Yes, this is your best video to date! It took a ton of editing, but you nailed it! You captured the joy, excitement, and the thrills! And the crowd roars! Kudos to the Polar Bear for going the extra mile.

Yea man! Silvers hot and heavy! Gotta wake up early though when it’s dark and chilly to get ‘em! I’m stoked for you!😎

Enjoyed the video! When the Salmon are in, it is time to have fun with it! We caught so many Salmon this year, it was epic! The weather was amazing. Back to work now, so enjoy re-living the experience through your videos!

Good feedback! Im trying different styles of videos to see what the audience likes the most. This style is fully animated and way more fun for me! Thanks for letting me know. Timing is everything and you're right about it being an EPIC season! Work sure does get in the way of fishing but at least we have KZread when we can't make it out on the water😃

i was at swiftwater a few times last week! i tried to keep my eyes peeled for you lol :D

That was awesome u didn’t even know the polar bear was swimming across lol,lol. This going to be the first yr not making it to Kenai. I don’t even know if I’ll head to my secret spot in 2 weeks. Lol. Gotta deal with a lot of projects but I’ll pray for next season.

That guy just came out of nowhere! Hilarious having the fishing so good that people want to swim to the spot. It’s sad to hear you won’t be casting in the kenai but you know we’ll hold it down for ya. I know all about those projects needing attention, especially this time of year. I hate saying it but it’s already getting darker and colder and everything is staying wet…!

Keep the humor going, this is one of the best I've watched🎉

You got it! The water is rising and moving way fast now. That bead will slice through it like you want this time of year. Caught 5 Dolly Varden and 2 trout on that rig yesterday. The red hook draws them in too I think. I love it when people say they’re watching fishing shows at work… cracks me up! I know the feeling!

@alaskasmallcraftadventures if you're ever at Bird Creek or even less appealing than your location, Ship Creek, the chances are good 😆 I've never fished the Kenai or anything, really, South of Bird Creek. I tried in Homer over a two day period, in the lagoon but a seal ruined it the entire time🤷‍♀️ So I'll definitely be a viewer of your stuff, it's gorgeous out there! Tightlines fish heads🎣

Another stellar video!! Can you provide the product description for that fish scaler at 3:34? Or was it homemade? Thanks most awesomely!

@alaskasmallcraftadventures

11 ай бұрын

Thank you, this was a fun one. The scaler I use is a heavy duty wire brush. It has a full handle that wraps your hand. Any stiff wire brush does the trick and instantly removes fish slime, scales, sea lice and other undesirables. This brush has a composite body and last long than wood. Super tough and going on 5 seasons now. The wires are starting to rust out so I’m looking for a new one. Found this one at trustworthy hardware store in Soldotna.

@alaskasmallcraftadventures

The Kenai Chamber of Commerce puts on a Silver Salmon Derby Sept 12-17 kenaisilversalmonderby.com There should still be plenty of fish in the river right after that. Salmon roe, spinning lures and flossing beads all work to catch silvers. We will be fishing the River Center, Swiftwater and Rotary areas looking for salmon. Timing is everything. The fish fill up the river with the incoming tide and push up river through all of these areas. The early morning bite is usually the best. Were getting lots of rain and wind now and losing our daylight fast! Good luck out there on the water!

Awesome! I leave the guiding to the pros, we’re just not quite setup for it yet. But maybe soon! Thanks for checking though..

For the bead setup for the silvers how are you fishing it in the river? Are you still flipping and trying to either hook reds and silvers or are you fishing it different since silvers intentionally hit it.

@alaskasmallcraftadventures

Жыл бұрын

The bead is for the flossing technique. There’s no difference in the way I fish for silvers and reds. However, if you’re fishing early morning, then expect silvers and trout to attack and feed. I’ll be using salmon roe and casting spinners soon. We’ve already seen several silvers at Swiftwater so they’re coming in!

Be there in 2 Saturdays

It’s hit or miss on anything chrome coming through at this point. I went one day and caught nothing and then two days later got a limit. Always worth a try though. More silvers in there now than chrome sockeye.

Ive caught coho at Swiftwater, Kenai River Center and Rotary in the last two weeks and at a couple secret boat spots above that. No bait allowed yet so Ive been flossing.
