PLUNKING FOR SPRING SALMON

This past weekend, the Columbia River was opened for a few days for spring run salmon. I was able to take off work Friday, and went out fishing for 3 days straight. We used tuna balls for bait, along with the spin n glo set up. Fishing was decent and there were multiple fish caught. We lost quite a few too, probably because barbless hooks. Anyway enjoy the footage.

Another good video Vu! Was that on the Washington side or Oregon? those fish are so good to eat I am jealous

[@fishingwithvu]

Thanks. This was in WA. They still open tomorrow, get out if you can. There’s a chance at one

@@fishingwithvu Wish I could I just bought my Oregon license Cant afford to get a washington state non res 1. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed the foraging you did on the peas gonna try em too. Do I need to worry about the color of the mesh I wrap the tuna balls with?

[@fishingwithvu]

No. Any color will do. Make sure it’s tuna in oil. Chop some fresh garlic and add scent and then wrap them up.

[@johnhobbs7697]

@@fishingwithvu wow thank you for all the tips I've never heard about the fresh garlic before but that's a good idea because garlic scentworx thank you very much again

Great Video. What size of weight , spin n glo you guy using? Thanks

[@fishingwithvu]

10oz lead, size 0 and 2 spin n glo.

Is a drum reel preferred over a spinning? What’s the advantage?

[@fishingwithvu]

There’s no line twist when casting which helps to eliminate tangles.
