who want's to fish with 20# of flashers? Feel the bite, it's a rush. I always back bounce roe in the river. Feel the bite get the rush.

I often get tangles when I'm dropping the line unless I go really slow. Any tips would be appreciated.

In Florida, the experienced fishermen go great lengths to prevent lura /bait from spinning (“helicoptering”) on the ground that it doesn’t look natural to the fish. Why do you want it to spin? Do you guide?

Ha ha. I think you’re weathered cutting board must be you’re key to success!!

im up here in the puget sound on my 45 foot sailboat and have been trying to learn to fish and i have to say..... so far.... i hate it. thats probably because i cant catch anything. Ive never even gotten a hit. At this point id be happy if a fish just came by and stole my bait. My intent is to catch salmon. And im not interested in sport fishing.... im fishing for food. Do you know how embarassing it is to own a nice big sailboat like mine and be buying all your fish and salmon from Albertsons. ive been mooching with herring like youve shown but im guessing im not fishing the right areas. Can you give some tips as to what and where to go or what to look for? shallow water? sides of the channels and the sound? center of the sound? I do have a depth indication on my boat that shows accurate depth down to 325 feet deep. Help me become less of a loserrrrrrr lol

when i win the lotto, i`ll come over and try that :)

I dropped you a like and sub.

Part of gear is rod selection

Excellent concise instructions. Been a while since mooching and am planning on trying tomorrow at a known mooching spot, just for fun instead of trolling. Good refresher video. Thanks,

Should you be anchored while mooching? Or drifting with the tide or wind? Thanks

you can't compare mooching with trolling. trolling with all it's flashers and weights takes the sport out of landing smaller salmon, in fact often you won't even know you have caught a small salmon trolling. Mooching leaves no doubt that you have a fish on!

Nice stuff

Great job !!! I am a Charter Capt in Crescent city Ca in the summer for Halibut /Salmon /Bottom fish and in the winter I am a River Guide on the Smith River for Salmon and Steelhead would you be interested in a fishing trip exchange ok again Great job on Video I do the same thing with my motor I let the lines drop to where they are straight up and down then I put motor in gear to a 45 degree angle then back to straight up and down yep a lot of bites while dropping down Thanks Capt Jim

Captain Keith does know what he is doing, hired him last year for a USMC friend trip and he was fantastic. This year I have my own boat and hope to use what he taught us last year.

Thank you - useful video! Is it possibly to use this method with spinning gear (not casting)?

Light tackle mooching is our specialty! This is a fun, active, hands-on fishing technique compared to trolling, which is passive. On our charter boat, you will actively work the bait at different depths. This type of fishing is intended for those who like to cast, hold their own rod and hook, and feel the fish bite.
