I hate posting long uncut gopro clips like this, but I had a lot of people in disbelief that these fish were actually biting the spinner. So I want to make it clear to see that these were all strikes and not snagged fish. Hopefully you enjoy the cast to catch salmon action!
Well done mate,usually it’s pretty hard to catch them on spinners,I’ve never caught one on spinners but I’ll have to try harder!:)
Now that he caught and showed them,the haters will say that the river was full on salmon that why he caught them.
But haters are haters and we shouldn’t care about what they say.

Fray, I've seen them caught on a spinner bait. YES. A SPINNER BAIT! 🤣 These naysayers don't know what they're talking about. It's good to throw in some uncut video for proof every now and again. But you know whether or not you're be ethical and you seem like a decent type of guy. Thanks for taking us with you on your adventures!
@@ccmusic2249 in-line spinners and spinnerbaits are two different animals....plain inline....fethered/fur inline and rubber skirt inline are completely different animals
Awesome video! It’s crazy how many people refuse to believe they bite in rivers
For sure! Thanks !
Couldn't tell ya how many times, when showing off pics, I've heard...."Nice snag, or nice floss". Haha, NOPE!
Biggest one I ever caught (pushing 30lbs) was on a soft plastic. I was taking a break from not catching any salmon, and went up into one of the bayous of the Manistee, for some pike action.
I was using a big, 4.5-5" "minnow"...just jigging it along some sunken brush. Just as I finished the retrieve, just a moment before it came out of the water, the salmon came out from under the boat and nailed it.
They will attack out of aggression
Tim Scarff the fish bitting depends where you are fishing. I live in ny, really close to the salmon river and I’ll tell you right now in the 7 years I’ve fished there I’ve seen one coho salmon actually strike a bait. This is because of the amount of pressure on one body of water, it causes them to never bite almost ever
Bro stop replying to everyone's hateful comments, it just fuels their fire. People keep fish, I keep fish, they taste great. Keep it up brotha.
You have me wanting to fly from Florida to go fish with you! Epic channel🤙🏻
I'm from Ontario and Kings do bite out of agression in the rivers. I've watched them follow spinners and smash them like pike. Keep on keeping on man!
Right on!
Nice video dude! I went to Trail Creek this morning for my birthday and caught a steelhead on a spinner. The salmon and trout have been aggressive this year!
James Kelly im jelly...trail creek is the best....indy native
Major entertainment. So glad you popped up in my feed. On a side note Stevie Wonder could see that those fish smashed that lure! No need to justify. Thanks for the vid. You the man.
Glad you like the vids !
Great vid Fray👍 Your intros with the drone shots are inspiring!! Those spinners are also deadly for steelies!! Keep slaying 🔥🔥🔥
Way to go dude! Me and my daughter love to salmon fish in the Michigan rivers. My name is Frank and this is my daughter's and I passion. Thank you for sharing your video.
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it !
Big fish!!!! Hearing the sound of line pulling is amazing
Epic video dude 👍🏼👊🏻
Glad you like the honor xt man! I’m a prostaff for piscifun and love hearing the positive feedback! Tight lines!! Keep up the good work on the vids!
Wow man great action and good vid thanks for the run down of set up!
Nice, that's my kinda fishing there Fray! Superior run is underway. Fresh Cohos are coming in and I am going north! Ron
Nice, hope you get into them!
Hey Frays, I recently purchased some property 887 yards from the Platte river with State Land along the river. I would like to invite you up there for some fishing some time.
Hey, you can reach me at frayd@ferris.edu, thanks for reaching out !
Not always the most productive way to get it,but it definitely works! Pretty cool feeling when you get to feel the fish smack the bait. We always had good luck using thunder sticks for them.
For sure!
Heading over to the Salmon River in NY to try to catch one from my Kayak at the mouth of the river. Was wondering what to use..... now I know I was on the right track.. great video.
Just found this video! More spinning action! Impressive, I am inspired!
That 2nd salmon was a tank, good video, enjoyed the drone footage at the beginning. Really added more to the video. As always, great video, thanks for posting.
Thanks !
I am headed up to the manistee river and bear creek on October 2nd for some king fishing. This is the first time salmon fishing and your videos are a big help. Keep them coming!
Good luck!
Can’t forget about the lake browns coming into the river
Hoping I luck into one this fall!
Was fishing for them this past week and they were awesome...
That first one hammered that. Catching em casting is so fun!
Sweet shots in the beginning, especially the shot when you focus on your setup. If I'm using hardware like that I usually run alot heavier of a leader. Keep Killin it brother
Wow I’ve only used cotton and trebles 🥶 thank you for sharing this🤙🦅 I’m going to watch this a bunch of times an plan the pilgrimage
spoons and spinners work great on salmon and steelhead if you know how to use them right. bait works well if you sit in a hole all day casting at the same fish. spinners and spoons are best fished covering water and fishing places float and drift fisherman wont or cant fish. never hurts to fish after a bait fisherman or fly fisherman has moved through.
Oh how I love Michigan and it's amazing fisheries. Every year I've been to Baldwin(15) years there's been a bmw from New York to fish the Pere Marquette. There are big ones in there tho, my biggest produced 35lbs of meat🙏
Awesome !
Wow I have always thought they are not gonna bite when they are in the river but nice to see they are still active! Tight lines!
Some will bite, not all but a few!
Great videos man. Been following you for a while now and this is nice that you threw in something different. Btw I love those spinners. Got them in the spring for coho and man they are killers. Caught multiple coho on them and throwing them for kings now.
Epic video man! The hardware bite can be downright addicting
do you fish earlier in the run(when roughly was this) and closer to the mouth of the river? Fishing closer to tippy on manistee around the bend and below dam wondering if they would still hit so we dont have to just floss
Yep every fisher man should know that .. I use spinner s too in slow water..
Are you salmon fishing in the upper piece of michigan or the lower piece of Michigan? I'm wondering if they are running already here in Wisconsin
This is in NW Michigan, they are running down south as well here
Sconnie native here, they are staging in harbors along the Michigan coastline here right now about 20fow. Not many fish in the system, but give it a few weeks. Working the piers would be your best bet at the moment. Our waters are shallower than Michigan so the runs don't correlate quite as well. Tight lines
When you caught the second fish I was like don’t break your rod now since it was bending so much
Great Catch , Great VIDEO...if u don't mind me asking what lb test is your line and what kind of line are u using??
I fish the grand river, st, Joseph, white river, and the rogue river.
I'd like to see a link on where to get that spinner I can't find it anywhere. Sorry I'm 3 years back in your feed lol
Dude that is insane right now on the Clackamas river here in Oregon the coho are just starting to run and they barely even bite on the spinners.
Great video! I am spending the week in Kewadin, MI. Where can I find some of those Arctic Spinners?
Sick vid bro. I just moved to the Holland area. Can you give me a tip on which rivers/streams to fish for Steelhead?
Were you running flouro leader? Or straight braid to the spinner? Nice vid 👍
20lb mono leader
Fray....I hear the DNR has been planting Atlantic Salmon in the Au Sable River and they are starting to have good runs in late October and November. Other people say it is not true? What have you heard?
I have heard about this as well, its true i think. only one way to find out!
New to salmon fishing smaller rivers. I bought a 10.5MH baitcaster. My intent is to float fish, but throw some spinners too. I know the 10.5 is a little long for that. What rod do you throw your hard baits on? Could I downsize on length for float fishing too? I’m used to float fishing larger rivers for steelhead with a 13ft. Thanks!
Liked and loved. Sully and I watched this together tonight. The drone shot in the beginning is really cool.
We got 5 nice coho on saturday and brought 2 home and grilled them.
Thank you for the vidya...good luck w school too.
man what an awesome fishery, huge kings packed in a small river that actually bite! damn son
It has its good days for sure !
Gearing up for this upcoming season. Yet to land my first King, but hoping this will be the year. Was thinking of getting that reel. Any downside to going up to the 4000 size? Want to use the reel for pier fishing too. Thanks!
what part are you at on the manistee river ? i swear i have kayaked past that downed pine before...
Very cool. Betsie or Platte river by any chance. Looked familiar
How many lb line are you using and what brand ? My nephew and I went to the Muskegon river and had lots of hits but lost nearly every one and we ran 20 lb line but it was like they were using knives to bite ? Two shakes and the line tore ? Just wondered ...
I've got a couple questions,
1, do/did the kings meat hold up just as good as the more chrome one?
do you catch any regular run of the mill salmon, or are they Atlantic and P.N.W. that come to that part of where you were fishing?
great job keeping the kings on that tiny rod and reel big guy!
If your asking if the meat of the brown king's when they are in the river is good like the silver ones then it's pretty similar the brown ones are just leaner
Love it, keep em coming! Ignore all haters!
Very cool river video!
Salmon bite spinners! I smacked a chromer on a spinner on saturaday in a creek.
Nice!
Is there a length limit on the handle of your net? I don’t care I just only have a normal rubber landing net and don’t want to cut my handle off 😂
I'm from washington so I'm not sure if the fish react differently but i do good on spoons and spinners. Recently I've been wondering if i could get one to hit a spinner bait i would use for bass.
Im new to river fishing. Trynna get up there before season ends. Do u think the run is still on for the next 2 weeks? Also do u think manistee or muskegon? Any tips would be appreciated to catch my first salmon and first river fish
Bass plugs work hot especially crawdads work hot
Any good places you’d recommend to go to for a first time salmon Fisher in Michigan?
Hunter Ebright they are hitting hard in tippy dam
Idk if it works there but maybe you could try twitching a jig. We do that here in WA state and it works well
Wow another great video Fray!
Thanks man!
I know this video is old but I've moved to the U.P and really need somewhere to catch the kings. Any help would be great,
Your stuff is great keep at it and keep sharing!
Sweet vid man
Thanks !
love the comment on the car ride back and reflecting on what you did wrong, shit made me chuckle
Never clicked faster love
Fish fray ...🍁💪
Hey man, big fan. I am planning on salmon fishing this season. I am a medical student, and just moved out here last year. I am used to fishing for smaller trout, so I'm not sure the gear I need for salmon fishing. May I ask what line you use? Monofilament, braided, or fluorocarbon? I just want to make sure mine doesn't give out on me. Also love your posts on Michigan Sportsman
Awesome vid bud i really like that reel quick question are the bearings sealed? I fish for salmon in tidewater the salt can destroy reels also where can i order one, tightlines man thanks for the awesome content 👊😀
Excellent as always 👍 keep it up 🎣🔥
Do you use single or treble hooks for those spinners?
Hey man I live in Michigan did I miss the run? Do you think it’s to late to try for some salmon?
It is only beginning , September and October are the prime months
Hey Fish Fray, have you tried fish the spinner upstream more and make it turn in front of the fish so its deeper down wehn it turns in front of the fish, because it seems they are protecting teritory like wehn we fish for atlantic salmon in denmark. Upstream fishing is clearly more effective if you know how to use it in denmark. Watch Andreas Lyngø on youtube you will se a lot about spin fishing. And if you want the same spinners hes using search for spintec on the internet.
I do try to get an upstream presentation with the spinners but sometimes with these ones it's hard to get the blade to turn that way
Love it!!!Great video great cach 💥👍🤟🎣🎣🎣
Can you tell what place do you fish ? I live in wheeling IL
I'm from Michigan and have been tryna catch a salmon forever on the manistee. Teach me and show me the spots !
Should try the steelhead run on the white
I’ve lived in Manistique all my life and this doesn’t look like the Manistique river anywhere below the damn
I live in washington and they definitely bite spinners. They bite out of agression. Keep showing these googans what's up. Great content.
What spinners work best for you? Still trying to get my first salmon on a spinner.
I am 11 and I am getting a centerpin soon and love your vids dude and where do you fish?
Ordered Arctic Spinners back in August because you recommended them, still haven't received them but they immediately took the money from my account.
Unfortunately a lot of rivers have hook and tackle restrictions
Hey, are there any regulations in Michigan on how long your fly rod can be to fish for them? Can you use a double handed fly rod?
No length requirements that I know of , a lot of people do spey fish
Anyone know the hook sizing on these Arctic Spinners? I know certain rivers don't allow trebles with a gap of over 3/8 inch..
Great video, and nice fish!
Thanks !
You kick major ass brother!
Do you think you can get away with not using a liter? I have 10lb super slick thats only got 2lb visibility.
Most likely
I know im late but what set up where u using
How recent is this and what river I might have to make a fishing trip to Michigan
This had to be the last 2-3 week
Beautiful day on the Lower Pere Marquette
Or Platte
Is that a straight up bass fishing spinner bait?
Don't let the haters talk their shit, I fish those same Arctic Spinners every Fall in Michigan have caught Kings, Coho, Steelhead and Native Brown Trout. I've used them everywhere from the Kalamazoo River, Manistee to the Betsie and while not as effective as floating spawn, you throw a lure like that enough times in front of an aggressive fish like that and sooner or later it's going to piss them off enough to smash it.
What's is name of spinner you're using and where I can buy it?
+Fish Fray What size spinners are you using to catch salmon?
1/4 ounce
You’re great !
What kind of spinner did you use?
Arctic spinner
Wat line u using and pound ?
WHAT KIND OF SPIINERS ARE YOU USING
In Germany you would need 3 lifes to catch a salmon like this 😩
Great video but you should release more because the salmon runs are dying everywhere
Up here in our neck of the woods (Michigan), the salmon runs are better than they've been in 30+ years due to much better DNR management and reduced stocking. Keeping a few won't hurt the population.
Sucks I can’t find these lures on Amazon
where did you buy that yellow spinner? what brand and size?
Arctic Spinner, 5/16 ounce
@@FishFray where can i buy it?
awesome fishing, what spinnerbait are you using?
arctic spinner
What rod did you use here?
