Sean Lutzi -Hey Sean!! Hopefully those lures help find you some fish soon! That last one was a fun fight for sure. Thanks for the support man, it’s much appreciated. Good luck out there. Let me know when you get one on. 🎣
Thanks for putting in the work to find the coho...I live 1/4 mile from the Clack at Cross Park and am itching to get my line wet, but Willamette Falls counts are low. Do you prefer that pink squid skirt over other colors? I know you probably havent done enough to say if one color combo is better than another. Tight lines brother!
Doug Sparks - hey Doug, it’s my pleasure. I’m out there like everyone else trying to put in the work to find some fish. The counts ARE low, it’s disappointing. The pink and green has been the most effective for me but I wouldn’t say it’s the best, it is just the best for the specific conditions that I use it in. I fish with every spinner that I make but wouldn’t feel confident enough in saying any combo is better than the other but that’s only because we never really know what the color has to do with a fish biting. We typically catch something on a color and become more confident in it, then start using it more than other colors, therefor catching more fish on that color, and then begins the “this color/combo is better” I could be wrong but I’ve caught fish first cast with crazy color combos... did it have anything to do with the color? I have no clue lol. Hope you find yourself some fish. Winter steelhead season is on its way and I’m super excited for it. Good luck 🎣
Dan M - hey Dan, It really depends on how much rain we actually get but by the sound of it I’d imagine that the river will be high and dirty. If we do get an inch of rain tonight then it’s probably going to be blown out. Though the mountain will be getting snow I think the freezing level is high enough that we will be getting a lot of water dumped into that river. I’m going to go take a look in the morning.
I have always float fished for salmon but i have recently got into spinners. I am going to get a new combo soon, Should I get a casting or spinning combo? I own both types but I don't know if one is more effective then the other .
Hey there Nick,... that was a pretty big sucker....I was fishing up in BC years ago and caught some big suckers as well along with some pretty big squaw fish... around 5 lbs.... never ate them ... but Ive heard in the southern states,.. they smoke them and heard they’re quite good ... I’m not banking on that ... because this story comes from someone that ate just about anything....lol ...
J Aaron haha ya I don’t think I would ever eat them. I’m sure they are bony and taste like crap anyhow. Which is unfortunate considering how easy they are to catch lol. I’ve seen some big ones caught around here. This one was a decent size though for sure
Caught a older Chinook native, a native coho and a 13in rainbow yesterday drifting from Dabney to Lewis and Clark. Are you covering as much water as you can?
Can you not keep wild chinook on the sandy? Also what color or type of your lures would you recommend? Caught my biggest chinook yesterday it was about 25 pounds also caught a wild coho. My dad hooked a giant chum salmon and it broke him off. About half an hour later I went downstream to fish with a lure and I snagged my dad's line. I handlined the chum in about 5 ft off the bank and the hook popped out. Still, fun to see a big chum I thought they were a small fish.
Fredthegamer SCHRARDER - no you cannot keep wild chinook on the Sandy.. that’s why I’m ALWAYS checking the regs before I fish somewhere. Some places you can, others you can’t. Oh man chum are cool looking. That’s an awesome story about hooking your dads line lol. I don’t really recommend one color over the other, too many conditions to consider. I like pinks, purples, blues, and chartreuse but I throw them all.
Great job, as well as some nice fish! Nice to see that they're biting somewhere lol. Are there any stores that carry those spinners by chance, or just the website? Good Luck and Tight Lines!
CamoGuy 64 - thanks man, I always feel lucky to get one on. No stores yet that carry them, they would just jack up the price anyhow. When the stock is up, same day pickup is usually an option, if not, they typically are received the day after they go in the mail. Good luck to you as well 🎣
James Bain - honestly I don’t really prefer one over the other. Trebles snag less but don’t always get a good clean hookset. Single hooks, in my opinion, get a better and cleaner hookset & snag less. For me it comes down to the type of water and what my chances of catching native fish are. If there are a lot of natives and unkeepable fish I use single hook mostly. .. cleaner hookset and easier to release
Mark Crawford - hopefully we have a good winter return this season. I am definitely looking forward to embracing the crap weather to search for some fish
Bro, I ALWAYS pick up my area before I leave a spot, on top of picking up any other fishing junk that isn’t mine along the way. I appreciate your respect for nature but get real man. I clipped off like an 1/8 of an inch of line… that was probably in my bag by the time I left
What spinners are those?
Franky Vera
www.anglingaddictspnw.com
They are AAFCO (Angling Addict Fishing Co) lures
Sweet you make them?
Franky Vera - every single one of them!
@@AnglingAddictsPNW no way that's cool
Dundee, Or. here. The absolute best, most imformative person and videos in these parts. Thanks so very much!
Hey nice lure, I got me one of those! Gotta find the fish tho, man that was a nice bigg'n!!! Love the videos keep them rolling Nick

Right on bud the tug is the drug my friend!!! Im always siked when i get the notification of a new vid from ya👊😀
Michael Elkins Thanks bro, you should send me your address so I can send you a lure or two to try next time you are fishing near the coast
@@AnglingAddictsPNW for sure bud can i message you on fb?
Michael Elkins indeed
You are the best Nick! Very enjoyable video
Blue River Thank You!! I appreciate it. Thanks for the feedback
Nice job Nick! Crazy colors for that river. Fish on!
I got a few of them this season twitching my spinners, does work.
Nice job Nick. I was fishing the same area today. Fish were there but no action.
Awesome job! I miss fishing on the West coast.
Thanks for the videos, hope to catch some salmon / steelhead soon

Hey doug people been killin coho right above the bridge 99 since sept 22nd
Way to lay into them man 🤙
We are supposed to get an inch of rain tonight, do you think it will still be fishable this weekend?
Dan M - hey Dan, It really depends on how much rain we actually get but by the sound of it I’d imagine that the river will be high and dirty.

Nice Fish Nick
Hey Nick, been a while since you dropped a video just checking to see if all I well.
I have always float fished for salmon but i have recently got into spinners. I am going to get a new combo soon, Should I get a casting or spinning combo? I own both types but I don't know if one is more effective then the other .
Coho was red hot on some rivers before the rain and then gone but it seems the bite is picking back up
Do you just run straight braid ??? Or you have a bumper to fluro
Nice job!
Steve Parr thank you Steve, always feels good to get some fish to bite
straight to the braid? No bumper floro?
you normally cast down river and reel in with a spinner?
Hey there Nick,... that was a pretty big sucker....I was fishing up in BC years ago and caught some big suckers as well along with some pretty big squaw fish... around 5 lbs.... never ate them ... but Ive heard in the southern states,.. they smoke them and heard they’re quite good ...

What is your rod, reel and line setup? I really want a bait caster set up like that for rivers.
spend 3 full days last week on sandy. salmon rolling. threw just about everything and not a single bite any of the days
Caught a older Chinook native, a native coho and a 13in rainbow yesterday drifting from Dabney to Lewis and Clark. Are you covering as much water as you can?
@@dontevenfr0nt yep i hit 5 different holes on different parts of the river
nice work !! what nippers are those you are using? Great videos
stickbow9 thank you, honestly I’m not sure which ones those were. I just grabbed a pair and through them in my bag lol

Does Cedar post their fish counts?
cliff bz I haven’t been there in quite a while but I think they do post numbers on a board at the hatchery
Is that the sandy

@@AnglingAddictsPNW I feel the same way about gettin one on. And thank you for the info, I'll definitely have to pick some up soon!
Do you prefer using single hooks rather than treble on spinners? Great video!
James Bain - honestly I don’t really prefer one over the other. Trebles snag less but don’t always get a good clean hookset. Single hooks, in my opinion, get a better and cleaner hookset & snag less.

Hey! What knots do you tie for your spinners?
Ryder fishing - usually just a simple fisherman’s knot
How high up are you
not high up at all in this vid
Look good with long hair bro
Wanting to head down from eastern Oregon for some Sandy river steelhead
Mark Crawford - hopefully we have a good winter return this season. I am definitely looking forward to embracing the crap weather to search for some fish
Amazing video loved it I subscribed to support show some love tight lines !
With Cool is the best for you
Cathy Hogenson - it really depends on water clarity and the conditions but I like anything pink, pink/purple, blues, chartreuse for coho.
Would love to go fishing with you sometime. Feel free to reach out!
*Where can I land my FIRST salmon or steelhead in Seaside/near Seaside? I just moved here as a broke college student. Thanks in advance!*
Check your regs but the Necanicum River flows right through seaside
Id like to film your videos that would be awesome
I've always thought how much easier it'd be if i had someone filming for me, especially when i'm out salmon and steelhead fishing
@@AnglingAddictsPNW that would be awesome
Bad camera angle!
Phil Lyell - how so?
Best part is @3:30 when you clip your line onto the ground with no regard for nature you suck big-time thumbs way down
