BackFishing
United States
Приєднався 7 лис 2019
"Backfishing" is going to be videos about coming full circle. I was an avid bank fisherman in my younger days but now re-learning new techniques in the different fisheries. Please join me on solo journeys or adventures with friends. I've realized having experiences and adventures is large part of living life. I look forward to sunsets, nature, fishing and enjoying the process of learning which I'm willing to share to viewers. Thank you to all the UA-camrs from the Bay Area and Northwest fishing channels. You all have inspired me to do what I missed most. You guys are awesome! Continued success to you all. Life's hustle and bustle take us away from what we enjoy most. Get out there and do you. Salamat, Mahalos, and Thank you.

I just had breakfast feeling good about the previous day catching the trumpet fish. Ready to go fishing and greet the day.

Nice Pare!
Glad to have you back, and happy to see you had some fun on your trips.
Thank you for the comment. Appreciate it.
Great video demonstration of the cast and hope struggle fishing for coho in the river. I enjoyed hours of peaceful fishing there and was rarely interrupted by a fish. But it sure was exciting when the spinner stopped!
Spinner hook up is the best. The initial stop of the spinner and immediate head shakes thereafter. Best feeling. Thanks for the comment.
Why do you contiuasly repeat yourself? lmao
contiuasly??
There are in fact no rivers between Salem and Myrtle Creek. Take note outta towners.
Google is wonderful. Peace.
Where in Oregon is this? I’m a local
Crabbing is south of Tillamook. Estuary or opening of a bay. Goodluck to ya. Happy crabbing. 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
Oh- and if you don't wanna fish- the views are fantastic. So to all of you amateur photographers out there...
Where is this spot I wanna go for the first time
pacifica pier is only good for crabbing,,,,,,,,,,there is no fish there,,,,,,,,,only bait fish,,,,,,,,,,you are very lucky to catch a striper off the pier,,,,,,,,,and thats about it.,,,,,,,,
Have to disagree. If you know what month and time. You can catch salmon and stripers. Salmon is closed the last 2 years.
You don't need to and should not blur his face.
Thanks for the video! What do you use for your bait marinade?
I use simple fresh shad and can tuna in oil mix, also can throw in chicken to the marinade.
Now that it's been a couple years, do you have a preference for the blue weed whacker line or the clear monofilament?
150 - 200 lb mono for dungeness. Weed wacker has ridges and sometimes difficult to position loops.
Where On Tillamook Bay, are you fishing? I see no jetty and the mouth of Tillamook has a north jetty and the South jetty
Bay just south of of Tillamook. You can also try any beach preferably on the incoming tide.
Looks like the Oregon side. Good looking spot. Productive.
Springers are awesome.
What lb test line was that?
30 lb mono
Hey buddy looks like you had a blast I coho fish all the time in southern Oregon I saw your retrieve was super fast try slowing it down a little coho love it when you drop that spinner by slowing down… hope that helps you have a blessed season!!
Thanks, I'll give it a try sometime.
Was this at the mouth?
IYKYK. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
For your leader to the main line, at 15:52, are you using the same weed wacker .065 line as you used for the snare loops? Is that okay to do that or did you use mono filament 100 lbs? Thanks!
That's just to attach to my main line (weed wacker .065) but now for my loops I prefer 150 lb mono to 200 lb especially for the heavier dungeness. Smaller crabs like targeting blue crabs east coast or red rocks 100 lb would do well.
Where on the Willamette was this at?
My chart shows a typical 26" striper to be about 5.5 years old and 7 lbs. Nice catch!
Thank you for the answer. That's getting up there for the fish. Just think guessing 10 lb to 15 lbs would be 8 years to 10 years? Probably not the best for harvesting since it starts to build up toxins in their meat especially belly and the head.
There's alot more to this than just grabbing a bag of frozen anchovies and hitting the pier with your rod.
You know it.
Say Hi to Leo for me, tight line :)
I was on that spot today. Not so fortunate as these guys. Still fun.
Good to be out though.
@@BackFishing still learning how to fish for salmon, and your videos help.
@@jstjohn57 Thank you for the comment. More gratifying when you finally get one. GL 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I fished the Santiam(s) in earlier times.
Heard it was producing good salmon/steelhead runs. Do you think it the hatchery program has gotten worse?
I use a spoon. But a rice scoop is fine to😂😂😂
LOL. I need to try Ikura style.
Been gone since 2017. I miss the Bay and fishing the Island for rockfish. Oregon is cold and rugged, not too many mellow days on the Ocean. I enjoying taking a little trip back watching your content. Good video.
Appreciate it the comment. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Lmao starting with the song lyrics
I knew you were gonna put the butter on the rice lol as soon as I saw you reach for it.
oh yeah. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Where did you purchase the wire cloth for the traps? Thank you for the info. 16:50
Any Hardware store farming supply. Go to 1/2" wire cloth, much better so crabs can't get to the bait as easy.
Nice catch! What is the exact location to this place?
Some local fisherman are having fits about this upload saying this is for their own. I don't agree, but I also respect not naming spots. Part of the journey is exploring and then when you hook up. It becomes more gratifying. GL
Haha. Was there yesterday!!! Always the same guys here. Lol
@@DD-nv2vg You know it. How the fishing? Do you find new faces going there?
an outstanding video, especially since we're beginning to make our own snares. Where did you find the brass(?) ring and hook units to close the bait cage with? All we can find are screw hooks!
I want to make them and I don’t even live near crabs lol
LOL
If I close my eyes, stick my head in my bait freezer, and turn on audio of old Chinese and Hispanic men talking, it almost feels like I'm still there!
YUP....easy to remember that. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
hey, I'm in the SF area as well. question: are birds a strongest indication for a good fishing day more than going early morning and night time? I hear so many rules to be successful. try to go sunrise and sunset only try not to go when its a clear blue sky now I find out birds is very important as well. Thanks for this info. great video
Birds are an indication of bait around the area which draw big fish. Schooling fish salmon/stripers/perch will definitely be attracted to them and may stay around. Early morning is typically good for all fishing in general. Night especially good for stripers.
Too small is better than being skunked 😊 Love your sweatshirt 💗
Good action for sure.
What part of the coast? Depot bay? Lincoln city? Newport Bay Area?
All good areas. Just follow low tide guide. GL
Looking into this method of fishing. Thanks for the suggestion
It's just fun to be outdoors.
It looks so fun. Thank you forcanother great video. I subscribed.
I appreciate you. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wow wow wow. I've never caught a dungeness crab and you made it look so fun and so easy. It might be worth dri ing up fro. California. Where was this?
🤙🏽🤙🏽
The fishing here is not as good as Oregon and Washington. None of my kids want to go with me after getting skunked repeatedly. I have not fished for many yrs but feel the urge lately. Thanks for a great video of our beaches.
UA-cam is great for information. Good luck on all your adventures. GL
I'm in the Bay Area. The fishing in the Pacific NW looks so amazing. Wow... not snagging with so many rocks. You guys are pros.
Thanks for all your comments JT.
That looks so yummy. It might be good to use avocado oil when you cook at 500⁰. Olive oil starts to break down at high temperatures.
Noted. Thank you.
Nice video. I went for a walk there yesterday. Friendly people willing to talk and show me their catch. Thinking of taking my nephew who is showing a slight interest in fishing. I haven't fished for decades. Are the crabs and fish caught there safe to eat?
Safe to eat? Yes. Gotta follow guidelines on consumption on seafood. It's posted online or on the pier premises.
That looks fun
Being outdoors seems to bring back always good memories and vibes. Appreciate the comment.
The quote at the end was awesome! Thank you for the video!
Thank you for watching and the comment. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
NIce! 2 oz kastmaster?

Awesome vids. I want to try striper night fishing. I live in sf mission bay next to chase center. What's the ideal tide. Incoming outgoing? How big is the grub you're using. Oh and how long are stripers in sf? Thanks in advance.
In the bay range from '16" to 22" on average. I use 4" - 6" grub which work best for me. Just go when water starts to move either way. Read water for bait.
Hi! Where can I find this location in the gorge? Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Where the place yup fishin I'm looking ve Portland
I was just there last week
It's a happening place. Just gotta get your spot.
