Awesome outing thanks for sharing! I'm glad it warmed up for you and the fish started biting! "They don't want to hit when the camera is on" - SO TRUE!!! haha. Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac
The big trib has been money this season. Glad you got out there before the rains hit. Most tribs are blown out with the snowmelt combined with the heavy rains the past few days. Back into the 40s and 50s we go next weekend.
If you ever want to end a slump, just head to the big river. Lots of big fish on this trip, a little lethargic but big fish. Nice to redeem yourself after a couple of Dirty Burt slow days. Nice to get them on both spinning and pinning.
Hey Bill: Another fine video! As usual! Chunky chromers!! I also would like a 5" reel for faster line retrieve yet, I still love my Okumas with ceramic bearings! Someday I will get an Islander. Regards, Timothy.
Great video as always! As you know I'm months behind, but I filmed a "redemption video" on the same day! Except my redemption-fishing was back in mountains, got a walleye limit and some big trout. The Saturday beforehand I was actually skunked fishing the same creek your fishing in this video in the same area, I guess I just don't understand that creek.
Think I might have fished across from you on Friday at Burt, up at the dam. What a slow day! Earlier in the week was great. Think those colder nights finally effected the water temps and shut the bite down a bit. Only got that one brownie up there.
The big creek breaks the slump good stuff Bill it's blown out now but some of the other tribs should fish much better now that they have some water in them Good luck next time out
I stoped fishing my local creek by me and went from one fish in 8hrs and over the course of a week to catching 6 to 10 most days at Burt definitely opened my eyes to the poor state of the creek I learned at. The 5 inch reel i got was the kingpin kinetic way nicer for my big unit hands i have, not near as bad at blocking my own casts, and like you said, more line retrieve.
Great video and great day! Aside from that long skinny one you caught a lot of nice thick fish. May I ask what brand and size hook you use with the bags?
Love the content as always Bill! I’m hitting the buffalo creek tomorrow. I know you live out that way, any idea how the Buffalo is looking right now with all this rain?! 👀
thanks man 👍👍 i havnt seen it but cant imagine it being good running over 1000cfs waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/04214500/#parameterCode=00060&period=P7D&showMedian=true
Awesome videos. My dad is looking to get into center pin fishing. I'm going to buy him a center pin reel for Christmas. What make and model was your reel if you don't mind me asking?
thanks man ✌️i use an okuma sheffield $205 its ok but i would recommend maybe a raven matrix / thats what mike uses or a kingpin kinetic for around 305
Ive had absolutely horrible luck. Nothing first two trips, didnt even see anyone even hook up. Black friday i went to a spot i knew id get SOMETHING from but it was beyond crowded. Basically a bust and my damm car broke dowm.

its been a good year on the big creek ✌️
Good job hitting the big creek before the big blow out. Praying it becomes fishable for next weekend
thanks man ✌️still over 3500cfs but anythings possible
Thanks for another great video
Thanks for watching! ✌️
Another great day on the water Bill. You killed it again. Liked the Canadian hero comment! Hoping to get out soon myself. Have a great holiday.
thanks man , good luck and happy holidays ✌️
Looks like a great day. your videos are amazing and very informational, nice to meet you in your recent trips.
was nice meeting you ✌️thanks
Great job man. I agree no sense getting out there freezing your ass off. Seems like they hit better when the water warms a bit anyway.
@@gfoster173 thanks man ✌i never go real early when its cold

Looks like a great start to another hot streak! That water rarely disappoints.
thanks man ✌️very good runs in the big creek this year 👍

thanks man ✌️i might upgrade to a cheaper kingpin maybe
@@BillMikesAnglingAdventuresislander is a work horse of a reel I would snag one of those personally definitely worth it .
👍👍
@@Floatdroppin: I almost got one brand new on e-bay auction. Thing is someone sniped me in the last 3 seconds! So it goes. Regards, Timothy. 😞

Bill you love those 🇨🇦 hero Drifts 😎
✌️haha 😜
Nice one bill and thanks for clarifying 👍🏽
No worries ✌️ thanks
i was overdue for a good day after a 3 trip slump

@@fishsnagger569 that was me - my fingers never felt so cold - almost didnt want to catch a fish but went 5 landed for 10 hookups
Merry Christmas you and family. No skunking in 2024
thanks man ✌️ Merry Christmas to you and yours also
The big creek breaks the slump good stuff Bill it's blown out now but some of the other tribs should fish much better now that they have some water in them Good luck next time out
thanks man ✌️ i havnt even fished the smaller tribs yet this season - going to have to for a while now
Nice smack down Bill ! Also like call out of the scum bags 👍… Go Bills…. Long road ahead 😮
thanks man ✌️ GO BILLS

thats good 👍 i was thinking of trying the kinetic and upgrading to ceramics as the kinetic comes with lower grade bearings
@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures I still have stock on mine and never had issue with start up most the time
Bill if you keep catching them at this rate you'll be out of eggs sacs by next week lolll, caught lots of biggies too!
haha 😜 thanks man i got half the freezer filled with salmon eggs✌️😁
Great video and great day! Aside from that long skinny one you caught a lot of nice thick fish. May I ask what brand and size hook you use with the bags?
thanks man 👍👍 i was using size 6 owner cutting point hooks

Looked like an epic day. it was nice meeting you on Friday.
it was epic for me 👍 good meeting you ✌️
Great video bro, what lines do yu use here.
thanks man ✌️i had 8lb trilene with 6lb fluorocarbon leader on the spinning and 10lb raven line with 6 fluoro leader on the pin
Any reason why their first fin is clipped? I’ve caught a few that have been clipped this year
no not sure - i heard NY dosnt fin clip
We don't have enough fish to kill em. Salmon eggs are the best if you cure them correctly
👍👍
Ive had absolutely horrible luck. Nothing first two trips, didnt even see anyone even hook up. Black friday i went to a spot i knew id get SOMETHING from but it was beyond crowded. Basically a bust and my damm car broke dowm.
wow thats some real bad luck
I'm on a 2 month losing streak. The worst ever. Kerp pounding them on my lowly behalf.
lucks got to change sooner or later 😁
