I’ve only caught 1 before

I was thinking how you were going to cast that rig , I would have never thought of using a boat where I fish . I learned something today 😌

I’ve never bank fished for sockeye before definitely bucket list thing to do

It's watching these videos that makes me wish I still lived in Washington...Then I watch the news or talk to friends and family that still do and thank God above I don't! I still go back to visit though and always fish when back. Great videos as always! Keep it up.

When you can tie this knot while wearing gloves...that’s impressive!

Well done video! I used to catch them years ago in SE Alaska. I used a small double corky setup with pink yarn, 1/0 octopus hook and pencil lead on my spin rod. Once I mastered that, I used a 9 wt flyrod with floating main line and sink tip with a shrimp fly I tied on my vise. Both techniques worked very well.

Thanks for the tips guys! Definitely one for the calendar soon🎣

Nice job Charles! Always glad to see you getting in on the action. I'm going to try for sockeye this year for the first time in the lower 48

Great info! Hoping the sockeye run is as solid as the projected run....fingers crossed. See you guys on the bank!!

Charles, thanks for refreshing my memory on how to tie the egg loop knot....it's been too long since I lived out there and I had forgotten how to do it. Jon

I caught one plunking yesterday. Buddy hooked a pig hatchery Chinook, made me cry letting it go.

Excellent video. I really enjoyed the tutorial for tying the rigs.

Thanks for the shout out about not littering those leader tags. Best tip was the small bead ahead of the spin glo to sort of Carolina rig away the lettuce.

Great vid nice to see people catching sockeye without bottom bouncing, great option. 👍

Absolutely great teaching moment thank you. Keep up the good work.

Thats awesome i learn something new every day im a yakama native i aint ever hook n lined a blue back before

Awesome vid thanks for the tips👍

Just in time for our sockeye season up here in the upper Columbia 🔥

I want more Charles in my addicted videos!!!!

Going for the first time tomorrow out by rocky reach so excited. Thanks for the info hoping to limit out

Love the vids so much

That’s awesome thx ugh just now seeing this three year old video but what a epic training tool thx again / addicts

Great stuff thank you

Excellent tutorial.

Good one. Thanks!

Love watching these videos, anyone know any good spots for sockeye never fished for them before only cohos and chinooks

Loved It!

Looks like there should be a good sockeye Addicted Life coming out soon!

Never caught a Sockeye, all the others yes and all in salt, going to try the Skagit this year, thanks for the video.

Awesome! Thank you

thanks for the detail

Damn Charles making big moves

Love it!!

Very detailed 👍

Thanks for sharing very useful! I never tried 3 lines before definitely will try it next time.

Yall do some weird stuff down south, im from alaska but movin down to spokane for college. I think my set up is gonna be close to perfect with these fish

Great video ! Would be cool to see tutorials about droppers and alternatives to lead for snaggy places, like the sand bags or using rocks ! I hate using railroad spikes ! But they work best for me at times.... tried using rocks but the mono kept breaking on me and didnt have braid or anything else on me to try. That would be amazing and much appreciated !!!

Back in the nineties we were bank fishing with bells and a guy came along and said he switched to a ribbon . The bells were triggering the sea lions .it was like a dinner bell going off!

Lol Charles’s rookie feature

one thing I would suggest is when tying the egg loop, start wrapping the opposite direction so the line isn't pressed against the eye gap. starting "left handed" the line never touches the gap

Nice video. Are sockeye up here in Alaska seem to have lock jaw. Never heard of some one getting an Alaskan sockeye on bait. Only flosing.

One of the easiest tutorials to follow that your channel has produced, good job. Do the steelies run as close to the bank as the Sockeye do?

@charlesstahley240

4 жыл бұрын

Oden Phillips yes where we find one we usually find the other to right now the water is on the high side and cooler then normal these fish are running the banks till the water starts to lower and we will have to adjust a little in depth to get back on them.

Ditch the bell, keep your drag just tight enough to hold the line in place in the current and engage the clicker. When a fish hits, it will start taking drag and the the clicker let’s you know.

Hmm 🤔 in b c we can’t use any more than one hook, so we use a steelhead float with a triple swivel then about four ft of leader then a hook with some wool just to float the hook off the bottom as the fish is holding in the river the line cuts across his mouth and passes along until stopping at the hook in his mouth and bingo! 🥳. We call it dental flossing!!

Sockeye salmon where I live we call them blue back it sticks that there illegal to catch rn

Try this in Brewster wa

Almost the first video I seen from Land fishing

In Alaska we floss. Lol that being said I’ve caught knik river sockeye on tiny shrimp and tiny pink spin n glo. And they swallowed it deep. So they do bite but in kenai we just floss cause why not. Combat fishing requires flossing. And current is way to strong.

Will this set work for fall run in the rogue river?

Hell of a thing to call this fishing from the bank when your entire strategy depends on having someone with a kayak to run your line out.

What time of year are the Sockeye running?

ok lol. so with this setup if your bank fishing you neeed a guy in a boat?? great tutorial lol

THANK YOU! now the big ?... where (abouts) are you???

Did you say to keep tension on the line when he drops it from kayak or do you flip bail so it goes down and takes more line?

@AddictedFishing

Don’t keep tension, let it freespool.

Have you guys ever seen salmon or steelhead.... And trout I guess! Go for bass lures? I have a bunch of funky A-frame spinners I have some with spin-n-glows on I have a bunch of weird stuff I just have always wanted to try and just see what they would catch.... I have a 12' v-bottom boat and I just thought it would be cool to bring it up to Washington State and troll some shit with just what I got and see what happens.

The thing about red salmon is they like swimming near the bank. They’re not like silver and king salmon. They like being up on the bank. That’s why fly fishing is best for them. I’ve spent countless hours catching them for sport/subsistence/ and commercial purposes in Alaska. If you just walk 4 feet out into the water and wait long enough I 100% guarantee a red salmon will smack into your ankles 😂😂 has happened to me many times 😂😂 obviously what you’re doing works and is great. I catch silvers and kings with a similar set up but I’m telling you I fully believe fly fishing is the best way to catch reds with a rod. Just my opinion. Great video tho!

Without disclosing exact location can you give me an idea for where are good spots to target them below Bonneville (ie Sauvie)?

Can you explain why a ledge and where specifically to target on the ledge... Not asking for specific locations but a lot of people who are new don't know what structure to look for and where sockeye swim along the banks... Especially if they don't have a boat it's hard to know what the bottom is doing. Excellent tutorial BTW. This is exactly how I target sockeye from the bank and it is very effective.

E Lee depth finders can be key to finding these drop offs we have spent a lot of time cruising up and down this river so we have a good idea of where to be in the spots we fish but at one point we have scoped it out with a finder but the best way to figure out where the fish are is to have a couple rods with line counters and start staggering your lines at different depths using that line counter till you find fish.

It doesn't really seem like it would be very fun catching them this way. With that much over kill on the rod size and line weight and on top of that having that huge weight on there can you really feel much of a fight?

Let’s go

I don’t have a kayak so not good for me :(

Nope, nor have I caught kokanee which is something I want to correct soon. I have caught Pacific steelhead, with the first one of those being caught in the Sandy River in 1979, Chinook in the Solduc and Nooksack, Coho's in the Nooksack and Chum salmon in Whatcom creek in B'Ham, November of 1988.

Ive fished 3 Alaskan rivers for 3 seasons, including Kenia, with this method. Fishing both kings and reds. Caught many kings near the salt, not 1 red. Ill keep trying. A 4th river this week, the Klutina has big king and copper river sockeyes. The reds have blue backs, not green. Trapper scotty,Alaskan

@littlegoobie

11 ай бұрын

klutina is too far inland for this to work on reds. THey generally clamp down and you'll never get one. That's the same reason you'll be pretty much skunked on the russian too if you fish this way. They don't bite/feed. You might get them where there's still salt water or if you're hitting a fresh school of fish just going up so downstream from soldotna, but even there, you'll have more success not using bait... The real issue is using baited hook is not allowed on most of kenai river. heheh.

Derick Jahnk any beach that has ledge especially we find most of them in the 4 to 15ft range but mainly try to stick 8 to 12 but it all depends on your beach they have different lanes even on the same beach a 100yds up a guy could be running out to 40ft and for you to get in that lane you might be at 20 or at 60ft.

Thanks to the natives we have them. Unlike our state run fisheries.

Tangles aren’t that hard to not get. I use bead chains and snaps instead of the 3 ways. I’d guess the biggest reason they aren’t casting is it’s easier to keep the bait on the hook. Seen plenty of times people go to cast out and there’s 4 splashes. One from their spin glo setup and the other 3 are bait.
