Love fishing Burt. Been going since I was a kid. Your in my spot! lol great advice great video great tips. been fishing for over 50 years and I still learned some things from you. Thanks for the lessons. GO BILLS!
That's a really nice reel! I use an islander steelheader on a 10'6" g.loomis medium rod, float fishing for salmon and steelhead. Decided to try out a snap swivel a couple winters ago, once and only once. The snap swivle literally snapped in half while fighting a big chrome steelhead and obviously lost the fish. Still sad about that one and I will never use those swivels again hahaha!
Love the pin... I'm in the N.W. not many use the pin up here.... I have a 13.6 St. Croix with a Okuma Raw II for my floating braid and Okuma Adventa for my mono set up.... Nothing like a pin for floating
Noah ty for the lesson really comes in handy going to put it to work hopefully catch something this March April or May PS Collin you look like the skinwalker up there waving at Noah..😄😄😄
word of advice from Ontario...... use your back when fighting a fish, and the less shots the better - 6.2 - load it up to 4.5 gram shots for the float to be more sensitive...... TIGHT LINES
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo you’re welcome, don’t be scared to put the rod tip high, that’s what the length is for… hope to see more videos in the future cheers 🎣
I have a g.loomis bobber rod with a heavy duty reel. (I don’t know what brand it is) I use a double surgeons knot to connect the leader to the main line, and drop shots as weights
Off topic but have you ever fished the canadian side of the niagara river like the whirlpool? I hear a lot of people saying the US side has better fishing but I’d like to hear your opinion if you have experience with both
I haven't fished the CAD side, but I always thought the US was better just because some of the CAD folks who watch the videos say we have way more access 👍👍 I'd imagine the action is the same since it's the same body of water, but not completely sure...
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo yea i think you are right when it comes to access, to get to devils hole on the canadian side it takes a 20 minute hike. I believe you guys have a staircase that leads directly to it if i’m not mistaken? I’ve also always wanted to try that metal platform you fish off by the power generation station.
Yea there's a staircase, easy going down but it's a different story going back up lolll, you should definitely give it a go on the US side one of the days🎣😎
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo Oh yea its a mission getting back up on our side too, and I was thinking of trying it out sometime… maybe my luck will be better over there? 😂🤷🏻♂️
Thanks man! Usually the longer the better, I stick to around 2ft. But with the longer leader you have to make sure to put split shot on the leader so you bait doesn't kick back up👍👍 it's also import to leave about 12in-14in of space between your bait and the split shot on the leader so the fish see you bait first instead of the split shot👍
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo when it comes to the tippet ring and snap swivel, do you opt for the tiniest you can find? Would using just using a tiny snap instead of a snap swivel be ok or is the swivel needed to prevent some line twist? When it comes to securing all your leaders to the foam roll, do you use pins or just using the hook point into the tippet ring or foam?
@@joebaggs78I would definitely use the snap swivel to prevent line twists, and the smaller the better! And for the foam rolls I just stick the hook point into the roll and it stays in perfectly fine👍
5:54; i'm on the west coast and never seen a 2 hook setup like that. why again are you doing that? do the fish hit the top hook or bottom hook or both? thx
Basically you have double the chances of catching a fish, if the fish doesn't like the top bait it might like the bottom one! It's a faster way to find out what the fish are eating that day👍
I use eagle claw split shots they come in #s how do I know which ones to use to even out my nine gram float. I don't know the weights of them and online is varied answers
I also just looked online and couldn't find an answer, so I have a couple suggestions. First would be to buy a cheap scale and weigh each size of shot. Second is you could take put all the split shot you think you need on the line and put the float in a glass of water, if it sinks take some off, and if it doesn't sink enough put some more on. Or Lastly you could buy a different type of shot, hope this helped!!👍😎
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo thanks man im going out today maybe I'll see you on the creek I still have yet to catch one I'm new this season but I actually got the split chats figured out just needed some math conversion.
Just above the bottom, when you hit the bottom with your bait it causes the split shot to be presented first and your line could bump into the fish which could spook it. I like trying to keep it 6in-12in above bottom 👍👍

Sounds like a nice setup you got there, if that happened to me I wouldn't use them again either lol

🤣 no problem Alberto!! Maybe I'll see you out there...
I never knew that about Flouro!!! Thank you for the tip. Gonna re-rig with mono. *doh!*

Great info. Thanks!
No problem!
Thanks for the info, great video like always.

What time did you hold class?… I missed out!… LOL. Same deal with me yesterday, 6 hours ,2 fish.
🤣🤣, hey two is better than nothing!!
that centrepin is badass!
Thanks👍👍
Thank's Noah, great tips. Nice fish !
Appreciate it Dan!!😎💯💪

@@OutsidersOutdoorCo yeah! I just gotta get better at reading the water and finding depth and I’m set
Nice job with this video👍👍

Man great idea switching out leaders made easy 👍 im having difficulty judging how long my leader should be. Any suggestions?

Thanks for watching👍
Did you tie the end leader to the hook withe the pink bead?
Yes

Good luck to ya, were bound to bump into each other one of these days, go catch on for me!!😎🎣💯💪
So, is the goal to tickle the bottom with your baits or to be suspended just above and if so how many inches ?
Just above the bottom, when you hit the bottom with your bait it causes the split shot to be presented first and your line could bump into the fish which could spook it. I like trying to keep it 6in-12in above bottom 👍👍
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo Gracias! Tight lines!
Have you tried a baitcaster setup
Yes! Collin actually just tried it out for the first time in our new video for next week!
How long is the shot line?
I don't use shot line for the creeks, only main line and leader👍
What's the name of that creek, please
Great lakes tributary 👍
What size is that reel?
3in
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo is it a 3.95? I just got a 4.24 and it looks just like it.
Oh yea my bad, 3.95

yes
Semi chrome!😂
