Been watching ur vids all day, before and after I went fishing for reds myself.

I went out last light and rounded up another batch of sockeye. I’ll probably smoke this batch and show you how I like to do it 😎🔥 thanks for watching the show, it’s pretty cool hearing about everyone’s fishing adventures on here.

We caught 18 reds in 3 hours at Bing's Landing yesterday. Super easy.

Was there 20th thru 30th and fishing was off the hook! Limit went to 6 on 21st our first day of fishing, 2 buddies and I stacked 123 in the freezer with 7 days of fishing. Were catching 18 fish limits in under an hour. Weather was perfect also...sunny and mid upper 60s almost every day.

Just like last season, I knew you’d be here filling fish boxes!!! The run is still pushing in and the sun is still out! It’s so amazing what a weeks time can produce if you get after it, way to go!

We’re out here now. First time newbies 😅 got 3. 2 bit off the line and hook. 1 seemed to get the hook off somehow. Hook loop not strong enough??? We’re doing something wrong 😂

@alaskasmallcraftadventures

Жыл бұрын

Gotta keep practicing to fill up a stringer with fish! Awesome you’re getting the hookups! If you’re using egg loop knots make sure you wrap the hook shank 10-12 times to form a strong barrel. Instead of yarn, try putting a bead on your leader line and tie your hook on with a regular barrel knot for the win! Good luck 👍🏻

It’s a big river but really not too many folks on it. The shore line was completely packed off in most places though. Catching them from a kayak would be a riot. I sure thought that reel was going to give but it kept on working..🙃🎣
