Been picking for 30 plus years, seems to keep growing my same spots.

Lots of people eat them. People call it a sand flea and get turned off by the aforementioned name and get grossed out. Its just a crustacean not a flea.

All I can say without giving away the secret spot that it’s located on a mountain not too far from Portland, Oregon / Vancouver, Washington.

Yes, I’m regretting the music edits.

@@pnwf good video though!

i mean nice video keep ur good work up

Thank you for the kind words and stopping by to check out my channel.

Bay on Waldport

I’m just a frozen caveman lawyer and not keen to your superior knowledge of the English language. 😅

Yes, maybe could have been quicker and efficient, but he did get the job done. Thanks for the comment and watching my amateur fishing channel though. 😊

Yes, getting free bait is the best way.

Yes moving slow is best, probably walked past many mushrooms. We can’t wait to hit the mountains again in another two months.

Just a couple thousand feet from the Dam

@@pnwf above or below lol

Smelt dipping happens once or twice a year around March on the banks of the Cowlitz River in Washington. You’ll have to visit wdfw.wa.gov to see approved smelt dipping dates. You’ll need a Washington fishing license to participate in 2025 seasons and further on.

@@pnwf Thanks a lot bro. See you there next year!

You’re very welcome

@jaredacosta2834 Thank you for checking out some videos and subbing.

Columbia River, Washington!

Yes she was

Fishing on the boat is much more fun. All you need is to know how to safely anchor within the fast current.

Most definitely!

Big thanks

@emtae3 North Jetty Cape Disappointment

Thank you, should be lots of Shad. It’s great for crab bait or pressure cooking.

Glad you enjoyed it

Wow, thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Many many thanks

I’ve been going to this beach for many years. It’s a beautiful beach! Cape Disappointment is my favorite place in Washington. There’s so much to offer. You have hiking, crabbing, razor clamming, salmon fishing, rock fishing and surf fishing. It’s still even beautiful when the king tide comes in. You get to watch the power of the waves hitting the rocks and cliffs. ❤

Seaside, Oregon in this video

Catch it again when it gets bigger.

Maybe we do baby steps because she scared to touch the live fish. How about a small net nearby to scoop it? 😄

No scent at all is required, just plain old oiled canned tuna wrapped into a ball using soft spawn netting and stretchy string.

Counting the days until I catch another Springer! Thanks for watching.

Works better for fish that have tough scales such as walleye.

@@pnwf Awesome. If you like it, then I love that you are happy. 🤝

This recording was the first time using the fish scaler. Yes it does make a total mess. You definitely have to use it outside and on fish with tough scales. Thanks for watching and commenting. I’ll be attempting to catch some Springer Salmon here in Washington in a few hours. Wish me luck!!!!

@@pnwf Best to your channel 🤝

Spring Salmon fishing is just around the corner. Thanks for visiting my channel. We will be doing more boat fishing this time around.

Oh thanks

We sometimes tie stretch string on them to the hook. It all depends if the bite is hot or not. Here’s a clip of me baiting shrimp to the hook. th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxlpMRywbo2VJgcZDknRLDJUkkZVyOSdpR?si=_YzhgSeFl1Xfzt_q

Yes it was, let’s hope this 2024 season is just as good or better!

Yes, muscles would be good too.

That sand in Newport, Oregon is so hard. It’s so much easier to dig near Seaside / Long Beach areas. Thanks for the tips and watching the video.

@@pnwf I noticed in Alaska they don't lay straight up, with slight angle on gun I broke less of them. Never tried hard digging like that and it don't look fun. Short gun works slick in soft sand and more often than not bring them up first pull. Never claimed in Oregon but gonna try it soon.

Keep it cool on ice, although they do deteriorate fast. Use them up fast or give them away to other fishermen when fishing limit is achieved.

Yes Chris, It totally is less expensive and more convenient to use tuna from a can then eggs or shrimp. You are also right about the spin n glows. These salmon like to bite on different patterns and colors on many occasions.

@@pnwf happy new year and tight lines brotha!

Please check out the video to it’s entirety. We provided lots of tips.

Yes, the mother of all mother loads!

Yes it was so fun!

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

So good

Me too!!

It’s snowing now, seasons over. It’s best to wait until next year.

@@pnwf thank you very much 🙏

Everyone hunting Matsutake had the same experiences in the beginning. Check out my other videos and you’ll learn to spot the bumps and ways to identify them.
