I gained a lot of respect when that dude netting your fish lost it and you were liek it’s okay man it’s cool. I really do be scared of getting in fights over it, I’ve been at tippy and seen it happen before. If you can’t accept mistakes don’t be fishing !!! Love your videos man
I bought a couple of these spinners last week after watching this video and I've been pounding the fish on it. I've hooked up over 15 times in 3 trips to the river with this spinner. Landed 5 of them. 2 of the fish I hooked up on were steelhead So it's not just for salmon. They hit it like a hammer , half the hits I get at first I think I hit a snag then the snag starts pulling lol. I've never had This much fun salmon fishing. This spinner bait I have is smoked. It's been bent up and I keep straightening it out. Paint on the blade is half gone, the lead weight has barely any paint left on it but it still get hits and still catches fish. Thank you so much for this tip it's worked out great for me. I bought 4 of these, 2 chartreuse 1pink and 1 green. Next payday I'm going to buy a couple more chartreuse. These are a must have for any salmon fisherman.
Great video Fray, thanks for being an advocate for biting salmon fishing... beads also work really well for kings and coho. had 15 hook ups in 1 day all kings last week on beads.
im a guy whose been swinging flies for 30 years on spey and switch rods; over Lake Michigan and Huron and superior....the last 10 years its been almost exclusive by choice. Here's my reality on it......Its GREAT when a strike on a swung or stripped streamer happens, but honestly, the vibrations that a good plug or spinner throw off make a huge difference vs. a fly. I started swinging flies to get "the attack" from steelhead and salmon......and I really like and prefer fly fishing, but im no elitist snob. In the end, in my experience...Kings on swung flies get really really tough to elicit strikes. It happens, yes it does: but nowhere near what happens if someone drops down into the hole you just left tossing spinners or big slow wobbling cranks.
Love the spinner videos, especially the Artic Spinner. I thought this lure wasn't around anymore till last year when you posted a video. I've used this lure as a kid 25+ years ago. Great for pike an walleye also.
Ive watched this about 100 times and just realized how familiar that spot looked.. And then realized that it was my group that showed up behind you guys in the middle of the video! Haha. That stretch was hot hot hot that day! Hopefully see you out there again.
I live in Ontario Canada. So many people that fish for the salmon say that they never bite in the river. I’ve been fishing 14 years in rivers with hardware like spinners spoons raps etc but I love the rush of having them hit and destroy the hardware! Keep up the great work man
What I've seen is certain stretches and rivers that have a lot of hardware guys, and other ones that have just traditionally been snagging water as long as I've been around to see them
I’m going to the Lake Ontario pier near me to try for a trout or salmon this weekend hopefully but had rain the last 2 days and water not the best today and tomorrow by me
Liked and loved. Going out all day tommorow. I got a coho and a steelhead ladt weekend....its been so hot and the river is so low I dont have much faith in tommorows productivity. Good video as always.
Great video...can you please send me the link to order this spiner ..i get steelhead in ohio ..you think this spinner will work on steelhead?? ..thank you
Nice video. I try skein every year but there is just to much pressure in my area. Pulaski N.Y. Straight up combat fishing on the whole river and forget about the holes that hold fish. I just end up flossing and don't feel too bad about it when next to guys ripping and lifting like crazy.
Hey does anyone know if the Manistee River is any good for salmon/steelhead mid October? I booked a trip with “BettsGuideServices” and I’m pumped ! I’d love to catch something I’ve never caught either
Hi Fish Fray, i can see you use piscifun reels a lot, and i want to ask you wich reel do you think is the best for salmon fishing in a river. The honor xt 3000 or the carbon x spinning reel. The important things for me is feel so i can feel i work the spinner like i want in the current, and quality, for many figths and a lot of fishing and casting in current a lot like you fish in your videos just for atlantic salmon in Denmark. It looks like the honor xt might be heavy but it also looks like it is strong enough to fish a lot. On the other hand the carbon x looks like it has the feel. The question is if the carbon x will be strong enough. best regards Niels.
It’s an arctic spinner, buy em online or if you’re in michigan alot of tackle stores have been stocking them, had some great action going after coho with them so far. Can’t wait to see the kings in my local streams go bonkers on em
driv3slow outdoorsman shop on baldwin in jenison michigan sells them, so does brenners bait and auto on west river drive in grand rapids. And so does the bait shop next to tippy dam.
Riverside Canoe in Honor has a few, and I think Backcast Fly Shop has them, too. They’re in quite a few shops on Michigan. The guy who makes them occasionally posts on the Michigan Sportsman forum. You can ask him where they are sold.
Hey Fish Fray, I've done a handful of Michigan trib steelie fishing and I run a light power moderate action rod but what would you recommend for kings? float spinning gear size 6 hooks thanks
i see alot of guys saying medium heavy but my buddy said he loses alot of fish on the heavier rods so he runs his light steelie rod lol. This will be my first season getting on some kings but i dont wanna use my steelie rod lol
When the State of Michigan phased out legal snagging I hired a guide and learned salmon bite on spinners. Catch and release. Tryed to find you this season no luck.
Fantastic share Fray! As a newbie I'm very thankful for your experiences👍 neat treat advice on spinners, what do ya think of 1/4 oz yellow rooster tail? Last year they chasing it here in Lansing area, I'm hoping for a repeat😁 Again, Awesome job Fray👍
I fish a few streams that have hook regs. I have found that I lose less tackle with single hooks on my Cleos and Kastmasters as well. It doesn't seem to matter when a fish grabs them either. I use Owners 1/0 or 2/0 siwash singles with a swivel for those fish that like to spin. They can't twist your line up. I'm going to pick up a couple of those arctic spinners tomorrow morning. I saw one of your other videos you were catching kings on them. I've been having a hard time catching salmon this year. I hooked up 3 times this morning and lost all 3. I need some skein really bad and some spawn to tie up for steelhead this winter. My stock is running low. Really low.
Sweet video, you should definitely try coming to NY and fishing the lower niagara river. Salmon run is just starting here and even seen a couple browns and steelies caught. Lake trout run is pretty crazy to when it starts. I've been trying to get a salmon on video for 3 weeks now, hopefully tomorrow I can have some luck! Keep up the good work!
Just curious, what is the lowest lb test for a leader you've used? I finally hooked up with one today and got snapped off within about 3 seconds, drag was fine, and it was a clean break. I'm thinking probably just bad luck, I was using 10lb fluro.
@@FishFrayI actually ended up figuring out what it was, the o-ring on my last guide tip fell out which was fraying the line every time i casted. Got a new tip for it and I'm good to go now, but ty for the info on that, pretty interesting and helpful anyways!
I’m sure you get this all the time but I’ll be in Northern MI the first weekend of November. If you’re down to go for some coho and steel and make a video lmk. I’ll drop this in your gram too.
Fray we all know who's flossing and who's fishing. Keep up the good work. People always hate on the centerpin guys. You'll never win. Just keep making your buddy's happy. You're a good man. It won't be long but us folks wants some steelhead coleville pin vids.
Tough being "net guy" sometimes. A few years ago I was salmon fishing a coast river. I had hooked 18 salmon that day and limited. A guy in the boat hadn't touched a fish all day. Last hour of light he hooked a 30plus lb hen after a little battle he brought her in quick I thought I could stab her up I. The net. I swiped and tangled his flasher weight fish all all broke off becuase of my net job.. I felt the hate instantly... Lol

Bobber and eggs in wa state is my favorite way for Kings and coho and twitching jigs for both Kings and coho
Can y post a link for the spinner
Waitin on that first fall steelhead vid! I know its comin
October 👍👍
Ah, yeah
epic. catching fish that big on spinners must be a blast!
When they hit it...THUMP THUMP!
If they hit it coming the opposite direction a bigger fidh feel like its trying to rip the rod right out yer hands.
They hit it like a hammer. Half the time you think you have a snag.

what size (mm) beads do you use for salmon?
@@johngill9071 8-12
I love hardware fishing, so simple. In other words I'm bad at float fishing still...great video as always :)
Both can be equally challenging!
I'd like to see you going after the kings with big flashy streamers. If they bight spinners I think they'll bite big obnoxious streamer flies too.
Unfortunately the more time I spend doing stuff like that, the less videos I can make because bites would be so rare

Nothing like a good hardware hit, thanks!
To be honest the past years I’ve been fishing the rivers up north in Michigan I’ve seen a lot more people fishing spinners and lures every year.
What I've seen is certain stretches and rivers that have a lot of hardware guys, and other ones that have just traditionally been snagging water as long as I've been around to see them
Fish Fray I’ve realized the same most of the time the stretches that have always been with snaggers and liners will stay mostly that
awesome video man , great tips , keep the videos comin
Thanks man!
Your vids just keep getting better! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Where do you get the chartreuse artic spinner I can’t find it anywhere info would be appreciated

What kind of spinner you guys using?I would like to try spinner for salmon river fishing
Do you change the hooks on your Arctic Spinner?
I just ordered some of the chartreuse artic spinners and I hope to get some good use out of them. I love the videos.
Whre can one get the spinner you’re using? Looked for Arctic spinners on the web could not ding anything close to what you’re using?

As usual, great stuff Fray! 👍
Hey fray. Do you use a swivel with your spinner, or do you tie your line straight to the spinner?

Hi .. I like your videos .. could you tell me the name of your fishing rod please ?I would like to have one of 7” thanks
Awesome clip ! What hooksize were u using with the float ? Hv u ever used other colors of the Arctic Spinner ?
Love the spinner videos man was up north in the up and smashed a few kings on spinners,always a blast
Nice! so much fun
Do your eggs reabsorb the fluid after curing or do you just drain them before fishing ?
My eggs reabsorb all fluid when I use the amount of cure that I showed in the video. If I use too much, there will be a little excess fluid
Who makes that spinner and where can we buy it?
Do you prefer the single or treble hook for the Arctic spinners?
I use the treble hooks that come with them
I like the way you do the skein !!! I never done it before , I will do the same way as you did it !!!
It was a very nice hunt and video congratulations👍👍
You’re great 👍
What brand is your spinner and where can i buy it?

Just ordered some from their website to be shipped to Oregon. Seen so many Chinook in our river that won't bite. Gonna give that spinner a try.
Good luck!

Got a spinner. Got a nice hen 2nd cast. Had a big male swipe it 3rd cast
Perfect!
Amazing video! Probally the best youtuber who does bobber downs the best.
Thanks, I try my best!
I’ve pulled a lot of fish from under those bushes. Nice job fray
Where can we buy the same Arctic spinner you used?
Fray I'm curious if you change out the treble hook for a single hook with a swivel?
I've had pretty good luck with the stock trebles on these, never got around to changing them out although I'd like to try

Once you cured overnight are you done with the refrigerator or must you keep cold?
Gotta keep them refrigerated still
is that a 5/16 spinner bait, would love to try that next week on the P.M
5/16 or 1/4 can be good
Which river was this at in Michigan??
Where the river at?
Where to get them artic spinners Fray?
Always hit the mouth of the river at the end of the steelhead season, always catch a huge one waiting for the smelt to come.
Heck yeah Fray , WTG on the Artic Spinner !!!!!!! Very nice video !!!!!
Was this at a campground by chance?

Would Great Lakes Steelhead would go after that spinner?
So cool fly fishing only where i live . You guy allowed to bag any ?
Yup we can keep em, they arent native tp the great lakes
Where at do you fish
What kind of fishing line are you using. If you don’t mind ...
40 lb cabela's braid and 15 lb blood run leader on the spinning setup, 23lb blood run mainline and same leader on centerpin
Just curious, what is the lowest lb test for a leader you've used? I finally hooked up with one today and got snapped off within about 3 seconds, drag was fine, and it was a clean break. I'm thinking probably just bad luck, I was using 10lb fluro.
I've landed kings on 6lb while steelheading, lowest I would run while targeting them would be 12lb

many guys run fenwick hmx, cant speak from personal experience sorry
Great video bro. I fish in Vancouver Island BC Canada.
Fun video! Where can I order that spinner? Thanks!
Where did you get the spinner?
Hey sweet video fray!!! What weight spinner do you like to use?? Keep up the great vids
1/4 or 5/8 ounce
Hey bro absolutely love your vids! What’s the cutoff point for a fish being too dark? Do you only keep the hens?
as long as the flesh is firm its useful as smoked fish. In general I only keep hens because one provides plenty of meat and the eggs have use as well

Nice fish!! I'm hoping to get up there next week and catch my first salmon. Would they be any good to eat at this point?
If you have a smoker than many will be edible, if not I'd focus on targeting coho salmon
Awesome fish you caught bro!! Maybe sometime we will get up there! Tip up and bobber down!
I’m sure you get this all the time but I’ll be in Northern MI the first weekend of November. If you’re down to go for some coho and steel and make a video lmk. I’ll drop this in your gram too.
