What kind of jigs u use thk

I don’t think your leader should be breaking that easily regardless of how you set the hook. What knots are you using? Maybe try Palomar knots when you tie to swivels and other tackle. Also lubricate your knots well when tightening them. I used to have leaders and egg loop knots break all the time before doing these two things. I use 20lb Seagaur red label for my leaders. It’s very strong and flexible. Hope this helps! Great videos!

High sticken Mofo right there bud!😅 still a great watch dude.

If your net freezes that quickly what do you think happens to the fish’s gills while they’re sitting on you frozen boat ? Great way to damage or kill a fish you’re not going to eat.

Hey I’m down over by lake st Clair on the Clinton river , planning to get some steels on the river, do you have any idea on rigs for them ? I’ve got a new riversider AV40 with 10lb sunline nylon line on. Lmk on any tweaks and rigs you mind sharing with me. Would love to get on my first steelhead or potential coho .

should be waiting longer to set, a lot of the fish, esp bucks ive found nibble a few times before they inhale it, I usually wait until the bobber is absolutely gone

heading out tomorrow morning in wisc for some, if they're in..

I don’t get it if the swivel is on top of the bobber aren’t you only fishing 4 to 8 ft deep with your leader never seen this method and want to understand it before trying in on the Wisconsin side

Looks like a tick or spider on your sideburn

I say this and a lot of fishing videos.Everybody horses the fish in my dad taught me.If you're gentle and let him run and playn right and don't horse the fish and you're more unlikely going to land em

Oh wow. Try getting an atlantic on a barbless fly. This is child's play.

Why are you jerking the hook set so hard?

Yup the old jerk and spook

Explain to me how rain gets them biting? In the PNW rain doesn’t affect the bite. River level does. Rivers on the rise after a heavy rain shuts off the bite as fish will be on the move. Rivers on the drop after it stops raining for a day or two can make salmon hold down in pools turning on the bite.

Any fish in the betsie river yet? Heading up in few days

Skien bite is slow, give them time to take it in and expose the hook. Then tighten up, don't yank. You ain't bass fishing on Bill Dance Outdoors. If you have to set so hard switch to 20 pound mono, and lose the split shots that might weaken your line. Those first 4 "bites" could have been dragging bottom, or bumping the sides of fish with your bait below them. Had you pulled slow tight rather than swinging for the fences you might know.

When the float drops.........reeeeeel until ya feeeeeeel

Flossing at its finest

Let them eat it, around where I’m at, all the guys say give them a couple seconds, they will set the hook themselves, reel into them as if you have a circle hook and only yank after you actually feel the fish, lose almost no bobber downs doing this, even with jig fishing steelhead.

What state?

Gotta love the pm river hahahaha

When fishing kings preparation is key. Good line and a good knot. If you have those I don't think you'll break the line on the hook set unless you try. I always tried to have the smallest less visible line I could. But over the years have learned in situations where fish especially big fish are aggressive, They will bite with a tow rope on it. I think 60-70 lb braid and a Palomar knot is what you need. Not much can compare to the KING.

Maybe if you WERENT BASS FISHING! Say your not go back and look at how your hook sets are!!! Take a bit easier and pull the line back not jerk like bass

Man I envy you man I want to do that so bad man. Looks like a blast

Location?

Let them eat...

Where do you fish

Bro let them eat it and slowly set the hook your not trying to rip their jaw off

The fish is not eating they are lightly picking the eggs up to move them !!!

Check your knot on braid, if your using a fishermen knot, It will sinch to break. Use a Palomar knot, lose Less fish, I learned this the same Way,

Can you catch alewives this time of year? Looking to get some live ones for kings

Respectively, these aren’t large mouth bass, horsing them in definitely contributes to losing more fish.

I use braid and had issues until I started using a bumper. I got a chunk of 30lb mono on my rig to give it that little bit of stretch far less issues after doing that.

All these guys telling you not to set the hook so hard, lol. I set the look just like you did all the time with no issues. If the line breaks you are having some kind of other issue with leader strength or the knot. Some of the bites you swung on looked like the bottom, others clearly were bites. Looked like a fun day.

Lol... The sound of a whip cracking every time you set the hook 😅 Probably an issue when you refer to setting the hook as "swinging". It should be a pull, not a swing...but damn it looks like fun!

Slow down, let that bobber disappear. Easy on that hook set.

Does anyone know if float fishing spawsacks works?

Snag central fishing in 3-4 fow

Your hook sets need a little finesse …….let them take it first count to two then set the hook.

i went fishing for kings yesterday and only caught a rock bass

Great video bro! Been watching yall since last year when I got into steelhead fishing heavy. I picked up a bunch of tips and tricks from yall from your steelie and salmon vids. Question.. what’s your favorite slip bobber to use when float fishing Steelies from a pier?

Ive never put braid on my centerpin. Braid is meant for horsing fish in, mono helps gve a little stretch for playing fish. Im sure im not telling you anything you dont already know. Throw mono on and by next season youll be a pro with it.

Setting way too hard.

Braid on a centerpin?? No…. use maxima mono.

I like setting the hook even harder than you. You’re on the right track with braid. I like to use anywhere from 50-70lb test straight to my offering. Ditch the bobber and just pinch a few heavy split shots on. You’ll figure it out eventually.. there’s definitely a learning curve and takes some guys quite a bit longer to comprehend.

Suggestion: this is a guess that you are newer to float fishing judging by your hook sets and breaking off. If you don’t know how to use a pin do not use one. Just use a spinning rod or use a level 1. I learned this the hard way too, only use pin if you know what your doing

Toss just a glob of eggs and a split shot about Two ft from it.

Let 'em eat it... and go about 1/4 as hard on the hook set! Looks like you're trying to break their neck with your hookset....

Sharp and string hooks, stronger leader, you are using bait they will swallow the hook if let them.

Lol, Try setting it a little easier 😂
