- In this king salmon fishing video we jump right on the early fall salmon run 2021. As they say go big or go home so we drove up to northern Michigan to enjoy king salmon fishing Michigan rivers. In northern Michigan king salmon fishing Michigan rivers can be like bluegill fishing at times and although we were early in the 2021 king salmon run once we got in a good spot and daylight hit we were on the fish left and right. It turned out that our honey hole was super hot. After a while we drew a crowd of salmon fisherman and we invited them to share the hot honey hole with us and ended up having a great time river fishing for salmon with strangers we met on the river. Salmon run fishing draws a lot of people and it was a treat to share the river with a bunch of decent folk! It is no surprise king salmon fishing brings all the boys to the yard because king salmon fight like hell!

Precious memories for when you get much older. Thanks for filming!
Thanks for watching and sharing in the memories!
Just getting ready for the Salmon Run here on the North side of Lake Ontario! Thanks for what you have done, you got me excited about this September.
Nice! Kings are in several Michigan rivers already but I haven’t had a chance to go for them.
Are you on the river?
@@chrishall953 yep
@@ReelMichiganAnglers heading up Friday how is it
@@chrishall953 A little bit slow but the rain has been coming on and off so I expect it to pick up in the next couple days.
Real Nice fishing spot you had and Man that looks like a Blast I can't wait to see more videos.
Thanks for watching!
I shoulda been a cowboy, I shoulda learned to rope riiiiide.
Lol
Is that song lyrics?
I’m just trying to give you tips but don’t reel when the fish is running and have a stronger main line than your leader
I hate watching myself fight fish lol I'm all adrenaline sometimes lol I just bought some 30lb braid today :) I appreciate the advise! any recommendations on a hook that wont straighten out?
@@ReelMichiganAnglers 😂 we all do stupid shit when the fish is on. Try some flies with strong hooks or I use number 8 octopus hook we use them for steel head also
@@ReelMichiganAnglers when I use just a hook I like to run a bead just above it just so it’s not just a hook looks suspicious🤣
@@ReelMichiganAnglers pere Marquette river I’m guessing?
@@jalenmckenzie9994 I use octopus circle hooks for just about everything LOL. Last year the kings were breaking our 15 pound leaders so this year we went to 20 pound and now we’re just straightening out hooks like mad lol and I don’t keep my drag tight if anything I error on the side of loose always
Now that is a salmon fishing day
You need a level wind ABU Garcia reel, they have better drag and clutches to play big fish, 95% of fisherman use these in the washington and oregon rivers
Thanks I’ll look into that.
you need a bigger reel with better drag. Awesome place. Happy fishing!
I upgraded from a pfluger president to this shamino nasci. I would go bigger in bigger water for sure.
@@ReelMichiganAnglers I really like the Penn Battle III size 3000 for this kind of fishing. Great drag. Although, a pissed off King is gonna be a handful no matter what :) Big fan of 30# power pro here too. Great to see such fresh kings. We don't have as many in WI/Superior tribs as Lake Michigan has. Happy fishing, three weeks left for lake runners here.
@@WisconsinTroutFishing for great things about band but I believe it’s out of my price range. Oh we have left her a few zombie king is here but there’s still some co-action going on. I use 30lb power pro for kings also :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I do like that it's not as packed as they are at the dam sites. You still on the Manistee river?
I always look for spots off the beaten path as often as I can :) dams are great when you have them To yourself though :)
Try using a trailer hook under your spawn bag. About 3 or 4in under. They short bite it and you barely hook them and lose a lot of fish. With a trailer you'll get better hook ups. If your busting them off trash your flourocarbon and try mono its much stronger.
Owners hooks. Super sharp and I've never bent one except on snags
@@joshuavanderschaaf5145 how do you peg the bag above your hook?
Great fish! You deserved a fresh fish like that after all the trips you've put in over the years.
Thanks I agree lol
Awesome man! 🎣🎣🎣
Thank you sir!
What river are you fishing on usually go to the Manistee river below tippy damn
I’m going up to Manistee next month have any great spots you can suggest. I would like to do some fly fishing as well.
Getting ready for the west side of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, and curious if you know of any good spots to fish?
I’ve never fished for kings in Wisconsin. My experience fishing in Wisconsin is limited to late winter early spring brown trout fishing. look up Andrew Logan and ask him that question he is a guide in the area and an epic fisherman.
This has to be your first time fishing for salmon, tighten your drag!!
LOL I am new to salmon fishing but I always start with the drag light and tighten it as necessary I’ve lost too many fish with tight drag and braided line.
What size rod and reels do you use there for these Salmon?
In this video I was using a 9‘6“ lamiglass X11 And my buddy was using the 9 foot version of the same pole. Next time I go I am bringing the same set up as well as a 12 foot and 13 foot rod to see if it makes a difference to have the extra length or not for fighting fish. As far as real anything good size they can hold a lot of wine and has a good drag. If you’re looking for an affordable real I would go with a pfluger president or president XT size 3000 or 4000. In this video I’m using a Shimano nasty 2500 which has an extra large spool capacity for a 2500 size reel. I would most likely switch to a larger spool on a bigger river where I need more casting distance and where a fish is more likely to be able to run down river more.
Would you mind giving me a tip on where to go? This fall is my first time out and I don’t know where to try
Watch my video where when & how to catch salmon in the river and dm me on social media.
Great video Pal! Big fish and got bite, what size of Nasci is that and what part of the rig was failing when you were losing the fish?
It’s the 3000 I think. I had several fish straightening out hooks despite light drag. Some may have been foul hooked or bad hooksets.
It’s the 2500 actually
I was gonna say bro you need to go 3500 or 4000 in the reel. You were slaying. Main thing I saw was you were reeling against the drag. Let it run and fight the rod/drag and when it stops it’s run lift the rod, reel down, repeat. Then again, I’ve lost the last 4 kings I’ve hooked in the harbor jigging so what the hell do I know. 😂
@@jacobwhite281 thanks for the feedback. What if they never stop though? Lol I get too excited.
@@ReelMichiganAnglers I know me too. The ones I lost just kept going. Had one get wrapped on my transducer pole and rip it clean out of my track mount. Bent the damn metal out. Just the name of the game. I’m jealous they are in rivers already over there. Wisconsin tribs kinda suck compared to Michigan.
Definitely looks like your snagging
There is a very large swath of possible definitions to the word snagging. we are fishing a legal method and practicing catch and release. I report snaggers and have personally submitted evidence to close cases of poaching and snagger pieceof shit fisherman on the river. The DNR know who I am and often reach out to me to help with cases Where I might have some information on a fisherman in question. You’re barking up the wrong tree if you’re calling me a snagger lol I would encourage you to check out more of my content. You will find that I am not only a catch and release fisherman but a conservational advocate who spends his own free time cleaning up the banks of local rivers and helping to educate the younger generations of fisherman. also it will please your elitist attitude to know that I am bringing all my float fishing gear for salmon camp this year. Tight lines ;)
Hell I even reported myself to the dnr one time when I accidentally kept an illegally hooked fish and didn’t realize it until I posted the video footage to TH-cam and someone pointed out that the hook placement was off by about an inch…
I lost 4 in this exact hole yesterday and pulled one out the first cast this morning!! Great spot! Between 4 of us we lost about 14-15 fish in the last 2 days!
That’s a great hole for sure they tend to stack up in there.
Mind sharing the spot ?
@@juanalarcon567 pm me
Betsie river?
Looking for new places to fish in Lansing, particularly along the grand. Any suggestions?
Pm me on social media or email me @reelmichigananglers@gmail.com I’ll give you some spots to try.
@@ReelMichiganAnglers email sent 👍
Good 👍 ,,,,,looking for coho by my house ,,there either late or not coming
Late any day now ;)
Take care of your fishery. Might be a bit of lining going on there..
All fish caught and released weather foul hooked or legally hooked. We’re just out there having fun.
I'm heading out this weekend. ANywhere on the PM i should try out?
Pm me about the pm lol
@@ReelMichiganAnglers I sent a message to you on Instagram!
@Gertrude Jaxon that was me the other day surrounded by coho fish for hours all my favorite coho lures and skein and only hooked into one.
@Gertrude Jaxon That’s how it is with Sam and sometimes they go lockjaw for periods of time depending on the weather and other factors. I spent half the day today surrounded by jumping Coho and not one would connect with a Lure…
what size reel are u using
Also curious lol
This is the Shimano nasci 2500. Don’t let those numbers fool you though if comparing to a Pflueger it’s about halfway between their 3000 and 4000 size by my eyeball.
Another reference I have the diawa revros 2500 which is a little bit smaller in size and quite a bit smaller in-line capacity. That diawa is a nice little real but the line capacity is garbage I can see bare spool after a long distance cast after freshly respooling. After just a few weeks worth of break off‘s and re-tying I can cast it all the way until it stops at the knot. :(
@@ReelMichiganAnglers confused ?so both are basically same is what ur trying to say?
@@brandonmori-bergeron1312 no I’m saying that the Shimano nasci 2500 has a very large spool capacity compared to most 2500 size reels. In most cases I would recommend a 3000 size if you’re going by Pflueger sizes. Don’t quote me on this but I think Shimano and they Diawa run smaller in size and line capacity.
How far north are they yet I’m south sadly
Near ludington. The grand river hasn’t quite fired up yet but any day now.
definitely the PM
Just wondering what river is this
I prefer not to say on here so that the locals don’t hunt me down in my sleep LOL feel free to send me a message though my social media and email links are on my homepage. Thanks for watching!
@@ReelMichiganAnglers I sometimes think I give away too many of my spots in my videos. Oh well, I guess I can make new friends out on the water 😂
@@TheMichiganFisherman I try to find the balance between staying informative and not spot blasting.
@@TheMichiganFisherman yes friends and beautiful rivers...what more do we need.....I want to message you on the side
I have something to talk to you about..its not fishing either...I have brain injuries so it might take few tries thanks
What river?
Northern Michigan West Side trib.
@@ReelMichiganAnglers where?🤔
@@JaySmith-xs4ki pere Marquette river
Is this public or private land. ?
Is it hard to find a place to fish ?
From TN but would love to give this a try
Best time of year ?
Public The king salmon run is best from mid September to mid October after that they’re all pretty old and lethargic and gross lol
@@ReelMichiganAnglers is it hard to find fishing spots ? Can these egg sacs be bought at bait stores ?
@@davidpyles9572 the river can be very crowded during the salmon run but every hole will have fish in it so you will still have good odds.
spawn bags are available at most bait shops in michigan.
Looks like you fished with a nicer cast of characters than those on the Tippy dam video.
Yea lol
Great fishimg but Bro dont reel when drag is peeling all your doing is spinning the shit out of your line
I appreciate the positive feedback! That’s a bad habit of mine lol. Thank got for braided line lol
