Thank you guys for sharing your video gave me a few spots and also help me find a charter... should do some type of raffle or drawing allow a fan to go on a fishing trip with you. Even if it was some public area or Pier I wouldn't be interested
I’m completely new to salmon fishing, so this might sound stupid but what is the bait you used on the end of the rig? Plan on heading to South Haven in the spring to try and catch some. Thanks for the vid, it was really helpful!
I have been trying to find a spot in Michigan that’s somewhat near the border of ohio but I don’t mind making a drive for a good spot. But I’m trying to find a spot where I can wade/or access fishing spot where I can catch some salmon? I’m eager for the steelhead season here and was thinking about making a drive here at the end of the month
In the fall the st joe river Kalamazoo river and grand river all have healthy runs of coho and kings. There's some steelhead opportunity on the east side of the state along with a good chance at Atlantic salmon.
People cannot tell you that. Once people find out where this place is, it will be over fished with too many people fishing. Millions of people watch UA-cam....
@@DongWang-m4n because it takes pressure off of the drag discs and if you leave it at that drag for too long it won’t be as smooth. It will vary the spool will spin fast hit a spot then spin slower. It’s not a huge deal until you’ve hooked the fish of a lifetime and it gets away cause your drag was jerky and not smooth.
Shoot! I used to love the Ocuma SST, but I gave up on that rod, kept breaking them. Ironically the last one broke landing a giant carp in the tail water of a low barrier dam on the Huron River upstream from Flatrock Mi.
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 wow! Thanks for the quick reply I did some steelhead fishing on my local river this year and have finally mastered it I caught 20+ probably this whole year!
I love using the bobber if it possible to use. I just got into bobber fishing for steelhead this year and did really well in northern california. maybe when I visit my cousins in chicago, I'll bring some of my gear. good video and cool gold fish you caught 😂
@@evlpnoy I can’t blame ya man not many things better than watching a float drain! We got a video on the bobber rig for the pier if u wanna check it out too for some extra help. Tight lines!
Is a 22 pound king salmon from Lake Michigan good. My dads friend took my family fishing and we all had designated rods and for my first salmon I got a 22 pounder so I was wondering if that was good or average.
Don't bother sharing what peir you fished from ! Fishing from a wheelchair l am limited as hell. Tell about what tackle you were using ! Will be moving on
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 yes seen that. 6lb line ? 30 lb line ? I would guess 8-- 12 llb. Water on both sides? Is one a channel the other open lake side ? Would a1oz weight work or has to be a 4 Oz weight ? Circle hook or straight shank hook. Size hook 10, 4, 2, 1/0, 6/0 to make a fishing video you have a long way to go. Sorry maybe this is your first Rodeo?
Tossing that small salmon back in from that distance showed no regard for sportsmanship whatsoever. It's called catch and release, not catch and heave.I was waiting for you to fall in jerk, but damn, just my luck, you were the lucky one. Stick your vids, I like things done right.
Just 8-10lb line. Don’t need much for cohos. The skein doesn’t float much but the current will pick it up and blow it around a little. If you use spawn bags tho u can add floats to help keep it off bottom
Caught an 18 1/2 incher about two weeks ago on a spinner. Had my SBS long sleeve on when I got it 👌🏼.
Hell ya lucky shirt!!
Chi town brown lol. Good video guys.
Gotta love em! lol thanks man
That carp is the fish of a lifetime for Europeans!!!
I like better to catch pikes, im in Europe
Just moved to SW Michigan from Oklahoma. Wanting to try some Pier Fishing in nearby St. Joe.
Have any tips?
Right now try shrimp under a bobber for steelhead 👍 we have some how to vids and tips in some of our other pier vids also
Thank you guys for sharing your video gave me a few spots and also help me find a charter... should do some type of raffle or drawing allow a fan to go on a fishing trip with you. Even if it was some public area or Pier I wouldn't be interested
Oh, CARP!
Thanks for making this video I really liked it
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼
Guy in background cracks me up ... He's got it all figured out lol
Sweet video man!!!! I got too start fishing Michigan . You guys clean house up there. Hopefully I can get up too St. Joes pretty soon!!!!
Thanks for watching!
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 where do I order your shirts at.
@@neilsnyder8906 its in the bio of the video buddy
@@neilsnyder8906 www.sbsoutdooraction.com !!
I checked it out!!!! I definitely going too get a couple shirt and stuff. I like them
Love this place going in July
Gotta love it man. Goodluck 🤙
I’ll be there the 4th of July weekend
@@JJDaBossOutdoors should be some fish around 👍
Another great video guys!!
Preciate it!!
Awesome fish!!...do you think spawn sac would work if I don't have any skein??
Yes they would!
Which part of Lake Michigan is this pier? What town/city?
I think it’s Saint Joseph!
Spring jacks are the best eating out there. Betting they made a delicious dinner
Sure did!
is that a fishing convention and why are there so many rods there
It's a heavly fished pier in Saint Joeph michigan. I've done good fishing for cats on that exact Pier.
Awesome catch guys lots of fish out there...
Fun day for sure!
Good to see people help out with nets
Lotta good folks out there
Are you using cured or fresh steelhead skein?
Cured👍
Oh this is Saint Joseph ❤️
I’m completely new to salmon fishing, so this might sound stupid but what is the bait you used on the end of the rig? Plan on heading to South Haven in the spring to try and catch some. Thanks for the vid, it was really helpful!
Skein aka salmon eggs in membrane
Is this common for all West Michigan piers to have Coho hanging around in Spring?
Yessir most of em do!
Nice cohos bro where is this harbor
Thanks!
what month was this
@@jb25729 April I believe
Are you fishing at the Manistee Piers
Were did you get the little red eggs
From fish we harvested then cured
This is cool! I got a blue Gill a perch and a largemouth bass on the same day in the morning
Nice!
I love them spring coho.
Best table fair in the Great Lakes
In the UP we use bobbers with worms like three feet down and slay em
used to use bobber worms off the waukegan pier in illinois when i lived just outside chicago....chow down

Would you catch them on minnows
Skein or bags
They are minnows (coho)
what pier is this
lake Michigan in chicago
I'm not sure if that was ur question
In my local fishing zone I call fish that size a skipper
That is correct, just lil skipper Cohos
what pier are you fishing at?
Did you guys tie any line to your pyramid sinker? Or just directly to your swivel? Thank you guys for so much informative content!
Directly to the Barrel swivel 👍 thanks for watching!
Sorry I missed you guys! They unsubed me!!! Great action and good eaters boys
Preciate it man! Definitely my favorite table fair
Hello, awesome video, I wanted to ask when is the salmon and steelhead season begin on the pier?
On and off all year. Cohos winter spring. Steelhead the same including fall
Does the fish catch depend on the water temperature?
@@stateoffishing4002 yessir all based on water temp/wind
do you where is a good place to catch em
All piers on the west side of the state
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 I haven’t been out much this year so I don’t even know if they are still in
@@bigworm45yeet58 they should be picking up soon
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 lmk when it does
I’ll try 87th slip or montrose
where were you
Beautiful day fishing,Rockin
the Crocks👊👏👍😎 🤔 think you aought to get you some of those neoprene socks wood keep your feet dry and warm out there.😉
Not a bad idea! These crocs got wool in em tho so they keep me purty warm
Where is this my friend?
Lake Michigan
People cannot tell you that. Once people find out where this place is, it will be over fished with too many people fishing. Millions of people watch UA-cam....
@@kevinkevinkevin1909 it literally says Pier fishing Lake Michigan.
@@kevinkevinkevin1909 alot of people already fish there lol
Good thing Lake Michigan is a small lake. If not couldn’t find this place
What did you use and how did you use it
Skein sitting on the bottom
Where can I purchase those rod holders.. would like some for when I go up north and try out some pier fishing.
I found em at a garage sale lol. U can order em offline tho at most places
Ok thanks.. had to ask 1st before I research and diy it myself.
@@0JohnH yup no worries Goodluck man!
@@0JohnH you can easily make em with PVC pipe
That’s why you should always store your reels with the drag loose for long periods of time, then tighten them properly when using them
Why do you store them with the drags loose?
@@DongWang-m4n because it takes pressure off of the drag discs and if you leave it at that drag for too long it won’t be as smooth. It will vary the spool will spin fast hit a spot then spin slower.

If I went to a Holland pier and casted spawn sacks on that same rig would that work?
Definitely!
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 wow! Thanks for the quick reply I did some steelhead fishing on my local river this year and have finally mastered it I caught 20+ probably this whole year!
What pier?
Wish there were fish in milwaukee
You guys got the browns!
Not from the shore
@@scottwegehaupt1945 Fish from shore in milwaukee at this spot ua-cam.com/video/plPcgqoPIKE/v-deo.html
is it possible to use a bobber out there?
Definitely!! A lot of folks use bobber rigs with shrimp, fish eggs or wax worms
I love using the bobber if it possible to use. I just got into bobber fishing for steelhead this year and did really well in northern california. maybe when I visit my cousins in chicago, I'll bring some of my gear. good video and cool gold fish you caught 😂

Good video friend , was just checking out your channel and i joined up
Awesome! Thanks for watching and subbing
Hello friend, what can I use as bait for fishing in this lake?
Try skein, spawn bags or shrimp! Spoons also work good
Is there any certain kind of bait that is the best there?
Skein or spawn bags normally
I was there 2 months ago and where you were at we had like 10 foot waves after hitting that breakwall pier
Ya it can get nasty out there
What part of Michigan are you?
East coast of lake
what location is this ?
Lake mi
Holland Michigan
Where is this pier at? I’m right on Lake Michigan myself
You can do this off every single pier on Lake Michigan. Just look for the right water temps
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 thanks update you soon with results going this weekend
Ok, obvious or dumb question. When they built the levy did they purposely make holes for people to set their roads in?
I believe so. Not 100% sure tbh but I imagine that’s what they’re for
I can't tell u how many times ive been there and only fished for smallies. Now I can fish for salmon too
Worth a shot for sure👍
They look so different before the go in the river I get them in fall at bear river dam and they look so different
Spawning does some crazy stuff to trout/salmon That’s for sure
Just caught a 20+ pound catfish there
Awesome!
Catch and release
Not this time, reckon you’d have to be crazy to toss back a spring coho
"Chicago Brown" ...... lolol.
hitting the water tomorrow ill let you know if I can snag a few cohos
I think the pier might be closed due to the recent drowning. If not tho good luck 🤙
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 people have been keeping too many cohos up in michigan?
what were those marks from??
On the carp? Lamprey’s my best guess
We’re that at what pier
Any pier has this opportunity
The one youtuber that doesn't release all the fish.
Too tasty to release🍴
First comment! 💪🏻🙌🏻
Preciate y’all!
Location pls
Michigan
What kind of poles are y’all using and how do they handle throwing out those led? Awesome vid by the way!
They’re kinda a slew of riversider rods and okuma SST’s. Al handle the weight just fine. Thanks for watching!

"what flex rod is that? Tip flex? Mid Flex?"
"Full Flex"

Is a 22 pound king salmon from Lake Michigan good. My dads friend took my family fishing and we all had designated rods and for my first salmon I got a 22 pounder so I was wondering if that was good or average.
That’s a good fish for sure! Anything over 20 is a nice fish 30+ is a monster
Where is that nice fishing in Michigan?
Thank ya and yessir in Michigan
Anyone can tell the address please
Look
Ni carp, can send my the details about your rod, thank you
8ft ultralight Okuma sst
That’s king salmon. Isn’t he ?
He is
What the hell is that on that carp? Some kind of fish disease? 😮
Not sure maybe lamprey mark?
Don't bother sharing what peir you fished from ! Fishing from a wheelchair l am limited as hell. Tell about what tackle you were using ! Will be moving on
I’m just running steelhead skein and a 4oz sinker. Bout as simple as it gets 👍
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 yes seen that. 6lb line ? 30 lb line ? I would guess 8-- 12 llb. Water on both sides?

@@exDFAcharliesmith9035 You really expect him to tell ya everything?
carp not brown trout
throwing that dink back with no respect for the fish at all 5:40 -.- shows your true colors
Ever reckoned cryin helps?
O that fish is just fine.
tim scarff if you truly believe that fish is in anyway hurt you're stupid
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 he's right. Not cool to throw them back hard. It's disrespectful and you are a degenerate stain.
Better than being fried , lol
Wind is a natural part of fishing....annoying music isn't.
👍
Must not be lake Michigan
?
Ya wouldn't be killer coho bite along lk Michigan lol

Ur funny
Lol
What lb line you'll using. Do the egg sacks float off the bottom?
Just 8-10lb line. Don’t need much for cohos. The skein doesn’t float much but the current will pick it up and blow it around a little. If you use spawn bags tho u can add floats to help keep it off bottom
@@sbsoutdooraction3055 What if I have a stronger line , like 25pounds line , Will it still work for salmon?
@@alexzelazowski4744 skipjack cohos usually ain’t too picky about line and such u outta be fine
