Eric, I am really enjoying your videos. My PB steelhead is 0. Never caught one. But I'm in the middle of moving to the UP near Escanaba, and I want to learn. Fishing is different in MN, where I'm moving from. The Great Lakes are going to be an adventure! I really appreciate how you show exactly what you are doing! It will give me a little more confidence for my first trip out!

Great video Eric! My personal best steelie is a 16.6 pound buck swinging a stone fly on my 10' 7wt Orvis. I will be moving to the racine kenosha area in a month and all I do is fish and hunt. My wife also just bought me a brand new Tracker Super guide V16. Just finished building it. I pick it up from Bass pro in Gurnee IL in 2 week's I'm pumped. I'll see you out there buddy. Thanks for all the tips. Wisconsin trout and salmon fishing tactics are a little different then Michigan. You've definitely helped. Thanks again and tight lines.🤙
Nice video thanks for sharing. Spinners been working on the Lakers as well. I was throwing a slender chatterbait blade 2 weeks back got the same result! Heck I've thought I've fished a tube everyway imaginable gotta try it under a bobber now!
Are those fish suspended in the current or sticking to some structure? Im familiar with float fishing further upstream in the spring but don’t know much about staged fish this time of year. Nice vid as usual
Eric awesome vid, appreciate the advice and info how can I book you for a guided trip though I’d love to learn more in depth on the big pond steelhead fishery my man, awesome video though!
You said it was pretty cold out and I noticed your using braided line. Do you ever have issues freezing up? Or will you switch to Mano? Or do you keep with braid and use a line conditioner?
Are they good eating? I'm probably going to go for the southern Milwaukee trib and then probably a couple of Racine Rivers ever eat the steelhead that come out of there? smoking or baking?
Releasing 10lbs and up is a great idea. And you can catch a fresh silver fish anytime of the run. Now is pretty much the best time to get out for them.
Your sushi idea isn't half bad...I've been out fishing and run out of bait/spawn sacks and have had to improvise. You'd be surprised what you can catch a fish on when you forget or run out of bait...candy, marshmallows, part of a PB&J sandwich.
Good day Eric, awesome fishing trip and what a beauties to land, thumbs up, tight lines and greetings from New Zealand Trout anglers,, Tony.Check out our Trout fishing in Down Under when you have time,
@@wibigfishcom Yes Eric, 30 or 40 pounders,and also there are countless rivers and lake in New Zealand with exceptional Trout fishing in both Island too.We fish a lots of nuknow rivers and lakes out of nowhere with wild Trout in an untamed lands, millions of hectares of land and one never sees another cars for hundreds of miles.If you ever find your way to Down Under send us a note and we invite you for a trip and no charge for guiding, you just pay your share of the expenses.Best regards and tight lines,, Tony.

Best of luck thanks for the comment
Thabk you for all the great videos on fishing Eric. Hope to see you on the lake this year!
Great video and glad to see the different techniques. I fish Erie for steel and it’s the best fresh water fishing for sure
Someday I’ll make it to Erie to trib fish

I do appreciate the way you treat the fish on the release. Classy . Boat does look like a land mine went off somewhere near the steering wheel.
Thanks and yes I have issues cleaning shit

Thanks best of luck with your new boat. 16 lb steelhead is a tank especially on a fly
I visited Cabela's in Green Bay A couple weeks ago. Seen your picture. And fish. Low key jelly. Nice Brown.
Thanks bro
Great Video Eric, My PB steelhead was 14 LB on spinner in Manitowoc river.
Really digging your content, PB steelhead 18lbs fishing spawn under a float! Keep doing your thang!!
Thanks I appreciate the compliment brother
You're living my dream. What a day. Great job on every one of them. My PB is only a 15lb, but in the river. Hails from Ontario!
Thanks bro and tight lines
Fantastic video. I need to do this kind of fishin. Thank you
Thanks yes it’s a blast and the steelhead are great table fair in the fall
That was some funny stuff. You are the man
Can't believe you were the only one out there! Nice day A?
Down here in Central Illinois fishing Illinois river Pike at night but someday I want to try that stuff up north. Those fish look like a blast.
Yea it’s a ton of fun
Eric your the best in Milwaukee!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👌👌😀😀😀
Thanks dude
Just INSANE!!! 🎣
Sometimes when I'm eating sushi rolls like that I wonder if the herring roe would work in spawn sacs. The colour is great!
Great job!
Looks like too much fun 😮
Oh yes it is….
You have to use Mr twisters.
I freak my buddies out using them and catching salmon and trout
Almost that time again! On a mission to get trout eggs!
Sweet video! No salt no steel tho.
nice fish keep slayin bud
Nice video thanks for sharing. Spinners been working on the Lakers as well. I was throwing a slender chatterbait blade 2 weeks back got the same result! Heck I've thought I've fished a tube everyway imaginable gotta try it under a bobber now!
Also you can tie on a small amount of tinsel on your jig hook then put the tube on. Add a waxie or two, twitch pause twitch pause 6 lbs fluro carbon
@@wibigfishcom Thanks going to try the tubes this week down in the South Basin. Love the video's and insight!
Are those fish suspended in the current or sticking to some structure? Im familiar with float fishing further upstream in the spring but don’t know much about staged fish this time of year. Nice vid as usual
Yes almost all the ones I’m catching are 4-8 feet down
Eric awesome vid, appreciate the advice and info how can I book you for a guided trip though I’d love to learn more in depth on the big pond steelhead fishery my man, awesome video though!
Thanks call or text my cell phone number is 4147790479 thanks
Pb steelhead is 22lbs out of Port Washington 2 years ago
Brownie eggs are the absolute best for steelhead.
You said it was pretty cold out and I noticed your using braided line. Do you ever have issues freezing up? Or will you switch to Mano? Or do you keep with braid and use a line conditioner?
Yes definitely braid sucks when it’s below 30 degrees and I stick with mono
Are they good eating? I'm probably going to go for the southern Milwaukee trib and then probably a couple of Racine Rivers ever eat the steelhead that come out of there? smoking or baking?
Yea they are great now because they just migrate in from the lake and the meat quality is still great
@@wibigfishcom Even the 8 to 10 Pounders? I plan to release everything above 10 lb but are they still good at late December?
Go catch some walleye or perch to eat. Steelhead dont even taste that good. Let em go.
Releasing 10lbs and up is a great idea. And you can catch a fresh silver fish anytime of the run. Now is pretty much the best time to get out for them.
@@adamsmith3996 some people like trout and salmon better🤷🏻♂️
Great video 👍
Thanks

What kinda of spinners you r using?
Blu Fox vibrax
What type line and pound test do you use for steelhead? Love your video's!
15 braid suffix and 12 fluro carbon leader
What is your casting setup ?
7’ medium action spinning rod with 15 lb suffix braid with 12 -14 fluro carbon leader
What brand/size spinning reel are u using??
#3 Blu Fox Spinner
The amount of clutter and chaos in the boat might have been yours and Perric's downfall in 39 hours. Crazy awesome video though 🔨
What do mean I just cleaned my boat… you should see it when it’s dirty!😂

Thanks wow yea sounds so amazing
are they at the facility yet
No rivers are low so they are stacked in the lower harbor and river
Alrighty thanks
Everyone knows trout love avocado.
Do you think they prefer hot or mild?
The trout would most definitely not enjoy avocado
Lmao..you need to hire a cameraman
