How To CATCH Columbia River SOCKEYE Salmon (BANK FISHING!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2020
- The Columbia River Sockeye Fishery is one of the best fisheries the Columbia sees during the early summer months. These sockeye are heading upriver to spawn and catching them can be a challenge. In this video Charles from Addicted Fishing is going to show you how to rig a full bank fishing setup to target and catch Columbia River Sockeye. Bank fishing for sockeye and doing it right is something debated all over the internet. A lot of people will tell you that a sockeye won't bite. That is simply not the case, sockeye will 100% bite and can absolutely be caught without snagging or flossing them. Tune into to this full video to see the setup in action!

Have you ever caught a sockeye salmon?!
Yes sirs!!!! Quite a few actually! Absolutely a BLAST! Bank or boat👍🏽
Yes sir trolling for them in Brewster wa
Skagit River and Baker lake!!
Not yet, but looking forward to trying.
I’ve only caught 1 before
I was thinking how you were going to cast that rig , I would have never thought of using a boat where I fish . I learned something today 😌
I’ve never bank fished for sockeye before definitely bucket list thing to do
Nice job Charles! Always glad to see you getting in on the action. I'm going to try for sockeye this year for the first time in the lower 48
Great info! Hoping the sockeye run is as solid as the projected run....fingers crossed. See you guys on the bank!!
Thanks for the tips guys! Definitely one for the calendar soon🎣
Well done video! I used to catch them years ago in SE Alaska. I used a small double corky setup with pink yarn, 1/0 octopus hook and pencil lead on my spin rod. Once I mastered that, I used a 9 wt flyrod with floating main line and sink tip with a shrimp fly I tied on my vise. Both techniques worked very well.
It's watching these videos that makes me wish I still lived in Washington...Then I watch the news or talk to friends and family that still do and thank God above I don't! I still go back to visit though and always fish when back.
Great videos as always! Keep it up.
Excellent video. I really enjoyed the tutorial for tying the rigs.
Thanks for the shout out about not littering those leader tags. Best tip was the small bead ahead of the spin glo to sort of Carolina rig away the lettuce.
Charles, thanks for refreshing my memory on how to tie the egg loop knot....it's been too long since I lived out there and I had forgotten how to do it. Jon
Just in time for our sockeye season up here in the upper Columbia 🔥
When you can tie this knot while wearing gloves...that’s impressive!
And make it look easy lol
Yeah this guy is the best
Great vid nice to see people catching sockeye without bottom bouncing, great option. 👍
Awesome vid thanks for the tips👍
Thats awesome i learn something new every day im a yakama native i aint ever hook n lined a blue back before
I caught one plunking yesterday. Buddy hooked a pig hatchery Chinook, made me cry letting it go.
Absolutely great teaching moment thank you. Keep up the good work.
I want more Charles in my addicted videos!!!!
Love the vids so much
Going for the first time tomorrow out by rocky reach so excited. Thanks for the info hoping to limit out
Looks like there should be a good sockeye Addicted Life coming out soon!
Excellent tutorial.
Love watching these videos, anyone know any good spots for sockeye never fished for them before only cohos and chinooks
Damn Charles making big moves
That’s awesome thx ugh just now seeing this three year old video but what a epic training tool thx again / addicts
one thing I would suggest is when tying the egg loop, start wrapping the opposite direction so the line isn't pressed against the eye gap. starting "left handed" the line never touches the gap
One of the easiest tutorials to follow that your channel has produced, good job. Do the steelies run as close to the bank as the Sockeye do?
Oden Phillips yes where we find one we usually find the other to right now the water is on the high side and cooler then normal these fish are running the banks till the water starts to lower and we will have to adjust a little in depth to get back on them.
Good one. Thanks!
Great video ! Would be cool to see tutorials about droppers and alternatives to lead for snaggy places, like the sand bags or using rocks ! I hate using railroad spikes ! But they work best for me at times.... tried using rocks but the mono kept breaking on me and didnt have braid or anything else on me to try. That would be amazing and much appreciated !!!
Also seen people pounding nails into cheap lead weights but never tried myself
Great stuff thank you
Nice video. Super clear instructions on what you're doing, which is refreshing. A lot of people go way too fast. Quick question: how tall are you? I only ask because you use "wingspan" to measure and finger tip to finger tip is your height.
Never caught a Sockeye, all the others yes and all in salt, going to try the Skagit this year, thanks for the video.
Yall do some weird stuff down south, im from alaska but movin down to spokane for college. I think my set up is gonna be close to perfect with these fish
Nice video. Are sockeye up here in Alaska seem to have lock jaw. Never heard of some one getting an Alaskan sockeye on bait. Only flosing.
Thanks for sharing very useful! I never tried 3 lines before definitely will try it next time.
Awesome! Thank you
Ditch the bell, keep your drag just tight enough to hold the line in place in the current and engage the clicker. When a fish hits, it will start taking drag and the the clicker let’s you know.
thanks for the detail
Very detailed 👍
Loved It!
Excellent video
Love it!!
Let's Go, Charles!
Back in the nineties we were bank fishing with bells and a guy came along and said he switched to a ribbon . The bells were triggering the sea lions .it was like a dinner bell going off!
That’s what a .22 is for.....🤷♂️
Thanx guys. :)
Lol Charles’s rookie feature
Thank you
Try this in Brewster wa
Sockeye salmon where I live we call them blue back it sticks that there illegal to catch rn
Almost the first video I seen from Land fishing
Hmm 🤔 in b c we can’t use any more than one hook, so we use a steelhead float with a triple swivel then about four ft of leader then a hook with some wool just to float the hook off the bottom as the fish is holding in the river the line cuts across his mouth and passes along until stopping at the hook in his mouth and bingo! 🥳. We call it dental flossing!!
Will this set work for fall run in the rogue river?
In Alaska we floss. Lol that being said I’ve caught knik river sockeye on tiny shrimp and tiny pink spin n glo. And they swallowed it deep. So they do bite but in kenai we just floss cause why not. Combat fishing requires flossing. And current is way to strong.
Without disclosing exact location can you give me an idea for where are good spots to target them below Bonneville (ie Sauvie)?
Any beach on the Columbia River with a ledge.
Can you explain why a ledge and where specifically to target on the ledge... Not asking for specific locations but a lot of people who are new don't know what structure to look for and where sockeye swim along the banks... Especially if they don't have a boat it's hard to know what the bottom is doing. Excellent tutorial BTW. This is exactly how I target sockeye from the bank and it is very effective. Good job Charles!
Keir Homestead this^^ how do we know if there’s a ledge? And are sockeye closer to the bank? Do I need to cast far as I can
E Lee depth finders can be key to finding these drop offs we have spent a lot of time cruising up and down this river so we have a good idea of where to be in the spots we fish but at one point we have scoped it out with a finder but the best way to figure out where the fish are is to have a couple rods with line counters and start staggering your lines at different depths using that line counter till you find fish.
Can you catch them above the dam?
Hell of a thing to call this fishing from the bank when your entire strategy depends on having someone with a kayak to run your line out.
What time of year are the Sockeye running?
So with your set up, can a person actually cast out? Or hire a kayaker Line Guide?
Have you guys ever seen salmon or steelhead.... And trout I guess! Go for bass lures? I have a bunch of funky A-frame spinners I have some with spin-n-glows on I have a bunch of weird stuff I just have always wanted to try and just see what they would catch.... I have a 12' v-bottom boat and I just thought it would be cool to bring it up to Washington State and troll some shit with just what I got and see what happens.
Where this place bro it so nice 👍
Did you say to keep tension on the line when he drops it from kayak or do you flip bail so it goes down and takes more line?
Don’t keep tension, let it freespool.
The thing about red salmon is they like swimming near the bank. They’re not like silver and king salmon. They like being up on the bank. That’s why fly fishing is best for them. I’ve spent countless hours catching them for sport/subsistence/ and commercial purposes in Alaska. If you just walk 4 feet out into the water and wait long enough I 100% guarantee a red salmon will smack into your ankles 😂😂 has happened to me many times 😂😂 obviously what you’re doing works and is great. I catch silvers and kings with a similar set up but I’m telling you I fully believe fly fishing is the best way to catch reds with a rod. Just my opinion. Great video tho!
ok lol. so with this setup if your bank fishing you neeed a guy in a boat?? great tutorial lol
THANK YOU! now the big ?... where (abouts) are you???
What about Sockeye from the bank in the Puget Sound? Same setup? Or different because it's not flowing like the Columbia.
Where you fishing them?
@@AddictedFishing Hoing to go in the Sound. Near the Ballard Locks, where Lake Washington dumps into the Sound. Either beach or kayak.
I usually fish for sockeye in the sound with a 8 inch 360 flasher and a small squid hoochie trolling 20-60 ft with a downrigger or lead but I haven’t fished for em for a while cause it’s almost never open for sockeye
@@mackwysocki9579 what about from the beach! I checked Area 10 and it didn't say there was a Sockeye restriction
Nope, nor have I caught kokanee which is something I want to correct soon. I have caught Pacific steelhead, with the first one of those being caught in the Sandy River in 1979, Chinook in the Solduc and Nooksack, Coho's in the Nooksack and Chum salmon in Whatcom creek in B'Ham, November of 1988.
It doesn't really seem like it would be very fun catching them this way. With that much over kill on the rod size and line weight and on top of that having that huge weight on there can you really feel much of a fight?
Is salmon open?
Can you fish for them on the Columbia right now I’m so confused with odfw website?
Contact your local fish and game
Why I dont fish any salmon even thought I love it hate all the open not open every other day it's stupid. Try to obey the rules they need better system
What depths do you normally target?
10-15 feet
Must be a different breed of Sockeye Alaska Sockeye don't feed when the return to the river to spawn.
I don’t have a kayak so not good for me :(
FYI dropping lines from a floating device is now illegal for salmon in the Columbia River.
Let’s go
Ive fished 3 Alaskan rivers for 3 seasons, including Kenia, with this method. Fishing both kings and reds. Caught many kings near the salt, not 1 red. Ill keep trying. A 4th river this week, the Klutina has big king and copper river sockeyes. The reds have blue backs, not green. Trapper scotty,Alaskan
klutina is too far inland for this to work on reds. THey generally clamp down and you'll never get one. That's the same reason you'll be pretty much skunked on the russian too if you fish this way. They don't bite/feed. You might get them where there's still salt water or if you're hitting a fresh school of fish just going up so downstream from soldotna, but even there, you'll have more success not using bait... The real issue is using baited hook is not allowed on most of kenai river. heheh.
if you're a resident, try dip netting either on kenai or in chitina. ...bring a life jacket and tie yourself off.
My whole thing is just wanting to know what depth to put the lure and weight
It varies from spot to spot, but normally 6-20 ft where were fishing
What kind of a reel did you use?
Okuma cold water ss model!🤙🎣
@@charlesstahley240 Thank you!!! Really appreciate it.
How'd you convert Charlie from a litter bug??
Must be nice we can’t fish sockeye in BC 😢
Can you cast this setup?
No it tangles
Could you use it with just two spin glows so it has less of a chance if tangling
Kaden Ritzman yes you can shorten it up and still cast a 2 spin glow setup it’s crucial to use 30# or even 40# just because it has a lot less memory and makes it less likely to tangle.
I always cast just one spin glows , can't use more than one hook where I fish . Never thought it would work for sockeye , just king salmon . Learned something
So I need a guy in a kayak? How do you cast a rig like this? I mean is that really bank fishing. Don’t get me wrong, love the video, but how do you get it done on your own?
We will put out another video to show you how.
Addicted Fishing sweet! Love the channel
I’m assuming this method isn’t meant for a angler going solo
You can do it solo
If I’m running them solo I set my clicker on my reel then adjust my drag that it takes some pressure to get line to come out but not to easy so it keeps tension but if you do get a belly or to much slack line you can reel it up to get rid of it.
What kind of water are you looking for for Sockey fishing?
Derick Jahnk any beach that has ledge especially we find most of them in the 4 to 15ft range but mainly try to stick 8 to 12 but it all depends on your beach they have different lanes even on the same beach a 100yds up a guy could be running out to 40ft and for you to get in that lane you might be at 20 or at 60ft.
Tried three times out of my canoe...struck out.
Move spots
Location is key
Thanks for your interest... I was moving (lol) in my canoe...on Baker Lake. The Columbia is a bit far right now or maybe I am not quite desperate enough to make a four hour drive.
Why don’t you guys use okuma surf rods to cast your lead out instead of using the kayak and a trolling rod?
Because you'd tangle like crazy with a 3 sng setup like that casting.
It’s hard to cast 3 glos
Honestly I think the biggest advantage for me is just the peace of mind that my line isn’t tangled and I know I’m fishing also exactly where I want to be.
Tangles aren’t that hard to not get. I use bead chains and snaps instead of the 3 ways. I’d guess the biggest reason they aren’t casting is it’s easier to keep the bait on the hook. Seen plenty of times people go to cast out and there’s 4 splashes. One from their spin glo setup and the other 3 are bait.
You guys ever need weights, hit me up!!
Thanks to the natives we have them. Unlike our state run fisheries.
I dont have this kind of opportunity here
What are you fishing for where your at?!
@@AddictedFishing I'm located in ontario canada waiting for our chinook run to start in 2 months. But bass opens staurday
"Bank fishing" where you need a yak
Well I wasn't aware that it's legal to have someone else take your bait/lure out into the river in Oregon. It isn't legal in Washington.
just when it was getting good, Boom closure cause the 1000 fish that go up the Snake might be coming through?. This fuckin State is a Joke
You all salmon fishermen, keep dreaming of Alaska fishing, I will continue to experience it daily. Truth hurts huh? Now enjoy your hatchery regulated fishing, and I will try to not tick off a big Kodiak brown bear fishing to close to his spot! Just another day fishing in Alaska!
This Romeo guy trying to compare our Alaskan fishing to the lower 48 is hilarious! Ask the addicted to fishing guys who came to yakutat AK, how it compares? And they got just a sample! They flew by jet from Seattle to yakutat, imagine “ really fishing wild Alaska by floatplane”! No roads no crowds, just big brown bears fishing with you? My real Alaska! You all down south keep dreaming Alaska fishing, I will live and see it daily! Chew on those facts!
You guys are trolling way too fast.
I didn't think it was legal to run your bait out on a boat??
Or can you take me for $$$?
Wtf?
Use a Drone
What is funny is you on Oregon, Washington, bc Canada talking about sockeye fishing when you haven’t anything close to our Alaskan fishery. Truth hurts huh???
Your a loser !! Truth hurts huh douche
I clicked on your video because is says BANK FISHING. Not "drag your rig out to the middle of the river by kayak". Waste of time.
Y’all stealing my beach that starts with an L and ends with wood 😅🥲
