Excellent video! It is interesting to me that most guys bobber fishing in the Great Lakes area seem to use very light gear. In the Pacific Northwest a standard chinook bobber fishing set up would typically be a 10 1/2’ heavy action rod rated for 20-40lb line. Generally this is a bait casting set up. 50-65lb braided line and 30lb mono or flourocarbon leaders.
When I hit the rivers I go heavy but nothing over 20 pound leader… uh the lakes when u are fishing water that those fish have a while to look at the bait u tend to want to have lighter gear
great video, what size line are you using from your swivel to your hook? Are using mono or Fluorocarbon leader material? what size hooks are you using and the specific brand. Thanks for your help.
@@obsessedanglingtv5723 I fish all year, I start out fishing Jan, Feb and March for perch on Lake Michigan. I got out 14 times for perch this year and caught limits every time. It was a phenomenal season catching 11-15 inchers. Then I transition to Coho fishing casting warm water discharges for Coho, then I head to Lake Erie for Walleye, then I target Smallmouth,then May June and July i troll for Salmon at the most southern tip of Lake Michigan. Then I start heading to Ludington for the kings. Hit the streams in September and October for skamania then back on Lake Michigan for perch in November. I fish all the time.

You don’t have any problems with the float stop sliding on braided line?
I’ve never had an issue with it it always stays in place
So do you fish the weights 3ft off the bottom or the skein 3ft off bottom? Just wondering how you determine exactly where to place your bobber stop.
I run the skein about 4 to 5 foot off the bottom.. you will see the marks on the graph and then u can set up ur right right above the marks
Greta video dude!!!!! Awesome content
Thanks brotha 😎
This looks awesome! I fish up in canada, mainly quebec. Where is this?
Thanks man! This is Michigan
If your bobber stop is set ~5ft from bottom do you have to reel it up past the rod eyes? How does that work when you’re in 25+ ft water
No issues, it slides right past the guides and onto the reel.
Yes you do but I recommend the string knot stoppers they work way better and go threw the guides better
Yessir!
What size hook
I run 1/0 hooks!
I always just assumed it was somewhere between 2-4 foot off bottom lol see how the vid goes. I’ve never done but will have to soon I’m sure it’s wild
You should definitely give it a try!!
@@obsessedanglingtv5723 I imagine it’s just like the river with bit more intuition involved
great video, what size line are you using from your swivel to your hook? Are using mono or Fluorocarbon leader material? what size hooks are you using and the specific brand. Thanks for your help.
I was running 14 pound FC sniper it is a fluorocarbon! And 1/0 Trokar drop shot hooks
Have you been out at all this season?

The next morning, Dad’s like “why do my legs hurt so much?”…replay the tape and count the deep knee bends LOL!
That is hilarious 🤣!!! I’m so ready for kings!!
New subscriber here. Do you guys have to fix the bobber stopper after each catch? Keep up the great contents!
I don’t like the rubber stoppers I actually found that the string tie stoppers work way better and you don’t have to rest them unlike the rubber ones!
What cure do use for your skein? I have a few different batches of skein cured with different cures, but I’m not catching many fish lol
I use like 3 different cures! But the pro cure wizard worked best this year
control ur king
We should fish sometime. What day did you fish
It was August 26th and are u local?
How deep is the water where your running the skein? Seems super deep. How deep is the skein? Never fished stagging kings like that. Looks like a blast
Some spots I was from 40 to 60 foot! And running the skein about 2 to 5 feet off the bottom!
