Salmon River Salmon Fishing Pulaski N.Y. | Big Kings

- Took a drive to the salmon river in pulaski New York. The salmon were just starting to move through the DSR. I wasnt sure if I was actually going to see any salmon moving up the run but that opinion faded quickly. I saw a lot of king salmon (chinook salmon) moving and a few brown trout. I did not see any coho moving yet. I was fortunate to hook on my first king salmon of the year on the salmon. I also met some really great people on this trip and met a subscriber, which I helped get him on his first salmon ever. The salmon river is coming back to life with fish and pulaski is starting to get busy yet again. Salmon deason is upon us!!!!
We loved helping you! My boys absolutely loved it and my oldest Seamus hasn't stopped talking about you and that day!!! My fiancee and my daughters and my son's lived it and can't wait to go fishing again!!!!!!
It was such a pleasure meeting you all! Hopefully we'll bump into eachother on the river again! Hope all is well. Tell everyone i say hi!
That’s awesome
Enjoy very much watching your video chin you're video you are a gentleman and a true sportsman we need more sportsmen like you I will be going up for the 1st time to the salmon river for kings hope I will get to meet you up there.
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏. And best of luck to you! Seems like they are finally starting to come in. Im gonna try this coming Wednesday. Should be a steady trickle by that time
I don’t live very far from Palaski…About 60 miles south. I have fly fished for stream trout my entire life. But in all that time I’ve never gone after the big boys “Salmon-Steelhead”. Why, I couldn’t tell ya. Well, this year, I finally decided to GO FOR IT. Bought some new gear that can handle those monsters, and I’ll be hitting that river very soon. Really looking forward to the new experience. Wish me luck!!
Time to change that up bud! Hope you have a blast up there!

@@jagfishing836 fishing in the rain?
@@pika0714 lol i hate that, but im saying a day or 2 of good rain soon would hopefully get the levels up a bit 🤷♂️
Great video. That's so wholesome to get to run into people like that in Pulaski.
Was that you at greene gastation this morning,we let you go threw to walk to your truck and the back of the window on the truck said jag fishing youtube.had the eye tat on the arm.im like hey that's the channel.dad and I watch on youtube
Yup that wldve been me lol. Thanks for the support from you and your dad! thats really awesome i appreciate it greatly 🙏
@@jagfishing836 your welcome.i told him I think I seen you at the gas station he say what really what's he doing here lol.
Haha i live right in town actually
@@jagfishing836 lol that's funny you live in greene to.
Do you ever go fishing with anyone off camera?
The black hole and the rapids above the DSR are my favorite spots.
Rhats my go to before the crowds hit. Definitely a great choke point
Jag Fishing are you local to NY?
@@CanAmrules im from chenango county
Jag Fishing that’s awesome! I’m from Jefferson county! We should get together and do some fishing sometime
@@CanAmrules i am definitely ok with that. Look me up on Facebook
I will be up on the Salmon River Oct 9 - 14th. 28th year doing this I'm from West Springfield Massachusetts
We stay at our buddies place Salmon River Outfitters come check them out there are on 44 Bridge Street Altmar New York
I just left salmon river and I'm watching videos missing it already.
I know the feeling man haha. I wanna go tomorrow but weathers gonna be crap and im pretty sick so i dont know if ill be going. How did you do?
@@jagfishing836 I caught a few that weren't zombies and had a great time. I live on lake champlain so it's nice to change it up from pike fishing.
@@craigstaley1760 man id love to do some pike fishing, i have not a single decent spot for them lol. Glad you had a good time tho bud
@@jagfishing836 just send me a message if you're ever in Clinton county and I'm sure we can get you a new PB for pike.
@@craigstaley1760 man thats a haul but i wpuld definitely take you up on that offer for sure! Whats the best time of year over there?
New sub here....I'm looking to get to Pulaski to catch my first Salmon ever. That rod would be perfect. That a Med Heavy?. Thanks for the tips and maybe I'll see you there in Sept -- Oct
Thanks for the support! It is a med heavy and its perfect for starting out. You can go to something better if you would like but that is sufficient. I havent encountered a problem yet. Glad you found the video helpful
Cool video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
I'm going up for my first time this year, and I can't believe the smaller gear and ability to catch these monsters on nothing but an ORANGE SPONGE. Crazy. I'll be there from October 2nd - 9th. Tight lines my dude and thanks for the info.
Glad that ypu found the video helpful! If ur gonna be there in october they will probable be more line shine so if you see them avoiding your line sometimes you gotta go down to 6lb test for the leader. Good luck out on the river!
@@jagfishing836 Thanks for the extra tip. I'm gearing up now and plan on bringing 6/10/12 floro clear lines for leaders as to not get stuck without multiple options.
Fill that bag up man.... i like to use the vanish line. It works well but by all means go for your favorite as you see fit. I also have another video that you might find useful about the setup i use on the river if you get bored.

Good video, keep up the great work and the good fishin!
Thanks i appreciate the kind words
That looks like an absolute blast dude!!
Good times 😁😁
Nice fish jag miss you bro been away back at on UA-cam.
Yea man im on and off its hard to juggle with real life lol
How heavy was your main line and leader?
My main is 17lb yozuri. Leader will vary on water conditions and spot im fishing. Anywhere from 6-12lb. I try to stay around 8 if i can.
@@jagfishing836 what situation would you fish the 6lb and what situation would you fish the 12lb??
Id go 6 if its slower clear moving water. If im fishing rapids or water clarity is on the dirty side ill move up to 12. Essentially its because these fish are so line shy
Sick man love it! Even more happy that you shared the fish like that with a stranger. Awesome job, that was really nice of you. We need more anglers like you out there, for real. People can be such jerks. I hit that subscribe button man, love your channel.
Thabks for the kind words man i appreciate it! I see so many people being dirt bags and it bothers me so much. It was really cool to be able to put that dude on a fish. Good feeling man
Awesome watch
Thank you 🙏
That was so awesome for your first King to be that big beautiful rascal. It looked like he was giving you a guided tour of the river, haha. That was a wonderful gesture for you to put him on his first ever King, great way to share the joy of fishing.
I love salmon fishing and yes so nice for my first river king of the season to be an absolute monster! That was such an awesome experience to help someone! Hope all is good on your end my brother
"Flossing", you mean snagging.
You have nothing better to do then hate?
@@marylovesmakeup1000 Piss on people who snag. Sorry if that offends you lol
That was a giant bro. Nice first one. So glad you captured all that on film. I know you were incredibly excited. Good angle/view with the second camera.
Thabks man, it was 38 1/4 inches and 31 pounds even. Im just glad my hands werent in the way of the gopro lol
Basically your snagging
Completely.
No doubt about it
Good.
That’s what you do bro. The salmons stomachs shrivels up and they’re not inclined to eat
How can you add pics of salmon on here
I dont think that you can 🤔🤔
What kind of sponge do you use and where can I get some?
Fat nancys in town.... or any store up there really
Very nice! I was there Sat and had no luck. Next time gotta go to DSR. I had 25lb fluorocarbon leader guess maybe that was my mistake. Next time 20 and 12lb and maybe better luck
I would not go anymore than 15 main and 12 leader.... and thats heavy. Now with shallow and clear water id even go down to a 8-10 leader to be honest
Fun times out there Jag. Nice to meet up with Brian, great catch for him as well. You need some rain to bring some more fish in, that water is so clear. Awesome video pal, best time of year.
That was an awesome experience such a great time..... actually on my way back now! Haha
So awesome Jag!! Have to say I’m a little jealous. We have it made here in Maine, but are lacking the big sea run salmon. We have Atlantic’s, but can’t fish them!!
I love this time of year. We have mainly chinook, coho, steelhead and the occasional atlantic which im yet to catch
That was a great catch! And how cool is that getting that guy on his first salmon!
Omg dude it was so awesome to be able to help someone
A while back I hired a charter boat in the area to fish for salmon and and lake trout in August before they started their run. They fight much harder in the lake and they are bright silver.
Absolutely agree 100%
Crushing it man
Trying too bud haha
What's the keeping and size limits there for salmon? I will be going there soon this will be my first time for salmon fishing.
I go over all the regulations in this video
ua-cam.com/video/FhC-N4fkRAs/v-deo.html
@@jagfishing836 hi yes I saw video great information thats what I need it another question is salmon season start right now ? And what season is best for salmon ? And I have ny fishing licenses that should be included with salmon? Thanks
Hey men,I am looking to fish for salmon ,when is the best month for coming to fish?
On the river usually its around October. But u have to keep an eye on reports to be sure
Jag you are bad ass I fish down there. One day I will meet you on the river
Heck yea man hope to bump into you there! Ill be out there tomorrow, hope to get on a few
Hopefully be at the ballpark Tuesday and Wednesday then heading to the hole iam from fortcovington NY should check out the small mouth out hear in the spring they are crazy ultra light rods 4 lbs line and the fun begins. Keep the videos coming and the lines tight and the drag screaming
@@glenlotowitz5210 thanks man, smallies are always a great time
Love the vid and also up near the salmon river there is a lady that lets you fish for salmon and I go up there every year
Thanks i appreciate it. I know where youre talking about too i just wont say it publicly. However, she told me few days ago its not worth it. Not enough water for them to get up there 😒
Hahahaha that was on Saturday......got news for ya I've fished every stretch of that river for 25 yrs. I was on the river Saturday up near Altmar...saw 10 fish in 4 days.....fact!
I believe it i have a buddy who caught 2 in altmar a week ago. Theyre getting in there.
@@jagfishing836 No fish in the estuary as of 11:00 this a.m. what's that tell ya?😲
@@chrisjones8515 yea man its gonna be a difficult one
Just got home from there a little while ago, can't wait til they really start to run
How did you make out? Im going out tomorrow
@@jagfishing836 not to good, lost one today and only saw a couple yesterday. Def need a lot of rain and the temp to drop. the water was very warm today
@@aarondnls24 yea thats been the story lately. Hope todays rain and lower temos kick em up
Jag Fishing I was there from dusk to dawn yesterday with no luck. Do you have any tips or other spots to try? I tried out the ball park, staircase, town pool, trestle pool and one other to no avail
Those are all places i fish too. I literally just do my best to stay on top of the reports and try to figure out where they are. They have to go through every inch of that river so in my opinion a bad spot today can be the best spot tomorrow. You just never know
Jag,i would like to go fishing in ny for salmon,what month is the best way for catching?.Thank you
ua-cam.com/video/FhC-N4fkRAs/v-deo.html
But ,what mouth of the year is the best for salmon fishing?
Could you please,tell me when season starts for salmon?
You have to look at the reports. Each year is a little different. Usually late september - october is the best
Jag,sorry for another question,but where I can find the reports could you please share any websites.Thank you.
Nice big chinook Jag!
Thabks budddddy
That was a beauty Jag , Congrats buddy , you got some new young subs that day hehehe. Hey you got him in the mouth and that’s flossing which is different than snagging. Hey but what do I know I’ve never caught a salmon. Good on Brian for letting his go due to being hooked outside the mouth. A lot of guys would have kept it. Tight lines buddy.
Sweet. Heading up next weekend. Hope my son catches one.
Best of luck! Lets hope he gets on a monster!!!!
We need water in the river pickins are slim man gotta hunt hard blv me.....
Good for you man!! Fishing’s been tough so far when I’ve been up there
Yea its definitely been an issue with how little water there is and the high temps
Jag Fishing yeah for sure man
Gotta love the fall salmon run!
Thanks broski
The jagster!!! Nice
Thanks brother
Nice rig, couple of split shit and some sponge, great snagging rig!
Do u live near the salmon river
No unfortunately im about 2 hours away
Dont mind all the haters man. Awesome video been going up there my whole life I know what its about. Keep up with the great videos!
Thabks brother i appreciate it greatly
Water is going to be a problem up there this year.
Yea it definitely has been an issue. Need rain bad
Yup was there 4 days saw 10 fish.....
So I put a split shots 3 feet away from a hook and cast it in front I hope I catch one I wanna get one
We were just there on Thursday and there was maybe five fish there we didn’t hook up with anything
Im going back up tomorrow. Gonna hit the middle of the run see whats going on there
Jag Fishing I thought about coming back up in two weeks when there actually there. We hit five different places and the only place we hooked up was at the east side píer. I got two Kong’s and a brown trout
@@archeryking08 the subscriber in this video actually hooked up on a brown that day unfortunately didnt have it on camera. Im gonna be positive and say im going to limit out tmrw 🙃
Jag Fishing awesome I saw the run is on full now 🤦🏻♂️and of course I won’t be able to make it back up again
@@archeryking08 always a hot or miss man...... ill try to go up Wednesday if it aint raining.....well see
great work brother, would love to make it up there one day
Thumbs up! Nice job! Amazing work getting that guy On a fish! Good job landing your monster. They can’t taste that good being they size can they?
Are these the salmon that eventually die?
Yea they're on the way to their final resting place. They definitely lose a lot of taste but still decent. If you get it smoked theyre pretty darn good actually
Jag Fishing on that note why any of these fools butt hurt about how you catch them! They dying anyway. They just hatin cause their not getting them
I have no idea, despite what these people say it is 100% legal 🤦♂️
Hi I’m heading up tomorrow with my son and girlfriend, where would you recommend going and where are you in the video?We all like to spin fish. Last year was our first time and we went to the Town Pool and Black Hole. I hooked into 1 but lost it. It was a great experience to say the least. I’ve been hearing the fishing is a little slow due to the lack of rain but we are heading up anyway. Just trying to hit the right spots. Thanks again and great video!
Its extremely slow, we need water desperately. I would stick to the lower section for sure. If you are already familiar with the black hole id probably head there
@@jagfishing836 i New that was the black hole I was there last Sunday but they weren't biting at all for any one. Nice fish
I was fishing beside that dude you were talking to too lmao
its me mason im your soons frenind
Hey buddy, thabks for stopping by
That's awesome I can't wait!
Fing King Kuomo won't let me in to the People's Republic of New Yorkastan!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good , stay out
@@roberta.k4213 fu prick.. I used to live there. I escaped the shithole that was once a great place to live and work.
Going up to Pulaski in a couple weeks looking for my first salmon. These videos are really giving me some positivity. I hooked into one no eater years ago but the locals casted over my line and I lost it. Every since then I’ve been dreaming of the day I catch one. Hopefully this is the year. What do you think of a phfluger reel ?
Best of luck to you brother but we gotta pray for rain its bad on the river now water levels are way low. Thats a great reel man. I personally use a cheap ugly atick setup because ive seen these salmon wreck some expensive gear. Just remember to play the fiah right and make sure that drag is set low. Come back and let me know how you did after your trip!!!!
Way to Go!
The more you go the more you learn. I recomend using a longer pole...8-9 feet for a more gradual bend on the line. You will also land more fish. Also, a piece of advice, you shouldn't use sponge that's a dead snaggers giveaway. Plastic eggs or flies gives you a chance at them aggressively striking it. Good times!
Snag them mud sharks!
And it is VERY easy!!!
Dude I might come to slamon river on Tuesday
How did you get it so fast!
They won’t bite you have to snag.
Dude such an awesome video! Those are so big! Did you end up eating it?? (Mike)
Sure did brother 😎
That was so awesome for your first King to be that big beautiful rascal. It looked like he was giving you a guided tour of the river, haha
It was more of a tour than a fight for sure it was hot they had no energy lol
Is that an octopus hook?
Yes it is
I was up there yesterday day and today in the same spot
Any luck?
Would you recommend Town Pool or Staircase?
Probably a decent choice right now
Any issues with you losing fish with 12 lb leader those are some strong fish. Also some advice do not ever handle a. Fish without gloves These fish can get hooked several times and will have hooks or flies on them
It depends on how you play with em. Sometimes they take off like a train and you dont stand a chance but ive also caught them on 8lb leader before in clear water because they see that line
I guessing that fish wasn’t 30 lbs ... more like low 20’s. Anyway... awesome fish.
How can you call it that guys first salmon when it was snagged? A first salmon is and should be caught in the mouth (hooked from the inside out), legally. Learn how to centerpin with egg sacs, skein, flies, beads, etc. and feel a real bite from a salmon rather than flossing them with a piece of sponge. 👍
👍👍. Guy thinks he is a pro
I’m just here for the angry comments 🍿
Lol Jim, me too 🤣.
Plenty of them haha
Me too... Most of the angry ones accuse everybody of snagging because they can't catch them. Jag is at least honest about it. Will salmon bite? Hell yes they will... But it sure gets tough after the Russians have been throwing treble hooks with a pound of lead on the line... Doubt they are doing it?? Go to the Ballpark this morning or Monday. They don't even try to hide it. King Kuomo should send all of the DEC in there and throw them all in jail til they pay up.
Same 😆
Where is that spot
Congrats on that salmon Jag! I want to get on one, especially at the salmon river! Good video buddy! 🤟🏻👊🏻
Thanks bro
That was one of the most uneventful fights I’ve ever seen haha
Should chang your name to "Snag Fishing"
🤣🤣 i love it!
Snaginowski!!
@@gmoneystrong2477 hahaha jim youre killing me bro
It’s called Snaging, please take off this video
Yes sir!!! i am taking it down immediately due to your request 👍
Jag Fishing 😆
@@darrensnorthernlife1184 🤣🤣🤣
This is an absolute joke
Flossing isn’t snaging because if you sang the salmon you have to let go of the salmon and when you floss salmon in the mouth you can keepm witch means FLOSSING ISN’T SNAGING.
Lmfao hahah its not easy? Huh u most not going to the right spots lol
