I hope this channel blows up. there aren't many if any KZreadrs from and fishing in Michigan that provide such quality, education, information and respect.

As a Canadian steelheader I remember going to Michigan the Maniatee and the Betsie rivers float fishing and not seeing any Americans doing it. They were fascinated with the way we fished using floats to present our baits to the fish. Within a few years more and more Americans were buying float rods and reels and enjoying this productive way of fishing.

Maggie's face when you lost the first fish.... reminded me of when we would miss pheasants over our pointer.... same expression of "Really?" So geeked to have another XXL vid to watch love ya guys!

What a nail biting , suspense keeping video! I loved how you jumped in the cold(I’m sure) water. Love the excitement on Meggs face when she hooked into one. I absolutely love your videos and tutorials! I love how your passion and addiction for these steelhead never ever changes through the years, no matter the geography the company or the weather! You are a class act! Love that Meggs fishes with you now in these videos! Keep them coming! I don’t know where this one was hiding for me to miss it for 6 months! But am excited to try this bottom bouncing technique!

I use the same bottom bouncing method! Instead of tying a knot in sinker line, I wrap the line around my split shot before I pinch it on. I get hung up on bottom, a little pull and your sinkers come sliding right off! Awesome video as always!!

That dedication!! That's what happened to me with a chinook a week ago. Tried to land it by myself and I was within a foot of landing it when it popped off. That heartbreak! But it definitely was fun watching you go through all that emotion and excitement. Awesome fishes landed by the both of you and what an informative video.

That's the exact same setup we use over here in the UK for worming for Atlantic salmon, just slowly tapping along the bottom, it looks very natural as well. tight lines and more videos please I love them🐟🐟🐟

Man what a great bud you guys work awesome together very cool

Those 10’6” X11s are awesome rods for surf fishing.

That's what I noticed about here versa Pacific Northwest it seems like we get a lot of those overhanging bushes that tangle up our lines and everything Pacific Northwest I get all those sharp boulders I'm sure they run into the overhanging branches too but it seems like we just get a lot of really Tangled up bushes on the River edge

Good luck! Random!

Hey Kyle, would braid be more effective for bottom bouncing with the increased sensitivity? Loved the vid your and Maggie's energy makes me want to get off the couch and fish!

@0JohnH

2 жыл бұрын

It does help running braid line but make sure you have a bumber line connected to the braid. That way you don't fill the hole/ river with braid.

Didn't try bottom bounce before, very useful video. Thanks bro, may I know the rod you were using for bottom bouncing pls?

What’s your setup with that bait caster? I’m wanting to get one for float fishing.

Very cool video. I mostly bottom bounce with fly rod, but want to try with spinning ou baitcasting rod what rod you prefer? (big rivers)

Great video, I enjoy a lot the video ,which company boga grip its that one I want to buy one thanks, keep doing more video with steelhead because you good with that .THANKS

Last time I was out I got so much hate for bottom bouncing. How long you think we still have left till the steelhead moves out because I'm thinking about a last trip. Also are you going to do some videos on river skamania?

@kylemcclelland88

Sounds like something a centerpin purist would say😅 now if you’re bottom bouncing a 8’ leader with a double fly rig you may be a flosser- but a single bead,fly, spawn bag or crawler on a 2-4’ leader is money! bottom bouncing can 100% be more effective that float fishing many times- especially in fast deep water where it’s hard to slow your float and get down to the fish. you can also pin point casts right near and under structure to get to areas you could never hit with a float. It’s also a great way to make long casts and cover lots of water if you’re shore fishing on a large river.

@@kylemcclelland88 I also had a float rod and would only bottom bounce after I was leaving the hole. My setup was exactly how it was in this video but was using spawn. I did no false sets and only set the hook when I felt that crunch. And like how you said, they're very aggressive but only when you get the right drift.

Great video and fight downstream. Epic battle for sure. Love the detailed rig. What kind of spinning rod are you using and bead?

@AdventureChasing

I believe we were using the Lamiglas X11 rod. We paint our own beads but Great Lakes Steelhead Co makes a lot of good colors!

I wish I have a wife who fish. You better put a ring on it

Love the mi chase! Do you ever use 6mm beads, always felt that they were too small for mi streams.

Hardcore

The rod your using with stren green line I thought were for center pin style reels or am I wrong? I’ve seen these style of rods being sold but did t know I could throw a spinning reel on it. What kind of rod is this?

Have you ever used a 3-way swivel for bottom bouncing? I’ve never bottom bounced but seems like using a 3way swivel would be just as effective

@bladewilliams5311

9 күн бұрын

It works, I’ve caught tons of fish bouncing with a 3 way.

Using a tooth pick as a bead peg?

Awesome video Kyle. Question on the bottom bouncing, are you letting any line out to extend the drift or just casting across, closing the bail and then letting it swing the hole? I was on the PM this past weekend and found myself trying the bottom bouncing as much as my pin float setup. I found myself letting line out doing the drift, kind of like swinging with a flyrod but not sure if this is the best way to bottom bounce and keep that constant/tight connection with the rig; Did not have any luck though; really was trying to get my son his first Steelie. Any info appreciated, thanks again for the vids and content.

I agree. The fish doesn't have to be "revived" either. Great video though otherwise.

@kylemcclelland88

2 жыл бұрын

The “clip” or boga grip is on a swivel so it’s swiveling as the fish turns- therefore, there is no excess pressure on the fishes teeth. The “clips” fit into a grove on the bottom jaw of the fish so it’s not in any harmful position near the gills. This is a great way for inexperienced anglers to hold fish for photos without harming them. It also gives the fish time to be revived if need be. When the water/air temperatures are in the 30’s/40’s and the fish is only out of the water for a second, you’re right, they probably don’t need to be revived. When the temps get into the 50’s however, they absolutely should be revived for a bit just to insure they’re healthy. If they’re released immediately and float up(especially in fast water) then they’re likely to get swept into structure that they won’t recover from.
