Steelhead Week: Plunking on the Rogue River
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 січ 2020
- When all is said and done, and you can't find any good water on the Oregon coast for steelhead fishing, there remains a great option. It's a road trip for most, but it's well worth it. Plunking, or fishing a river bar with a heavy weight and a spin & glow, is not just for the retired set, it's a fantastic way to get in some great steelhead action when conditions are otherwise not good.
The good folks at Rogue Outdoor Store take you through the tackle and setup, and South Coast district biologist Steve Mazur shows you how it's done. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Dude, you just changed my life...
Well, it looks like Mazama's sporting goods store? Near there?
I'm going crazy trying to find the bar he's fishing on. The best hints I've found are that there's a road across the river up a fairly steep embankment and in the last second before the camera cuts, you can see a truss bridge in the background upstream. There are only a handful of bridges like that on the Rogue. It can't be the Yellow Galice Road bridge by Hellgate Canyon, nor Depot Street in Rogue River (city), Dodge Bridge near Sam's Valley looks too flat, plus the bridge is downstream of the gravel bar. Could be the old Robertson Bridge, but none of the bars look right and the land across the water looks too flat. The best contender seems to be Lobster Creek near Gold Beach, but the width of the river seems off to me. It's way wider than that during normal conditions that close to the mouth, and he's talking about fishing high water. The width of the river makes it look like he's somewhere between Indian Mary and Grave Creek, but the bridge doesn't fit! I'm loosing my mind!!!
You’ll find it
Lobster creek
Wouldn’t when you real in it all get tangled the plug hit the corcie and when you have a fish on the corcie the plug would hit it and it come off
10lb leader is WAY TOO LIGHT for plunking...use 20lb and get em in quickly.....they can't see the leader
When your weight in ozs starts approaching your leader in lbs something is wrong
Which store is this I need some tackle
Rogue Outdoor Store in Gold Beach OR
Isn't this style of fishing illegal in Oregon because your gear has to be suspended from the bottom?
no
that is for using a float
First
Oregon Dept of FRAUD AND WASTE... Needs to put resources into PLANTING FISH!!! NOT ON VIDEOS AND BLOWING UP FISHERIES!!!
Research what they actually do, bud. You can attend one of the open committee meetings on the topic and express yourself in person if you want. I'm trying out this technique this weekend with the help from this informative clip. I sure appreciate the rigging advice from the people I bought my fishing License from!
They should open a bunch of pot dispensaries at every fishing hole giving free tackle, advice and needles
Only Noobs plunk with a spinning rod! Hahaha.
