot
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 so does it sit on the bottom with the bait or does it keep the float in the same spot?
@@FishinPA keeps the float in the same spot so it doesn’t blow into the pier. Bait is suspended since the swivel with the leader to the bait sits on top of the bobber
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 well you catch fish so it does the job👍🏼
You NEVER say what time of year it is... what month what day? Nothing
The way that dude let’s the rod straighten forcing all the tension on the line stresses me out haha 😂
Good thing that drags loose I guess 😂
