Greetings from Southern Humboldt. Nice Chicamasas you got there. Lol You guys buy those for fishing? I know the answer Ll ready.... Some trimmer left them behind. Your videos are great. Keep em coming
Several years ago between June and july, I used to go up to the Bonneville dam on the Washington side and fish sturgeon. We would go up just below the dam and catch shad for bait. After we got a few we would go down stream a few hundred yards and cast half a shad as far as we could. Caught so many oversized sturgeon it was ridiculous! That section of the river river has since been closed, but the memories made are irreplaceable
You guys got such an awesome friendship, I lost my fishing buddy once he had his two kids. Be grateful you have each other to go fishing and adventuring with that's rare!
NIce catch!!! My brother and I have fished the Coos River up by the forks into the Milicoma River and catch sturgeon during the day and stripers all night long!! Love it
A couple rivers in the southwest zone have them. And honestly, their numbers are starting to boom, I would assume many more rivers will be getting bigger numbers. But mostly south because of the temps
Dude ive only HEARD about stripers in Oregon... Your the first I've ever seen to actually catch them, wow!!! I gotta get down there and do this one day how awesome!
We're going to be moving up there from down here in Sacramento soon. I'm going to miss the striper fishing down here in the delta. We call those pike minnows striper candy, they love them down here. Nice catch 👍
@@TheBite2020 A friend of mine pickles shad and likes them. We here regularly pickle smaller kokanee cut into chunks.....and it is every much as good as store bought pickled herring, maybe even better tasting. Cut them into 3/4" chunks and of course wash those scales off the kokanee first, so the brine stays nicer to look at, less milky. The pickling process dissolves the bones well, especially in the kokes under 12" long. I was wondering....In your opinion has the Oregon striper fishing been trashed by higher ocean temps or is there still a viable fishery there today?
@@allanclose9684 what real fishermen does? That’s fishing 101, you don’t give up the spots you spend years to find, unless you getting paid to.. they haven’t sold their soles yet, more power to them.
Rad clip! You guys ever hook any sturgeon in there? Sucks you can't keep them anymore. There pretty abundant in the estuaries to north. Lots of oversize .
@@TheBite2020 There are 4 species of Pikeminnow native to the American West. They have lived here in harmony with the PNW environment for the thousands of years the salmonid species have been ascending these rivers. I understand that the Pikeminnow eat salmon and steelhead smolt but the bulk of the pressure on the Salmon population comes from humans activities.
@@TheBite2020 Not the same definition as invasive species. Invasive implies non-native species that have an immediate detrimental impact...like red ear slider turtles or tui chubs in diamond lake. Killing them for the sake of killing them is not only bad fishing karma, it is unethical.
@@randymagnum8721 So... Agreed ... +/-, That it's not the same definition by common vernacular, but it actually can be... We go over this in another episode and specific talk about how the pike minnow is actually native fish. The point meant was that they often treated the same as if they where not due to the damage they can do to a body of water. Pike Minnow are a native fish , but there population has gotten so out of control that in many places there is a bounty on them, and the fisheries department will pay you to remove them from the river. Although the word Invasive as become synonymous with foreign, the definition of invasive is actually: Tending to spread prolifically and undesirably or harmfully.... So something can be native and also invasive.
@@randymagnum8721 Also just for what its worth , We never kill anything just for the sake of killing it, that would be horrible, totally not our style, and not how we operate at all. When we decide to take the life of fish especially if it's not a fish we plan to eat, it's with a conscious mind...
Did it bite on the shad or one of your other baits? Lovely fish, thanks for keeping the spot secret. I've tried it a few times with shad, to no avail; although I've seen some stout stripers come ashore there. Congratulations, I can relate to the elation!
im all for keeping a honey hole secret ,,just want to know what basic area that was .im disabled not able to get that close to the water but i could fish from my chair there ,how about it
Agreed actually, we'll probably start having more in between time, and hopefully be able to have better music because as well, dealing with a lot of copyright issues as far as music goes....
the problem with posting these videos is that it brings way to much attention and information about this fishery that people who don't live in this area . They show up and start over fishing it including guides. Its cool that you are catching these fish but just don't post videos and pictures on these and other public platforms. The best kept secret is one not told. Help out the local anglers and keep these fish under wraps. It doesn't take much to figure out where you are catching these and the rivers they are in. That same area had 22 cars lined up the other day. Most not local anglers.
While that sounds good, the coastal towns mostly survive from tourist dollars. Ever since the logging collapse, coastal towns need tourism, including fishing.
That was my first guess but looks kinda wide.. im not that familiar with Smith tho. Im actually going tomorrow w some plugs and swimbaits in the boat up the smith. Dropping in reedsport. Fingers crossed

Good job like your video
Thank you
Greetings from Southern Humboldt. Nice Chicamasas you got there. Lol
You guys buy those for fishing? I know the answer Ll ready....
Some trimmer left them behind.
Your videos are great. Keep em coming
Is there an exception for stripers and using multiple rods in a river?
We caught a lot of fish are there we fished at like 30 years pull up and down
They are in ..hooking them today same spot
Nice man, how many
@@TheBite2020 4
Yeah buddy!!!!
Guys what happened we need new vids!

Bet you have a ton of great stories. Thanks for the comment
Are you fishing off 101?
You guys got such an awesome friendship, I lost my fishing buddy once he had his two kids. Be grateful you have each other to go fishing and adventuring with that's rare!
Thanks for the comment man 🙏
NIce catch!!! My brother and I have fished the Coos River up by the forks into the Milicoma River and catch sturgeon during the day and stripers all night long!! Love it
My family are all from the Reedsport area. One of my cousins caught a 35lb striper at the mouth of Noel creek on the Smith river in the 70's.
I’m in tigard oregon how far do I have to travel to target these?
A couple rivers in the southwest zone have them. And honestly, their numbers are starting to boom, I would assume many more rivers will be getting bigger numbers. But mostly south because of the temps
throw it back keep the fishery alive.
A MONSTER!!! NICE WORK
Dude ive only HEARD about stripers in Oregon... Your the first I've ever seen to actually catch them, wow!!! I gotta get down there and do this one day how awesome!
I have only caught one striper and it was a15 lbs out of San Francisco on a bucktail jig. It was delicious!
Oh man they are delicious
nice im comingnext week to get one
I'm from Seattle it's my dream to catch Striper this year :)
We're going to be moving up there from down here in Sacramento soon. I'm going to miss the striper fishing down here in the delta. We call those pike minnows striper candy, they love them down here. Nice catch 👍
Congrats
Thanks Jw
Surprised to hear stripes in umpqua and also could you catch sturgeon? Thanks for the video.
It would be awesome to see a video on trolling for stripes in the umpqua! How long have they been there?
State record was caught out of the Umpqua some years ago... And the sturgeon are pretty hard to target but are definitely in there...
Rainbow trout fresh caught for sturgeon anywhere in oregon. Hands down you will straight up get bit.
Shad are good fighters like baby tarpon? Have you ever pickled them for food?
They call them the poor mans Tarpon... , had them pickled and can before , but never done it myself, hoping to do a Shad catch and cook this spring...

Nice one guys! I'm enjoying your chanel on my lunch break (3am) it's alot better than nothing. Lol
Goal achieved
You look super familiar! Did you live in Eugene?
Which one of us are you referring too?
@@TheBite2020 guy who fought bass. Sorry didn't catch names
Both of us from the Eugene area yes
@@TheBite2020 right on! Pretty sure we have met. Maybe I can catch my first one this year!
You say your name was josh?
Great catch Guys! I know how difficult it can be. I've fished many times for them same area with no success. Timing is everything.
What is that pack you got hanging from your waist along the side of your leg?
Looks like a handgun holster with an extra lil side pocket or magazine pocket
@@chancebeall7220 Get one at the hardware store, all carpenters wear them.
Amazing bros cant wait to go catch stripers
How good of bait is shad for strippers I definitely want to fish for them this year
Excellent bait. But they are picky, some nights they want one thing but that could change the next. Have multiple baits on you ready to go
@@TheBite2020 my buddy fishes for them he said they great eating fish I hope I can get lucky a get one
Definitely great eating!!!
Look forward to Shad Season again...
They still in there? Headed down in a bit. No Shad tho lol.
The music is so terrible I may need to tur it OFF!
@@lewislinzy3437 tur it up!
Some one should be paying you guys!!!!
Appreciate all the love and comments man
They wont answer where they are or what river so i wont support them.
@@allanclose9684 what real fishermen does? That’s fishing 101, you don’t give up the spots you spend years to find, unless you getting paid to.. they haven’t sold their soles yet, more power to them.
Hell yeah nice catch!
Rad clip! You guys ever hook any sturgeon in there? Sucks you can't keep them anymore. There pretty abundant in the estuaries to north. Lots of oversize .
Location for both fishing spots? Looking to stripper fish for the first time. Probably will be fishing with bwear bassin another UA-camr.

Coquille and Smith river. Oregon striper rivers
I've also heard the Chetco, Rogue, Siuslaw, Columbia, even the Alsea. But we weren't at any of those...
@@TheBite2020I seen a dude catch one at Rockaway Beach surf perch fishing. That's pretty far north

It took that fresh shad
no secrets when you post videos of where you catch these
Black pitch much hotter starter....
We switch up every couple months... I liked this one a lot too
you should have threw that pike minnow on a live bait rig, they catch the 50lbers. greetings from portland oregon, from the bay area
im all for keeping a honey hole secret ,,just want to know what basic area that was .im disabled not able to get that close to the water but i could fish from my chair there ,how about it
I'm here in Southern Oregon. Obviously I don't want to ask exactly where you are but how far up the Umpqua should we be fishing for the stripers?
Saltwater
Is it good on smith river up higher in Spring? Never been and want to go this year!
Looks like Sparrow Rd.. in Gardiner.. just north of Reedsport.. it’ll get you down to the river
I wanna do this again ASAP
Yeah
No music sometimes would be good.
Agreed actually, we'll probably start having more in between time, and hopefully be able to have better music because as well, dealing with a lot of copyright issues as far as music goes....

Hahaha bro you don't own the rivers or the fish get over yourself hahaha
Stripers are invasive and kill the heck out of salmon and steelhead smolt anyhow, let's overfish the stripers
Ha,ha,ha letting everybody think you caught that on the Umpqua. That ain't hwy 38 behind you.
Kinda looks coosy to me
@@bdubs7254 Smith river.
That was my first guess but looks kinda wide.. im not that familiar with Smith tho. Im actually going tomorrow w some plugs and swimbaits in the boat up the smith. Dropping in reedsport. Fingers crossed
@@bdubs7254 good luck, lived on the Smith when I was a kid.
Well i bet you know all the little honey holes huh!! Just got off th dock. Thanks for the luck
nice bud...
nice striper ! I just moved to Oregon from California ! gonna go try that, sound like here in Oregon the striper are most active at nite.
We want to join u guys one day
What river were you fishing for strippers
Looks like the umpqua
@@PremiumDreams They rarly say as they think thousands of people will go there, which is no going to happen, which is why i dont support them.
I heard the Smith river is best!?
What size and kind of line do you use?
50# braid main with a 25# mono leader
We caught a lot of fish are there we fished at like 30 years pull up and down
