The captain commented on the color of the meat based on diet. I knew about the krill but didnt know anchovie turned it pumpkin color. Learned something, thx. Also picked up my 2 pk of 4 in sardine finish cut plugs. I think I now have like 9 colors. Addiction...
Deck hand is sweet!!
Drags too tight, they always come off when you try to lift them and they roll like that. I like to have a lighter drag and get them tired out and not tear a huge hole for the hook to come out of. Nice fish!
Sam Shotgun yep, I was waiting for it to pop lol.
You pretty much nailed it. They need to keep their rods down, otherwise they’ll keep losing the fish.
Spot on
*Fun little bait great for ponds. This thing casts really well for its size, I was surprised. Good for when you need to downsize and gets smaller fish to commit*
right on guys , good stuff. that Lady knows her stuff
I’m surprised you guys didn’t have a better day. Everyone has been catching limits. The party boats have been pulling 50 limit trips.
Fished launched off the beach in a 16 ft inflatable zodiac just outside the surf line in Monterey bay a couple of decades back and killed them with three hooks hookups! Living in So Oregon now and will try that here next year when I’m settled in my new home!
Is there a website where i can purchase the super bait watermelon color? Also do you guys charter?
Im a beginner Fisher any advice will help. Im looking forward guiding off the wharf in Monterey
Man nice salmon. I fly fish for Atlantic salmon here in NewBrunswick. I got some videos of us in the remotes of NewBrunswich fishing them. Here is the latest video of us scouting for some salmon. The biggest we caught was around 25 to 30 pounds but these ones on this channel are monsters.
At 8:17 the captain talks about the effect of the feed on the color of the flesh of the salmon. Early in the season the fish are offshore feeding on krill and other things. When they arrive at the Marin coast the feed on mostly anchovies and squid. How long does it take for a salmon to lose the deeper red color that many claim is associated with the krill?
Keep rod down. Instead of pulling up, pull to the side. Pulling up increases chances of fish unhooking.
Forgot to mention out of San Francisco. Great year this year! Oregon not so good.
I lost a 30 pounder couple weeks ago up in Fort Bragg same thing the fish swim up to the front of the boat turned on me spit the hook I hate it when that happens
Need to keep the rod pointing down. Probable unhooked because you were pulling up.
How long of a leader with the Brads cutplug?
By the time you buy all the artificial baits, scents assimilators etc, your cost is more than simply using the real thing is it not?
Another question, do you leave your down riggers still in the water once you have a fish on? Would that be an issue for tangling with your fish on line? I also noticed your down-rigger cable and ball are not swiveled back into gunnel, by keeping them in you active position, would they not also create an issue for the anglers line and/or the net person when trying to land the fish?
The super baits will last for years as will the scents. Real bait last about a day lol.
Their boats probably big enough that they have enough room to fight the fish and keep it away from the cable. But generally yeah, youre supposed to retrieve the ball and swing the boom parallel with the boat.
I think these are worth it esp if you buy the unrigged 2 pk. Natural bait IS good but as others said, they get old lotsa prep (brining and scenting are fun but more time and money). These avoid scratchbait (more time in water) its a 1 time purchase, & a little anchovie paste from your local grocery store (a couple dollars and in a tube like toothpaste very ez and clean) add a little herring gel and go. Im using more artificials. Still not sold on hoochies though I have them all, have done really well with red krock spoons up high (like 25 pulls) esp. 1st thing in the morning. Later is deeper
I have fished this area quite a few times, and when the fish are there the water turns into a freeway at rush hour full of boats. Combat trolling, it really ruins the fishing fun.
Ain't no way you get firget about Virginia. Unforgettable and fish on also
It took me loosing too many salmon to not put the net in the water, it seems to scare them and and they surge hard. Now I try to keep them away from the boat, long enough that they have tired and netting with a quick stab on the first try.
Biggest reason you never reel all the way to the flasher. I would have ignored this captain and just walked back or lifted the rod a lot higher. The flasher keeps pressure and control on the fish and when you reel up to much that fish now has the advantage over you.
With longer leaders you have to reel to the flasher unless you have a really long net
the fishing is hot and so is the deck hand .
Why do you run weights instead of a diver of some sort like diver or dipsey? I'm asking out of curious if there are befits of it. On east coast we mainly just use dipsy divers and downriggers.
Because charter boats and even 6 packs found it easier to have a sinker release than having downrigger for 6, 8 or 20 anglers each. No way it will work. Sinker release with cannon ball is the way to go easier and less tangle for everyone.
She is definitely not a ":Sir". C'mon Capt
Gawd she’s beautiful and smart...
They need to tire out the salmon, and keep their rods down. This is why they keep losing so many fish.
"We like to shake our shakers"
I want her as my deck helper
for sure lol
I asked the guy why so fly? He said "Captain Zack Medinas"!
Are you using the down riggers with the plugs? How do u get them down with weights or a down rigger
Either way. Just get them down. Down riggers are best if you have that option.
She knows how to handle that rod.. and knows how to shake😁😁
Ikr want her #
I know that beginner anglers sometimes need a little coaching... but if that skipper kept harping on me like that... I'd say STFU!
💯
i dont understand why not use a deep diver those lead balls dropping down to the ocean floor has to add up and be pretty costly
Looks like your secret spot is out of the bag now...
Is it barbless in the Sacramento River and tributes also?
Not usually but do check the regulations.
Went out on a party boat a week prior to this video and boated 42 Kings for 21 fisherman in 3 hours dragging frozen anchovies. I’m surprised at their poor results on a guided high quality six pack. This year has been touted as the best in the last six years. I’m currently in Portland. Going fishing on the Columbia on Saturday. The fish reports are dismal. Mismanagement of our fisheries will likely kill them. Sad.
nice video!
I like those reels... what are they?

Thanks Big Shticks!!
Yup she a nice fish...
wow so intense
It's 20" full length in my zone, is is fork length there?
in cali begining of the season salmons from the front to the end tip of the tail should be a total of 24" and around july the keeper sized would be 20". but i feel that salmon lesser than 24" the meat isnt so tasty yet coz it hasnt build up its fish fat yet and also lots of bones to pick.
@@jonathanle7161 I agree they get better and be I will let the small ones go too (as long as it's hooked so it doesn't kill the fish) but the little ones are great on the BBQ, put the whole fish on. I don't think it's technically legal in California though, at least in my managment zone it's "first 2 legal fish landed" so the reduced size limit to 20" has been a little bit strange.
Sam Shotgun where do u reside? if u want a hog that fits on the grill u should get urself The Big Green Egg! mines the XXXL 😂🤣😂🤣 regular grills has lots of bad chemicals that’ll get sucked up into whatevers it is that ure grilling.
@@jonathanle7161 mendacino mgt area. Pretty extreme nor Cal. I fish commercially from a 17' arema here. Oh we get tons of hogs here too! My BBQ is home made and I love it.. green egg looks great and all.
@@jonathanle7161 that is right I have read that south of me they do a 24" sport thing still at certain times of the year.
Dropping so much dam lead in the ocean cuz they dont wanna use a down rigger
I was wondering about that. Do those things drop the ball when a fish is on? That seems crazy to me. Especially with 40oz weights?! I use 8-10oz in OR without a release. Are our fish really that much more shallow?
i dont think thats the case, theyre just a tad lazy and would rather pollute the ocean.
Isn’t that Virgina?
Dario Ortiz That’s San Francisco
Nice
some lucky dude is going to marry Virginia!

I california all the good fishing
When I deckhanded we ALWAYS walked ALL fisherman through netting. Too many get lost at the boat. As they come in closestay on top of the netter & in 1 smooth motion as terminal tackle reaches rod tip stop winding and lift into net. This is where everyone always hesitates and your netter needs to be aggressive. I know YOU KNOW but ppl forget when their hearts are pumpin.
To bad you can’t fish my Alaska!😂🤣😆👍
Please don't take this as a negative comment - l just don't see why those guys are using setups that are losing so much lead - we Washingtonians us the same setups on the Columbia rivers plus other of our water systems when trolling both freshwater and saltwater without any problems especially if we place our lead weight ball on a slider. In closing, still awesome show regardless of my not understandings.
Calvin your absolutely right! We started using sliders 5 years ago, exactly what you would use for sturgeon. You still have the full fight of the fish because of the slider and what's great is for inexperienced anglers this setup is forgiving. When salmon turns racing back towards the boat cannon ball free falls keeping hook buried and secured. We switched from weight releases and have had much better luck not to mention I also had a problem with polluting the Ocean. I mean just think about it... Party boats average 20 to 30 limits a trip. That's 40 to 60 lead cannon balls on average not counting your under sized salmon that may trip release, now multiply that by however many salmon trips per season over the years and you have millions of pounds of lead sitting on the bottom of ocean. Sorry I'll stick to my downriggers and or slider rig combo. Last year we landed over 60 salmon right where this video was shot. And using the slider rig i believe we maybe lost 2 or 3.
In my opinion the slider is a better setup especially keeping barbless hooks set.
On a party boats in San Francisco with 16 or more anglers it’s the only way to go.
For smaller private boats you have the option of using downriggers or whatever
Thumb off the spool duuuude
Don't ever put you're thumb on the spool!
I was yelling at him thru my phone. Thumb off the spool duuuude
She should have netted the salmon sooner! Not very good help she is.
Poor netting technique
Use the whole handle on the net ...
She never had a shot at that fish. You're full of it. Those knotless nets are hard to push through the water. He keeps it in gear too...
Internet pros.
Agree 100% !
Raiders!
Amateur hour
so, uh, is she married? hahaha
Gabriel Abers do u mind sloppy 2nds
Mike Huwaldt nope!
