Looks like fun, we use 2500 size reels with 10 to 14 pound line here in Michigan and jigging like that will more than likely get you a ticket for snagging. But I come to Washington every year and will eventually find time to fish.
Yeah, jigging is tricky, but as long as the hook is forward of the gill plate you are good to go. Of course, if you accidentally sang the fish behind he gill plate then the angler is required to let them go.
How do you pick spots in south sound? Not asking for spots themselves btw, just pointers on getting started exploring. Up in North Sound we just look for beaches close to the big rivers where fish would stage, or places along migration paths. But South sound fish are all small creek fish correct?
Targeting the nisqually fish I presume? Just started fishing from shore, I’m usually in the rivers. Been at browns point but I think it’s still a bit early
Great video! What was the rod you were using? I can't seem to find it on your website or online. I am looking for a portable setup I can keep in my car and it looks like a nice one.
Thank you for asking Paul, and it is one I made. I can write up an estimate for you if you like. If you are interested, send me an email info@reelbluecustomrods.com Thanks for watching.
The one in this video is a Catch Beta-Bug in pink. I’ve also used some of their other micro jigs as well, but Coho seem to really like the pink Beta-Bug.
@@atatterson6992 - great question and I can’t remember. Either it was a native coho, or I forgot to bring the fish bag. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@reelbluecustomrods lol I won't tell anyone I fish in my boat in area 11 around point defiance. I just thought it would be a nice beach to take my wife and daughter to hangout.
@@rowland84outdoors11 - I don’t know the name of the beach, but it is just south of Solo Point. You will see all of the old pier pulling sand railroad on the beach.
@@rowland84outdoors11 - no worries. And if you keep coming south pass this beach you will arrive at the shipwreck. Low tide is always better. You can get out and climb on it. It is/was a concrete boat.
If your going to release the fish you catch, try leaving them in the water next time. It's better for the fish. Every time it flops around it is losing slim, which is there defence system to deceases.
Thank you for watching and commenting Red, and yes, you are absolutely correct. That being said, I initially was going to keep it, but decide to put it back since it was a Native salmon. Thanks again for watching.

Do the pinks come through there too?
@@Graceclaw - yes they do, but not in large numbers like commencement bay.
I know exactly where you’re at based off of that tunnel. Dash point state park
@@TheKill678 - nope.
@@TheKill678 - Sesqualichew creek.
@@reelbluecustomrods oh wow lol. I was confidently wrong
@@TheKill678 - no worries….it was a good attempt.

Great question, and I do the same. Lots of BIG rivers in the south sound by the way. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Yes, and yes it is a little early. Ironically I was just talking about that today with someone. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@reelbluecustomrods Thank You! Will send you an email.
@@pmmichalczuk - Great.
So is the hike down to the beach really 1.5 miles?
Pretty close to it Bob. All down hill in the way down, and of course all uphill on the way back.
What jig do you recommend using for coho?
The one in this video is a Catch Beta-Bug in pink. I’ve also used some of their other micro jigs as well, but Coho seem to really like the pink Beta-Bug.
@@reelbluecustomrods oh awesome man! Thanks for the reply!! Appreciate you 🤙🏾
@@elpnw4775 - no worries and thanks again for watching.
Why the release?
@@atatterson6992 - great question and I can’t remember. Either it was a native coho, or I forgot to bring the fish bag. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Ikannya malu masuk kamera hahaha
Yes, I believe they were a little camera shy. 😂😂😂. Hope I translated your message correctly, and thank you for watching.
@@reelbluecustomrods hahaha benar sekali
@@DinastyRodCustomDRC - awesome.
what's the name of that beach?
It’s a secret Rowland. 😂😂😂 just kidding. It is where the Sequalitchew creek trail meets the Sound.

It look like pink salmon
Not pink, coho.

Yeah, I seriously doubt that one made it to spawn...
