Green River Coho Salmon Fishing!! (My Secret Technique)
On this week's episode of Chasing Chrome, I head to green river here in washington state to go coho salmon fishing! In this video I explain the best way that I have found to target these coho salmon in the River. During this absolutely epic time of the year we get the amazing opportunity to go fishing for and to target coho salmon here in washington state as they make their way from the pacific ocean into the various local rivers and streams to spawn. In this video, I go over my basic setup that I use to catch coho salmon here in washington state on the green river, show you how to fish it, and also end up catching a couple nice ones (my secret technique)! I hope you guys enjoy this green river coho salmon fishing video! Be sure to sit back, relax, and don't forget to subscribe for more videos like this one!

@steveperdueshowtofishingti2172 Год назад

Hey bro,,, GLAD TO SEE a drift fisherman again. lol, I have been showing guys in my videos how to use this drift technique while flossing stop yanking and detect the bite by mending on a slider weight and up the odds of both. Funniest thing is how many guys say fish wont eat eggs,, if its drifted. Been drifting for 30 years.. before long leaders came along. Can I ask why not a slider weigh? you can detect the bite before they feel the weight and let go, it will go direct to the tip of your rod especially if your mending your line. Very good video bro.

@everettanderson9493 Год назад

I was literally typing "how do you keep your eggs so dry?" and you answered my question. People talk about burning your eggs with too much cure though... how do you gauge when it's too much? Thanks Brian. Another 🔥 video brother. Good work!

@BrianMonticello 2 года назад

Thanks bro! And yeah I’ve heard of the whole “burning” them thing but tbh I just dump a ton of the cure on them, and they always get hit lol it doesn’t seem like the fish care. I mean I just put enough to cover every inch of the eggs pretty generously, and then after they’re fully cured I put a little extra 🤙🏻 I’ll show you sometime 😉

@twistedjigco.548 2 года назад

Use regular fire cure first for a more firm egg, let them cure 2 days and they will soak up all the juice! Then put them outside on some cookie drying racks so they can drip and dry. Roll them around in borax/boraxOfire mix after they are dried a bit and keep drying till you like the firmness. Usually bout 4-12 hours or longer. Then jar them with borax in the bottom of the jar so they stay dry.

That's Interisting you bonk it AND then bleed it... we just toss our fish on a stringer long enough that they can swim out a bit and stay alive until until we've limited and right before we leave well bleed them out and then dress them...

@BrianMonticello Год назад

I've thought about that method too over the years, as I've seen it done all over the place. But I mainly do not do that for 2 reasons. First is, I think there are different compounds that build up in the fish as they pretty much have a slow death there on your stringer as they are undergoing all that stress (depending on how long they survive) which I believe can affect the meat quality. I think of it sort of similarly to how lactic acid builds up in humans as we run/walk for long distances. And second reason is just its not super ethical, since they are probably suffering a slower death on your stringer as opposed to just bonking them right out. And that in combination with the meat quality issue from my first reason, I think makes it all the more unneeded, since I think the whole idea is that keeping them alive would preserve meat quality, when in fact, they're not quite "alive and well" so to say where the meat quality would be preserved best.

The river name does not give any spots away. It is zero secret that the green river has salmon in it, and it is over 60 miles long

@BrianMonticello 2 года назад

And anyone who already salmon fishes is already well aware of the green river, much like the puyallup, Snohomish, Columbia, etc are all well known rivers to have fish. If I was giving away specific spots on the river, sure, I’d agree with you. But I also don’t want to blow out my own spots, and posting simply the river name will not do this.
