Everyone rocked this!! Wow we are over 100 likes already in a day. I will do a giveaway here this week. Thank you all!! Great suggestions on the videos too!
A year round fishing calendar guide to the northwest would be awesome! Thanks for all you do here. Got me back into fishing again.
Fantastic idea!!
I'm so surprised your videos aren't just blowing up right now with the pink season. You have the best explanation and info around
Thank you for the kind words. Trying to bring as much detail as I can! Ton more to come
Thanks for your content. I'm new to this type of fishing and enjoy learning about it!!!
Love your videos, would love to see a basic intro to shore fishing Coho. Stuff like when the season starts, common tactics, etc.
This is coming!!
Will have to check out the rotator, first time I heard about them is this video.thanks for sharing, greatly appreciate it bud
No problem 👍Glad it was helpful. thank you for the support
@@HolyMolyOutdoors I ordered 2.5 rotators
Like see river fishing for salmon....fish on!
I have that coming soon! Thanks for watching
Going tomorrow morning for pinks. Only have 2 buzz bombs as I waited until today to look at a few local stores. Great vid. I'm about to watch a few more now!
Thank you for watching and the support!
Thanks to your videos I have personally learned to fish here in WA as I'm a newbie to Salmon fishing and have had excellent success for last 4+ years! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Great to hear of the success!
Caught my 1st pink salmon on the buzzbomb this year
Way to go!
Just caught my first humpies yesterday using a pink pearl buzz bomb and pink hoochie. Thanks to your tutorial learned a lot.
Fantastic! Way to go. Glad to hear it was helpful!
You make great presentations I learned a lot from you
I love both of these lures. Tend to see alot more guys in my area throwing buzz bombs and pink squid hoochies so I throw on a pink rotator and usually get bit. Thanks for your video on the other ways to rig hooks for these, definitely helped with the landing ratio. Keep up the great work.
Great to hear! Thanks for the support and watching!
Do some Winter Steelhead fishing videos on the water this year! Tight lines brotha. Thank you for what you do!!!
Thank you! Definitely will have more on the water videos coming!
Thanks for all of the content. I have learned quite a bit watching your videos. Also, I really appreciate the heavenly aspect.
Thank you for the support! Lot’s more to come
I have not caught a pink salmon yet, but I’m using buzz bombs and pink squid jigs, thanks for all of help starting to make me a decent beach fisherman.
You will get them! Keep at it!
Hi. I just moved to Olympia from California. I've never fished for salmon before and can't wait to start fishing 👍
Welcome! Hope you catch a ton!
Great content. Any advice on rigging for pinks on the rivers? Used to fish the Skagit back in the day with a 4oz weight and a long swivel arm using sand shrimp. Nice lazy fishing since I could just set the rig and wait for a fish. My wife even would attach a bell so she didn't have to stare at her line all day. Anyway, interested on your take on fishing for the pinks on fast moving rivers.
Plunking is a great way in the big rivers like the skagit. I would also say that some areas around river bends may have an inside current seam with slightly slower water where wicked lures, twitching jigs, and dick nites can be casted to. From a boat you have more options to search for the holding water
Thanks a lot. Chinook fishing Flying C (spinner) or buzz bomb? Pros and cons.
That would be a great one, spinners from the beach is a whole different presentation. Great way to target them
love your videos. I like seeing walmart challenge videos they show people you dont need the top dollar gear to be a good fisherman.
Well thank you! Stay tuned, I have some new of that coming really soon!
Love your opinions on spoons for coho! Appreciate the buzz bomb videos, I'm learning a lot!
Thanks for the info, I am new to salmon fishing from the shore here on Whidbey Island.
Thanks for watching and the support! Some good beach fishing ahead there!!
We had a good first day yesterday fishing pink Buzz Bombs. Only one strike but we did see three fish brought in.
Awesome! Love hearing that. It’s go time here on out especially if we get a rain
Never heard of a rotator, but definitely sounds interesting. Here in Oregon, buzz bombs are used mostly for kokanee in lakes, but I definitely would like to try them for salmon off the shore.
Would work great down there for your kings and coho from the beach!
Love to see man
Great video
Thank you!
Thanks for all the great content, you give a lot of really good advice. I would love to see a video on his to pick a spot to fish: river or the sound.
I can definitely work on this too!
Great content. Had good success with these last September for coho off the Beach
Thank you!
Thank you for all your content! It definitely helps me on the banks im gonna actually give these buzz bombs a try I've never fished them before but I've had cousin use them but they're hush hush family or not about their fishing secrets.
Skookum Chuck fishing for coho in the fall
Great one! I have always fished spring/later winter. The coho would be awesome
New to fishing and just found your channel. Going to give a couple of your sets a try this week.
Hope they bring you some good luck! Thanks for the support!
Been watching your stuff for years. Would love to see an egg fishing video. Nothing like watching bobber downs!
🔥Killin the game bro🔥
Appreciate it man
@@HolyMolyOutdoors ya man, keep it up!!🤙🇺🇸
Great content, very informative. Please share info on your own products and jigs and where to get those (I asked in your new Video too).
Shoot me an email be happy to work out what you are looking for
Thanks for the video and doing the giveaway! More content on shore fishing would be fantastic!
More to come! I have some shots fishing specifics on the way. Thank you for watching
Love your channel! Let’s see you fishing these techniques in a video.
Thank you for watching and the support! Definitely will have more fishing action and using these soon!
Very informative videos! Great job.
Thank you!
Hey cool man 👍 I watch your channel all the time for tips, so thanks man🎣 … ya still givin away that three pack of buzzers?
I’m a rotator guy. I think they flutter a little better in the water and look better on straight retrieves as well.
If you care for some vid ideas, I’d love to see some straight up fishing vlogs. I know you been slaying them on the beach let’s see some footage! Also I bet you know this, but people love catch and cooks. You should do catch to cooked for a couple nice pinks!
Love the ideas! I just got an upgraded DJI osmo for just that :) I will start incorporating some vlog trips into the mix again.
Definitely a catch and cool would be fun!
Rick, how about some kayak fishing? I always go with the rotator off the beach in Puget Sound but I like the buzz bomb for jigging in deeper water.
Kayak fishing is a blast! Will definitely have to reach out to some buddies for a loaner :)
How about Point Wilson Dart type jigs?
Those work great too! Made more for deeper water or a boat but the small 1oz size can be used from a beach
Thank you much for the info . What is the best color for coho ?
Thank you for watching! My favorite is white or green. Or any combo of the two. Seems to always get bit more matter what is running
Appreciate the videos. What size and brand of hooks and swivels do you use? Thanks!
Hooks are Mustad open siwash big gun 2/0 and a size 7 rolling barrel swivel
Easy like 👍
Thanks for the support!
I have been catching a lot of king salmon with buzz bomb.
But I never heard about rotator jig....is it good for king salmon?
Thank you !
Thanks for watching and the support! Great question too. I think based on the design, the rotator is more for a beach fisherman and coho/pinks as it has more surface area and flutters. The buzz bomb seems to make a faster drop which I like for deeper water
Thanks for the amazing content like always 👌🏼
No problem 👍 Thank you for watching
I would like to see your set up for chum fishing. I’m having surgery and will be back in the swing of things for the chum runs
I can absolutely work on one! Hope you have a quick heal!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching and the support!
Love the single hooks enclosed in the 3 pack..?what size hooks do you feel comes with it? Seem smaller.
Also, a suggestion for figuring out the shore line your working if it’s shallow or not? What depth do you consider shallow, average or deep?
Definitely smaller size, might have to do a review and open one up to showcase.
As for how to read a beach, I judge it typically on the shoreline taper. If you have a steep beach, typically that can be associated with a deeper drop off. You might be able to see a rip or ledge at certain times of the tide as well. One of the best ways to learn a beach is go at an extreme low tied. Gives you a great look at how the beach runs. Hope that helps!
Oh depths wise, shallow Id say less than 10ft like a sand flat. Medium would be one that tapers off, and deep would have a ledge drop
I get better luck with the buzz bombs
Great local content!
Thank you!
Hope I'm chosen for the giveaway! Excluding the Rotator and Buzz Bomb, what would be your next three choices of lure/bait when fishing exclusively from the beach for salmon?
Great question! My number 1 besides a buzz bomb/rotator is a wicked lure. So fun to use. My 2nd pick would be a twitching jig and 3rd would be a float and herring
Have you tried sickle hooks on them?
Yes! Gami big river sickle or the old matzuo hooks work great too. I landed on the mustad due to how sharp they are, offset shank, and how they perform
Please do a video on beach fishing for salmon using a bobber set-up.
Absolutely! One of my favorite ways to catch them too! Definitely on the way this fall
What knot do you tie your hooks on? I've been using an improved clinch knot, and I have had 2 break off at the knot this year. :(
Also do you ever add a stinger hook?
I tie my regular knots with a ward knot. I have a video on this tie. Very easy to use.
As for a stinger, not really. Never had a need to ona buzz bomb. Always have great hook up using the siwash to the swivel
Never fished the rotator, but I like the Zack Attacks.
Let's get them likes up!! Woot!!
Have you gone to the Puyallup yet i caught nine pinks near the gauntlet yesterday all of them still had sealice on them🎣🔥
I haven't yet but that's awesome!
I'd like to know more specific methods and setups for Chinook fishing. Almost all of the videos I've watched show pink rigs for pink salmon, but nothing specific for Chinook.
I have some chinook stuff in the works!
Hey Lucas you were picked in the giveaway video! Shoot me an email message to holymolyoutdoors@gmail.com and I will get these shipped out to you.
Thanks
@@HolyMolyOutdoors Thank you so much! Yaaay! I really appreciate it. Hope to see you soon fishing before the season ends 🙏
@@MyExRebirth Hey man just checking if you sent an email? I would love to get theses shipped out to you. Thanks!
Can you do some lead free alternatives to buzz bombs and rotators?
Absolutely! Wicked lures would be my number 1 choice and add a Dave's Tangle Free weight inline (Steel) to cast.
Hope I win the lures. Question: if you fish on the beach from the incoming tide, to the outgoing tide... Will the salmon change the direction they are facing? Thanks
Great question! I always look at the tides like a river. The fish "generally" face into the current. So it is possible once the tide shifts they may change direction but hard to say definitively
As i've stated before, I really enjoy your videos. Request: I'm dragging my boat all the way over from the Tri Cities this October to do a couple of days of
combination crabbing/squid jigging. Can you recommend a location or two where there's a ramp and crabs/squid nearby? Thanks! Gary Northrop
I’ve never heard of the rotator before.
I love the rotators!!
Could you do a video in fishing for pinks in the rivers? Thanks for all the great content
Great suggestion! Oh yes lots of river content will be coming
@@HolyMolyOutdoors thanks! I can’t wait
Is the weight of the rotator similar to the buzz bomb?
Yes they are close in weight but I will weigh them both and get back to ya
Went to three different stores to buy a rotator none of them had any. Where does one buy a rotator
They seem to be a North Puget Sound item. Outdoor Emporium has some, Sportco might as well. 3 rivers, John’s Sporting Goods, Holiday sports and a few spots on Whidbey Island. Hope that helps!
Hey man. Pick me pick me! I fish down on the fort stevens beach for coho this time of year. Come down and fish it sometime and I'll vs you in a fish off! Haha.
squid videos
Oh most definitely! I have a bunch on tap
Never caught a salmon before...
This is the time of year to get out! Lots of options
I would like to see you demonstrate how to fish a dick nite out of the back of an anchored boat. The rigging and technique. I guess it would be like plunking. AND... I hope I'm not too late for the giveaway.
Great video idea. I do have a plunking Dick nite video on our channel already but I can make one specifically to this piece. I will definitely put one together for the upcoming season! Thanks for watching!
I was telling a newbie to go get a buzz bomb - now I know I was really telling him to go get a rotator :(
Firssssttttt
If i see anyone else put a squirt under or over a buzz bomb...I swear to God kifdjiosoig..................
