SECRET to Nonstop Action: SUSPENDED Landlocked Salmon with HOMEMADE Cured Bait Trailer | Episode 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 січ 2022
- After decades of spending the entire day trying to catch a few landlocked salmon, I finally developed a technique that has me limiting out in hours. Once the lakes turn over, landlocked salmon are on the prowl for the huge bait balls that have moved up into the more shallow water column. They're hunting en masse in voracious schools but can be incredibly difficult to target for several reasons:
1) When they're suspended, spoons and other lures drop way too fast to be in the strike zone for more than a couple of seconds. The lure needs to be kept in the strike zone for a good while.
2) Landlocked salmon have a unique way of feeding as they attack from below the target and then keep swimming straight up like a missile for another 5 to 10 feet with the lure in its mouth. How to set the hook when you get a bite? If you swing right away, you can't make contact as the fish is swimming towards you faster than you can move the rod.
3) Salmon spit the lure in just a few seconds. How to get the salmon to hold on long enough so you can set the hook?
Building upon my brother Ron's and my experience fishing salmon in saltwater, we started using a lure called a Gitzit for landlocked salmon. But we soon realized that just using the lure isn't enough. So we devised a very specific technique and everyone in our boats have been limiting out ever since. In this video, I will teach you our family secret and look forward to hearing how you limited out too!

Awesome video!, best source of information, thankyou Sir!
Your welcome just trying to help everyone
Always learning new things from you. Learned how to fish salmon back in 96' from you. Since then til now, still a great mentor. Good stuff Allen!
yes this you tube channel will let me get out the info fast and I'm trying to answer all the comments too!
This was a great instructional video Alan. I'll definitely have to give it a try this year.
This has been a weird year for the salmon fishing in Berryessa as all the bait is still down 60-100 ft like the lake hasn't turned over yet!
Tube never fails, I use smaller ones for bass crappie and blue gills
Gitizs have been my go to baits since they first came out long time ago!
I'M GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL...I WAS SUBBED TO YOU AND WARREN'S CHANNEL..I'VE LEARNED ALOT THROUGH OUT THE YEARS
Good to hear
I’m ready let’s go!
Good seeing you at ISE and yes lets go fishing.
This man is an expert. I want to go fishing and hunting with this man,
Born n raised here in Sac and been fishing n hunting all my life. Love the outdoors! My goal is to help people get better at all the fishing n hunting opportunities
Nice and clear -thanks Alan
you welcome!
Thx for the info Alan .
Any time! Enjoy helping as much as I can
Great video Alan, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
thanks Glad it was helpful!
Thanks you SENSEI!!
No problem and I always enjoy helping out if I can!
Very good information Alan, thank you.
thanks waiting for Berryessa to turn over n I';; post a video on mooching
I subscribed because Thefishstalker Rob Cooper recommended your channel!
thanks to Rob N you
Great info Alan.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video thank you for posting really appreciate all the help.
Tony I'm using YT to teach how to fish, hunt & cook as I'm always out doing these things so just need to bring the camera lol
Just found your channel. Great to see you back. You and Warren were my favorites and your worm fishing tips saved me from a bunch of skunks. Look forward to seeing more tips and just Subbed👍
Yes Warren and I are always fishing together even after we stopped Fun Fishing. He's helping me with the YT channel too!
Hi Alan, Great video, thank you! Which rod & reel is that?
When I'm mooching I use a ML action rod. Light cranking or trout rods work well. You want a very soft tip rod in 7 to 8 ft long and reel that holds 100 yds of 8# test
Can’t wait to go with you!!!! 🙋🏻♂️
Yea we need to get out soon!
I'm gonna try at Lake Oroville this week. Any more tips would be greatly appreciated. Great video!!
Good luck!!
Great video Alan. Good luck on your new channel. I will stay tuned.
Steve well have to get out fishing nice meeting you at the ISE show
It was a pleasure Alen. I will be looking foward to fishing with one of the true Delta legends. See you at the show.
Hay Alan I knew it’s pretty straight forward how you explained how to dead stick but I have never done it. Would be an awesome video if you showed how you do it.
Reggie when Berryessa turns over I will make the video and post it asap which might happen soon with this north wind blowing
Alan, I just discovered the channel tonight, great to see you out there! I'm going to send you subs , you got my 2 subs and the Mrs ! Your the most informative guy around! Great to see you on here agin
Thanks for turning me on to this channel Rob....Jeff
Thanks guys for subscribing to my channel. I plan to teach everything about fishing, air gun hunting N cooking on my channel. Getting lots of subscribers but I need a lot more to get this rolling. Every week I'm always out in the outdoors doing something so I just bring along my GP camera.
Nice to see your channel. I have endured my worst winter fishing season in 30 years at Berryessa this year. Hard fishing for low numbers. It never occurred to me that the lake is still stratified. I am at the lake each week and I too noticed all the 40 ft plus marks and no surface activity. I wonder if the heavy rain in Dec and rapid lake level increase caused the stratification to persist longer than usual.
Thanks for Salmon tip, The most exciting fish to catch at the lake.
Going out now to make sure I have white gitzits in the boat. Most likely a trip to the FW store.

Hey Don Berryessa has been weird this year so it's happening to everyone. The lake has not turned over yet as all the bait is 60-80 ft down. Hopefully this north wind will get the lake moving and I think it's going to be a short window this year !Thanks for watching my new channel and please hit the like & subscribe!
Great vid, you jig them exactly the same way that I do, although I’ll sabiki the alewives rather than buy them. Tight lines bud!
Nice n it works great!
Any idea where to find those level head jig heads(eye in middle of head) in that size? Looked everywhere online can’t find them
Bladerunner tackle makes them (Trix Tube Heads) is the design. Try Tackle Warehouse on line
Great video what time of the year are you doing this type of fishing?
Usually after the lake turns over and the baitfish (shad) come to the surface is when it gets good. Berryessa its usually starts in Dec thru Feb
@@AlanFong Thanks Alan I really enjoy your videos
I’ve got some poles and reels for trolling trout that will work for this. I have 8lb test that’s the diameter of 10lb test. Do I need to re-spool with true 8lb test? Also, are you tying directly to the main line? Thanks for all the great info.
No your line will work fine. 8-10# test is perfect for mooching. A soft rod will catch you more fish. I always tie direct to the jighead
Thanks Alan. Can't wait to try this technique on Oroville,maybe at Shasta. I trolled my ass off at Oroville couple years back for just one fish. A nice one tho. About 6 lbs. Look forward to putting a limit in the boat to bring home to my family. My wife is phllipino. She knows how to cook them . Yummy !! Thank you again. !!!
No problem and when those salmon start hanging around the dam that technique will work! Fish have to be pushing bait fish up on the dam or a bluff
good luck n keep me posted
Excellent tutorial. Now that the north wind has subsided and most likely the lake has turned over, will you give it a go this week?
Thank you,
Stephen Mitchell

My brother went today and I'll be out there this week!
I was out there today. Launched out of Markley and stayed in The Narrows. Graphing bait and fish still in 60-80 feet mainly. 55 degree surface temp.
@@lawdogzracer Jeff I was at Berryessa Wednesday and the bait fish are still deep. Looked in narrows and out past Big Island and nothing. Water temp is rising on surface to 54* in afternoon which is not a good sign. I think when it turns the window of opportunities will be short this year.
Great video, thanks for sharing your success. I am curious what brand/length that gitzit is. Also if it’s a pearl or white glow. Thanks
Mike there Canyon Gitizs 3 3/4' white & use 1/4 - 3/16 oz darthead Fishermans Warehouse has in stock
Hi Alan, Love seeing your video! Question, how heavy were you using them in the ocean for king? Since I am on a kayak, I could slow troll the gitzit. Would love to try it this season. Thanks again for the video!
Usually one oz spearheads. If your trolling it legal but if your mooching it's not because you have to use a circle hook
@@AlanFong thanks Alan! Do you tip it with herring as well? And use the same technique you described here?
I heard you talking about that with Sep that is unbelievable wow! I live closer to the Manteca store I hope they have those there as well as those jig heads I'm over at pyramid lake in Nevada right now but when I get back to California I'll be dropping by the fisherman's Warehouse store
Yes all of our FW stores stock the Canyon white gitizs
I look forward to trying your method for suspended salmon in Oroville when it turns over.
Which size white gitzit 2.5 or 3.5?
3.5 or 4" work great
Great tips Allen! I know Folsom lake has kings have you tried your system out there? Is it too late in the year to go out to Folsom?
There catching some salmon in Folsom trolling now. Mooching later and no I haven't tried mooching there yet
When are you going to have a seminar at fisherman's Warehouse again
James right now we can't but hopefully we can start doing them again
I'm going to try this ice fishing lake geroge
Give it a try and let me know if it works? Seems to work on all king salmon in these parts!
@@AlanFong should I try a smaller profile then 🤔
@@buckshotfishing1356 I've tried a smaller gitiz with no results. Saw signs of the lake turning yesterday as the birds were gathered around all of the mouths of the bigger creeks.
Wonder if this would work in Shasta or Almanor.
Yes this method is deadly on salmon just have to try it! Let me know but in late fall when a lake turns over and you see trout jumping all over this method will work. It's better if the lake had thread fin shad in it. But I would try it even if it doesn't!
Alan, an absolute great instructional video for land locked Salmon. I know the Gitzit from back in the day. What Would Alan Do? For ocean Salmon? Alan Fong $alt techniques. Thank you. Mr. Q
No problem I love helping people learn to fish, I'm happy when someone replies and tells me there catching fish!
Now I assume this does not on Kokanee?
No not on Kokanee as they're a plankton feeder. But never know?
👍👍👍👍👀
thanks
please stop the back ground music
We have been lowering the music in the last few.
Please don’t add the annoying music loop. 🤨
I'll mention it to my producer
