I thought about heading out there for a second this morning . .But I couldn't get motivated Well you got me motivated now, fishing is harder work when you get old. Might go Monday if the wind stays down. Darn. it would have been cool to meet you guys I subed a couple years ago. I did order a sweat shirt to support your channel. Might want to do a whisker trip with you this summer. Peace out.
Glad we can give ya the motivation man! Hope ya can get out soon and get on em. Should be a good bite for a while. Definitely let us know about a whisker trip. Thanks for the support tight lines!
When I was in my late teens/early 20s, that peir was shoulder to shoulder when the kings came in. (56 now). We also fished at the paper mill, known as the stink hole back then. Unfortunately we was there about a week or two, too soon. My buddy did get to land one while at the paper mill spot. Years later, we now fish around Tippy Dam but I'd still love to get into some of those chromers. The darker ones still put on a hell of a fight and that's what keeps us coming back. We do pretty much catch and release on the salmon in the river systems.
Very cool love that type of fishing,it’s neat to see how techniques change over the years. I enjoy watching your videos it makes me miss the salmon and trout fishing. Thanks for bringing it back to me and the rest of your followers.
I use the Wolf river off the pier 3 ft drop 3 ft leader #6 hook put a small hunk of my coffee cup on and a dead alewife so it floats did very well with that
I have to thank you for the videos last year of your freshwater drum fishing we had a ball on the Muskegon pier catching them and I must tell you they are excellent smoked. Better than whitefish we think. So again a big thank you from me and my daughter Jamie.
I've been watching these vids across UA-cam on jigging for Kings .....which I wasn't aware existed at all.....Everyone is raving big time about it.... I am craving to do it now....I want in on that big rave!! 😃💯💯
Can you point me in direction in how you made those rod holders I can’t find any info about it. Did you make or buy them can you tell where you bought them if you did. Thanks you guys are awesome 👏
Unfortunately I just bought them at a random bait store. A lot of bait stores near the piers will sell em tho. If not I have some made from pvc pipe that work great
Would certainly appreciate a heads up when the drum start hitting. I know it is temperature dependent as I also know it is probably not going to be on any of the online fishing reports, at least none I know of.
Are these pink eggs for sale in Walmarts or where? I don’t recall ever seeing them. If I go fish with nightcrawlers and red worm in late summer/early fall might some still bite
What bait did you use? nice video bro!. I was fishing @ Waukegan harbor not getting luck with the spinners/spoons sadly. need tips to catch my very first salmon/trout
Been watching you guys for a while now. I’m a Michigander myself. If there are any tips or anything you guys could give me for chasing some big flatheads this year, my brother and I would greatly appreciate it. Love your work man. Keep it up!

@@TheDbrewer31 it can be hit or miss for sure. Glad you guys are still out getting em! Thanks for watching 🎣
We need more pier action please!
Should be plenty more this spring/summer! Thanks for watching 😎
I’m back-and-forth between Lake, Michigan and Texas. I can’t wait to be back in Michigan to fish with My Grandson.❤❤
@@sharinmythoughts2510 no place quite like it!
Good morning. Another really cool video ❤
Preciate it😁
I forgot about this channel since it’s been all shorts videos. I’m into the pier vids

Thank ya for watching man. Always fun to change things up a bit. Hopefully more pier stuff to come soon!
This brings back so many memories ! I Started fishing salmon off the pier in Port Washington WI 1980 at 16 years old
Thanks for watching!
4-20-24 how’s the fishing in Port now? Are the coho coming in? How do you keep dead alewives afloat ? Thanks
Love the pier fishing !
Glad to hear!
great job man thank you for the beautiful video
Thanks for watching!

That’s awesome! I’ve deep fried a bunch of em but never smoked ill have to try this summer
Love the coho scales on your hands....lol...I want to fish pier some day😊
@@danhughes3626 no getting away from those!
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 True story...lol

It’s a blast!
It's good seeing you guys back on a pier.
Glad to be back😎
See you guys on occasion when I’m out. Was out this morning with the rest of the crowd, The Bite is still very active. Keep the videos coming
Glad to hear it. Hope this front doesn’t screw things up. Tight lines!
Heck ya man. Got my first one on a float this year. So much fun haha

Unfortunately I just bought them at a random bait store. A lot of bait stores near the piers will sell em tho. If not I have some made from pvc pipe that work great
Do u add foam balls to your spawn bag to float it up?
I would like to see how you make those rod holders that stick into the pier, with measurements.
We just bought them at a bait shack years ago! Pretty easy to make with pvc and rebar tho
Would certainly appreciate a heads up when the drum start hitting. I know it is temperature dependent as I also know it is probably not going to be on any of the online fishing reports, at least none I know of.
When do you guys use this rig vs the other rig where the barrel swivel is free floating on the main line?
Fishing bottom vs suspended
Are those rebar stakes on pvc for rod holders
Some are! Others just stakes and PVC
Great video!!! I'll be trying it soon❤❤
Awesome thanks for watching!!
Great video!!! What is your rod holder setup?
Just some welded ones I bought from a bait shack. Pvc, straps and some rebar works also. Thanks!
Nice line up of apparel goodies ❤
Thank you!
What location I’m going fishing for them pls give location
Are these pink eggs for sale in Walmarts or where? I don’t recall ever seeing them. If I go fish with nightcrawlers and red worm in late summer/early fall might some still bite
No they are taken & cured from fish we caught. Night crawlers work occasionally
What bait did you use? nice video bro!. I was fishing @ Waukegan harbor not getting luck with the spinners/spoons sadly. need tips to catch my very first salmon/trout
I was using salmon eggs tied into spawn sacs here. Thanks for watching!
Do you get much off the pier all summer or just in spring
No cohos in summer, occasionally steelhead tho
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 would like see how you fish them and how you know when to
@@Raydubbs90 fish for what?
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 can you get coho off the pier all summer or do you switch species
@@Raydubbs90 steelhead in the summer cohos go deeper away for the piers
What rod are you using? Very helpful video, thanks.
They’re all different rods ranging from 9ft-11ft medium-med light. Thanks for watching!
What is the bait?
@@GabrielQuinteros-n3p spawn bags
Great Video. Any chance for sucker spearing/smelt dipping video?
Not much of that around here unfortunately more of a thing on the east side I believe
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 UP

Fish close to cover! Have fresh baits and change often. Preciate it fellas 🤙🏻
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 I caught my PB of 26# last year, hoping to beak that this year. Thanks for the reply.

@@sbsoutdooraction3055 Thanks!!!

Is this grand heaven or muskegon,
And a buddy going this weekend,
Thank you for the videos
Grand Haven
Where do you fish if you don’t mind me asking?
West side of Michigan mainly
Great Vid! Are there any conditions that more ideal for spring coho off the pier?
Preciate! Look for warm water close to shore
If you don't mind me asking what pier are y'all at?
The pier is Grand Haven Michigan...you see its like this support their channel their merch etc but won't support your inquiry 🤔
@@tonyfuentes544 Thank you bro. I was at Ludington today they didn't bite up there during the daytime but the morning was hot they said
@Allen Ballard you're welcome...and yeah...there will be times like that. Fish on brother...🤙
I grew up fishing there, mostly perch when I was a kid.
Never tried pier fishing perch. May have to add that to the list!
Ware is the place
Just came across this video. Pretty cool!! Where abouts in Michigan are you located? You guys surf fish at all? Or just pier fish?
Nice! We’re on the west side of the state. We do a little bit of everything thanks for watching!
Never pier fished for salmon...what's your setup? Rod length/power?
Anything 8ft and up will work. I run 8-11ft medium light rods
Is that S. Haven ?
We’re is it Southaven?
Great video!👍 are those floater bag?
Thanks! Some of them did some didn’t, it didn’t seem to make a difference
Grand Haven pier?
Looks like it
Wow that’s awesome dude! Where is that spot located?
Thanks!
The pier is Grand Haven Michigan...you see its like this support their channel their merch etc but won't support your inquiry 🤔
Pier is the South Pier in South Haven, Michigan not Grand Haven. Grand Haven is about 50 miles North of this one.
Also do you know when coho season ends and steelhead start?
Steelhead can be caught off the piers most months. Summer run starts around July cohos go all spring!
So question about how u guys jig for sheepshead? Are u guy’s literally just jigging in the cracks of the rocks or where do u want the bait to be
Try everywhere! Mainly rocks but they move all the time
What was that big spotted fish?
Brown trout!
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 that is a giant brown.keep up the good work!
@@Lion.craft.studios thank ya! It was my PB😎
How big to coho get
Mature they can get around 15lbs, spring they normally max at a few pounds
Which pier is this? We live in Michigan. My husband and I are planning to go pier fishing this week. We love your video.
Grand Haven I'm pretty sure
South Haven
Average size coho here in st Joseph Michigan on lake Michigan.
Ever seen a brookie from the big water?
Nope
Where you fishing.
Lake Mi
Is bro at south haven
What the date
@@Akimikinaak sometime in March
Thanks dude! Going to superior on the two heart. Going to try shore fishing at the mouth . Probably too early though.
@@Akimikinaak there’s always something to catch around the piers. Goodluck!
Does shrimp work for cohos?
Very good some days!
What would make this better is if you showed what type of bait or lures you use etc.
I did a full rig rundown with bait in this vid?
let's just rip the hook out of the fish's mouth by over-striking for the camera
Indeed. Sets the hook like a goober, stupid to do too on salmon/steel.
Them bad dude jus reel in its not bass fishing
No...loom at the rod!
More from se wi
I was just there. Didn’t catch nothing tho
Pier fishing can be super hit or miss!
your yankin it to hard when your trying to set the hook man lol
I'd build a house on the pier if winter wasn't a thing
🤘🏼
It got off because you ripped it out of its mouth twice
Where for Gods sake
