Fishing is not just about catching fish. It is about carrying on a family tradition. My father taught me at age 6 how to catch fish. That obsession grew to include Salmon, Steelhead, Kokanee, Halibut, Ling Cod, Rock Fish, Tuna and more.
From catching Trout in France in the 60's, to Salmon & Arctic Grayling in Alaska during the 70's, & 80's, to Montana Browns and Florida's Snook & Hammerhead Sharks, I may help you become a better fisherman with tips, tricks and useful advice. Maybe even the occasional word of wisdom. While I do not consider myself a "fishing expert", I do rely on a vast frame of reference I am more than willing to share with you.

Green River Catching Bonanza | A Blast From The Past
Two good friends of mine floated down the Green River and put the Smack Down on the fish this day. We floated jigs tipped with cured shrimp in several colors.
Steve, Trent and I must have caught at least 40 fish this cold Winter day. I hope you enjoy this video even though it was from 2011, it is still exciting to watch.

Fast & Furious Coho Salmon Fishing Action

When the fat lady sings, the Cowlitz River Coho Salmon run is over. Fortunately for me, I had my ear plugs in when she was bellowing out the last round of total run numbers. For the week prior to December 2, 2024 the returning Coho numbers were 1021 Adults and 52 Coho Jacks. For the week of December 9, 2024 the returning Coho numbers were 466 Coho Adults and only 20 Coho Jacks. Then, for the we...
Fishing For Coho Salmon
มุมมอง 3.6Kวันที่ผ่านมา
On this outing I managed to sustain a bad injury to my left hand while doing something totally dumb. The egg bite was slow but one Coho Salmon did get his revenge by tearing a deep gash in my left palm. Not to be out-done by that ravenous Salmon, I bonked him hard and placed him in the que for the smoker. If you want to see how I cure my eggs please go to the following links below. th-cam.com/v...

Bobber Doggin' Coho Salmon On The Cowlitz River

The Cowlitz River did not disappoint on this outing. As I reflected on last weeks fishing trip I had to make some tough choices. Do I move on to a Lake with Stocked Coho, a small stream that gets fish, coho salmon and chinook transferred or give the Cowlitz River one more try. Well I wasn't giving up so easily and since I lost two fish last week, I retied my leaders to improve their effectivene...
Bobber Doggin' The Cowlitz River For Monster Fish
มุมมอง 65Kหลายเดือนก่อน
When it rains it pours! I fished the Cowlitz River at the Barrier Dam once again in a crazy downpour drifting my signature cured eggs using the Bobber Doggin' method. Bobber Doggin' is a great way to cover lots of water by keeping your bait in the strike zone regardless of depth or river flow. It works great for eggs, hard bead, soft beads and just a plain corky by keeping your bait at or near ...

Using my signature cured egg recipe doesn't always create results. When it does, the bite can be spectacular. I bobber dogged my cured salmon eggs at the Barrier Dam on the Cowlitz River where the 2024 Coho Salmon run is just getting started.

Dang your wife let you go fishing on Christmas now that's living the dream lmao
Nice job Gene! 👊🏻
@@ryananey7626 Thank you.
Great video I just found your channel by chance. Fun to watch, I worked at Norpac for 25 years and loved to swim and fish on the Cowlitz R. I had many friends who loved fishing the rivers around Longview. One time maybe 20 years ago I watched a guy catch a 7 foot sturgeon out of lake Sacajawea.
@@getwetter22 welcome aboard. 😆 thanks for watching.
😊@@Northwestfishingfanatics
Nice work. I’m jealous for sure!!! I miss fishing so bad rn. Used to fish 6 days a week. Owned my own tackle company and everything. Now I have fished since August. 😭😭😭

Merry Christmas! Love the content keep up the good work 🙌🙌
@@jacobhansen9823 for sure
I know that spot, the river is completely different through there now. Used to be a sweet steelhead run just below you guys.
I bet it is. A lot changes in 13 years.
Wow. You guy's kicked some major butt that day. I want to say thank you for all the awesome video's you have put out. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
@@dean3471 Thanks so much. Merry Christmas 🎅
My new favorite watch! I love float fishing going down to try system in 2025, hope to see you. Thanks for vids and tight lines.🎣🎣
@@JoseGonzalez-nt3ws good luck
The good old days before communism took over and they took our fish away from us.
Definitely the good ole' days.
Awesome…!!!!!
@@rogermezenen959 it was. Thank you.
Keep it up y'all 👍❤️🧎👍❤️🧎👍❤️🧎
I really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Always great seeing each new video you upload keep it up Gene. Your epic sturgeon battle is by far my favorite. River should start piling up with them soon i put 138 on the bank in 2 months last year great times. Hope one day to run into you and fish together and trade tricks...😊
@@jasonbeatty9413 thanks. Nice job.
Kanasket-Palmer area was my favorite place in the Green. Lots of beautiful steelies.
@@edwardenglish1519 thanks for watching.
That's the day that two coho were using my legs for current breaks - if I had a net they could've been mine!!
that's right. what a day.
Damn Geno!!! That was such a fantastic day, if my fading memory serves, it got up to a balmy 28 degrees or something like that. Thanks for posting this up, such a great day!! Sure miss ol' Trent, we really had some epic trips.
@@Ericsson_Construction That was an amazing day for sure. Not too many go like that.
I live 8 miles from the Green River. We had a great chum run this year 2024, a lot of coho too 🎣
@@BC-ue3ku surprisingly enough that was the last time I fished the Green.
Yessir it was 👍❤️🧎
Good times! I live on the green in Auburn and I fish the chum and pink mostly. I need to put more time on the river for sure. I would love to get a Chrome steelhead there.
You really should get to know the river more. I've caught over 40 summer steelhead in the last month alone. They are still in there
@@kjohns236 keep at it. Thanks for watching.
@@SalmonSlayer253 any tips on bait spinners floats?
@kjohns236 soft beads and float jigs is what i caught them all on. Like many rivers, the upper green is better for Steelhead fishing
What a great video of the past. Catching fish and making memories!
@@StevenG1955 yes it was amazing. Thanks.
Nice. At least you didn't break your hand or a finger when you fell. Did you get a first Aid kit in your boat yet!!!!!
I thought about how lucky I am and how easy it could have been to break something more than my rod. not yet. 🤔
I was fishing on the other side and hit a snag, I thought, and when it pulled lose it was a fish that looked the size of a sheet of plywood...
@@edwardenglish1519 that's always exciting
Comment left strictly for your benefit 🤠👍
On the North Umpqua this year (2024) we only received about 3200 Coho all season. And none were clipped fish.
@@stevenbarlow1945 I don't know anything about that system..Is there a hatchery?
I was fishing blue creek today and didnt have any luck. I guess you dont need luck when you got all the wisdom. Great content. Tight lines
@@seahawksFishing Thanks. Steelhead should be starting to show around Blue Creek.
@Northwestfishingfanatics besides eggs what do you think your go to set up for steelhead is. I've been fishing that river for awhile and can't seem to get one. Any help would be awesome. Tight lines!!!
@seahawksFishing I don't do well with Steelhead either. But... when I fished more for Steelies I did well with marabou jigs under a clear drift float. My buddy does well with divers and coon shrimp. Guys do well drifting corkies around the corner dowriver from the ramp..
@@Northwestfishingfanatics thanks for the help man. I'm gonna try that on monday!
Merry Christmas Gene! Breaking that rod sucks! I hope it’s covered under warranty!
Thanks for watching! I'll just fix it myself.
Those days are the best. Had a day on the trinity river in Northern California like this, count was low, didn't expect much, landed 2 nice steelhead in a matter of 30 minutes. Great video!
@@brybridgee thanks.. It was a pleasant surprise to see fish there at all after last week's numbers. Thanks for watching.
Merry Christmas Thanks for sharing with us I enjoy waiting for your video to come out makes my Saturday afternoon.
@@rcman75 Merry Christmas and thanks. I really appreciate it.
Finally you catch a fish on your video 😂😂
@@pastmasters9591 haha that NEVER HAPPENS. 🤣
Honestly I absolutely love your channel!! I was just poking a little fun
Seriously lol
@@pastmasters9591 😄 no problem. I laugh at myself all the time.
If you think great river fishermen catch fish every single time they go out when they go out at least once a week... you're crazy lol!
There's been a lot of sturgeon in the system.
You should be fishing for sturgeon. In that hole, look up a sturgeon, rig cast it up in there, see what happens.
Not worth it.
@@coreycorey2220 I doubt I'd never land it. Would be heck of a fightt
Great content... keep em coming 👍👍👍
Appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
Good job love your videos
Awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nice fish Gene! Love watching your videos. Does Okuma cover the broken rod??
@@StevenG1955 Probably not. I keep a variety of tips and eyes. Their easy to fix.
I think Bob's is good at replacing the whole tip section on Okuma rods. I know my son has done it a few times.@@Northwestfishingfanatics
@justlooking1958 I just glue on a new tip. Good enough for me. 😆
Subs are growing Gene! Keep it up,, great content!

Thought you were going to say bake @350 for 90 minuets.😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 So can you freeze the eggs when this process is done or will that ruin the texture? Great video keep'em coming ! LOL never mind I answered my own question buy reading the comments a little further down. Not the sharpest tool in the shed but I try to be the most useful😬

I will NEVER buy another product with "Keith Archers" name on it. He is 1 of the most arrogant & over rated fools. I have came across in the fishing industry!
3 times u could of got a fish....
enjoyed the video!
@@garyhoppe8853 Awesome. Thanks for watching.
I fisher a lot on the Cowlitz, but I haven’t really drifted with eggs. I always wanted to though. Cool little video.
You should try it sometime! and thanks for watching
I'm glad you are still able to use bait here on the coast they cut us off to selitive gear only for the early winter steelhead witch I think is crap but at least we get a season been closed the past few years
@@trevorclark7995 I should head out that way.
If ProCure adds Bloody Gene to the scent line, make sure you get a cut! 😜
haha
I always carry some medical super glue with me just for the stupid things I seem to do. Its saved more then one trip to glue cuts closed. It works really well and is the same stuff that doctors use. You can buy a tube of medical wound glue at most pharmacies.
thanks. I should do that. thanks for watching.
First aid kit in the boat on your next Amazon purchase.. 🤗
Never hurts to be prepared.
AWESOME 🎉🎉🎉
Nice! But you really need to keep a good first Aid kit in the boat at all time's .
