Glad to see you guys out last year. The fishing was unbelievable last year! Hopefully it will just as good this year. Keep up the good work on the videos and hope to see yah in the area this summer
Can you advise on jig size and colors? Fish Lake Michigan and love to try something new. Trolling can get so boring, particularly frustrating on those days marking fish and doesn't trigger a bite. Like to add this to my arsenal and get into hand to hand combat with a nice King.
@@ReelWestCoast I've seen guys in float tubes out there. I do get a giggle out of the guy who rows out in an wood old dory, jigs and catches just as many fish as guys in $$$ rigs. ;)
holy crap that tyee was a stunning fish. nice job on the treatment, probably made it to the spawning grounds or caught again. what kind of rod were you using? looked like a dedicated jigging rod, but not of the halibut variety.
@@ReelWestCoast Gotcha, I thought it was a way to keep em on better. I've recently discovered jigging for springs down here in SVI, but am looking for any trick to keep em from coming off so much!
@@slacktide_angler try replacing the trebles with a good, strong si-wash hook, like from gamakatsu, vmc, or owner preferably, then instead of using the split rings the jigs come with, take them off and use 65lb plus braided line to make a “braided line split ring” salt strong has a good video on how to tie it, it’s super strong and probably even less visible than a split ring, and it prevents the fish from using the metal split rings as leverage to pop the hook out of their mouths,
@@HATINTHEKAT thanks I'll give it a try. I'm using assist hooks with Dacron right now, and it seems to be ok, but would like the hook closer to the jig
@@slacktide_angler yeah you can control the “braided split ring” gap size, you can make it bigger or smaller, I wouldn’t go smaller than say a pen or an average sized screwdriver for the tool you’ll use to determine the gap, still need some space to give it that free spinning action, but I agree with you on the Dacron assist hooks, they’re a bit long, but still very effective, there’s some Cornish fishing channel that explains how to make your own assist hooks like gamakatsu sells, in case you wanna save a massive amount of money on assist hooks lol 😂 good luck with the split rings though, I haven’t had them fail on me so far, and that’s just with some leftover 50lb suffix 832, I imagine 65 or 80lb braid would be even more dependable,
Watched my first video of yours a few weeks back and actually took your advice and bought all the Gibbs Delta jigs. I have caught a kings jigging for herring but never directly targeting them. Do a lot of trolling with downriggers, flashers, hootchies, herring and spoons. Just watching and learning differing techniques from other pro anglers. Question just for reference. When do you determine when you troll, mootch or jig for kings? Thanks and I will keep looking for more great tips and videos.
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you haven't yet! Often we will set out with mooching, trolling or jigging in mind so we will find a spot or use local knowledge to go and do it. It also depends what you're seeing on the electronics. If you're seeing a large bait ball and marking a lot of salmon or getting hook ups in the same spot then switching over to jigging would be a good idea. Unless there are other boats targeting the same spot you don't want to setup for jigging right in the middle of their tac.
@@ReelWestCoast Brother... When you and Willie fished in peddle canoe's for hali.. That Was Fkn Epic shit..... A few F bomb's dropped, That's all part of fshing with brother's and handling "But's" sitting down Fkn A
What Exactly is the GPS location of your spot!!! Lol Been on the Island 4 years and have not wet a hook.... ! You ever need a hand let me know what I can do to tag along!!
Reel West Coast ok got it!!! Good to know. Also one thing that I think I just recently understood is the term Springers those are considered all chinook up there right? Well down here in WA/OR a Springer is a chinook that comes home sooner than most they are usually big and have lots of fat content as they have a long way to travel up river so they load up on protein before they make their longer journey to the spawning grounds. They are starting to enter the rivers now. Considered to be best tasting chinook there is.
Wow! No flashers no nothing. Just you and the fish. Awesome!
Makes for a great fight for sure!
"Hopefully its Chomp Chomp" That was an epic looking day!
Epic day for sure! Chomp chomp is an understatement
Nice Fish! Got into jigging off Thrasher last spring, what a riot!
We're definitely going to be doing it more!

Thanks for watching. Hope to see you on the water as well, tight lines.
Discovered jigging 3-4 years ago. We NEVER come back without fish. My girlfriend from Brazil, who had never fished, has become an ace jigger.
It’s definitely going to stay in our arsenal as well!
@@ReelWestCoast nothing like having your hand on the rod when it strikes!
@@maxglide where in the puget sound can u jig for them
@@rushintofishin81 Hey there... sorry I only fish up around Texada, Pender Harbor. Next week we are going to Barkley Sound
Hard to beat Salmon. My personal favorite.
Love jigging. We jig salmon,striper,halibut. Pacific coast and delta.

Can’t wait for my Weldcraft to arrive and hit the waters. Making me crazy watching your videos. Great job.
Thanks for watching!
I make salmon jigging lures.... currently, I have 8 different styles...and they are killer salmon jigs...
Love those underwater shots
Same! Sometimes it’s a gamble if they’ll work out or not. Tough to predict where the fish is going to go!
I don't see my boat in the background :( This area turns in to bumper boats once word gets out the Chinooks are in.
Especially when you add a few kayakers! Worth it though, we had an incredible trip.

what kind of rod were you using? looked like a dedicated jigging rod, but not of the halibut variety.
Thanks for watching! We love releasing big fish and letting them do their thing. We were using Saguaro spinning rods with Stradic spinning reels.
Nice fish and excellent releases! Thanks for sharing!
Hey man thanks so much for the awesome video what pound test do you recommend I use and what type of line
Awesome. I notice you're running a barbless treble with one of the points cut off. Does that help land more fish?
Barbless is required where we are and as for the broken hook, that’s just being lazy and not switching out when the bite is on!!

You guys need yo be jigging flyrods. I guided there 23 years.
What month was that???
Good vid.
4 people gave the vid a thumbs down?? Maybe they thought this was a cooking show, LOL.

This was in August! Thanks for watching!
Maybe tell that dude he's using his spinning rod upside down.
#doesntmattercaughtfish
@@ReelWestCoast lol might as well go to the spot in reverse with that logic
nice jigging! what size jig? 5oz? and what's you rod/reel/line setup? thanks!!
Nice vid. Here in Washington, we have to do it barbless.
Same in BC, Canada
Right On Mo............

Awesome, thanks for watching!

that boat is a beutie wish i could go out with u guys one day on the beast
There may be some giveaways coming soon that will give that opportunity, just depends on COVID restrictions etc. in the summer. Thanks for watching!
@@ReelWestCoast of course well hopefully i can get that

It’s a pretty common spot! Try and get out this summer if you can.
That is a beautiful boat .
We think so too
What date was this?
Late August 2020
nice job
Awesome!!!!!!!!!
Ok need a Canadian language lesson. So what makes it a tyee? I thought all chinook could be called tyee?
Great question! A tyee is considered 30lbs or over.

@@Mrscottyboy4 Yes, you will soon be an expert in Canadian from watching this show!
