I've also caught big bull trout and brown trout on K-15's! You don't see many people pulling plugs in lakes that hold record fish and that's a good thing...it ups your odds tremendously. Once you find the thermolcline and put your plugs in that zone it's only a matter of time before a monster trout smacks your plug.
One of my favorite ways to fish for steelhead and salmon from a boat havent caught any fish tho on a plug since ive gotten stationed in washington id love to see some videos on fishing plugs from the bank
Down here in Cali it’s our preferred way of fishing for kings! We back troll them mostly or fish them on an anchor early in the morning to catch them coming out of the holes! You want to become a good plug fisherman you have to fish down here for salmon we are a plug republic down here!
Love a plug takedown 🎣🎣. Can’t go wrong with a double trouble, slammer, grinch, or a fickle pickle!! Of course wrapped and tuned with sardines or herring.
in 1991 I was fishing k14's anchored on the lower Willamette slue just up from the Columbia river, it was raining so i put up the top and we took a little knap. I woke up to see my rod pounding so i got up grabbed the pole and brought up a 14 lbs upriver bright fish and lost it right at the boat. I went into Larry's sport center and asked the guys what happened they said you need to sit on your hands for at least 10 seconds before you ever think about picking up the rod. A hard lesson to learn.
I haven't caught anything on a Quickfish plug. But back in the '70s, I stopped on the side of a river on my way to Seaside OR. And watched a guy in a boat fight a 65 lb. Chinook on a bright blue Quickfish plug.
I have caught more steel , #35 hotshot than anything else. Lol and yes, you want to tie people's hands to the seat, unless that rod tip is buried in the water, and line peeling, don't touch the rod! 😊🎣
I love your intro so much, by the way i live very close to your guys' Addicted Fishing Office building (im assuming thats what it is) in washington, fan collab? ? ? ? ?
Yes I do like fishing salmon plugs like kwikfish and flatfish and Hot Shots and wiggle warts now with these plugs and other plugs could you be able to run a single hook I split ring with a side wash hook would that be able to get less of a hang up on the bottom because I like to throw these plugs from the shore and retrieve them slowly
So you can run a single hook on the plugs okay and I think I am going to be probably going to a single hook on all my Wiggler's plugs thank you for the good information
@@shaunlehman9158 hey shaun, it's been a year but damn i sure hope you get this. i used to run a split ring twixt the siwash & the end of my vibrax for kings in alaska while wading. i did a bunch of lift/breakage tests to determine the perfect split ring that would break when i snagged so i could retrieve my lures & not decorate the river. it's been a few years, & i can't remember what size split ring i was running. our fish average tween 20-30 lbs. long fkn story short, do you know what size split ring you're running? thanks dude, i really appreciate this if you get notified & let me know. thanks in advance.
@@shaunlehman9158 dude, i can't tell you how much i appreciate this. i leave in a week so this will help a lot. like i say, we have 3 jetboats, skinny river, we usually just wade & cast vibrax in our favorite holes but...sometimes if we get a lot of rain it's a bitch & i've always wanted to try anchoring & throw out a quick fish. you're getting me pumped!
Awesome video I live on lake Erie I know u nw guys get all weird about us calling them steelhead lol but we catch them on Brad plugs on our river awesome 👍👍👍 what do u think I could wrap on a kwikfish with here to increase strikes??? Love all the addicted fishing videos you guys are very talented we appreciate all the knowledge you share
back when i used to chase trout and salmon i had good success with worden's flatfish . trick is size to speed. this lure style will roll if its too fast. also i got one the size of a small banana in my muskie box and it still hasn't produced. smh my plug collection is worth more than my boat.
I completely disagree with leaving the pole alone when a fish bites on a kwik fish. If you hold your pole and set the hook at the first strike 99+% I hook nearly everyone, but it takes holding your pole. Every fish will be hooked on the front hook( the meat hook) .I think only novice fisherman should leave the pole in pole holder. I learned this technique from an old guide . If you have a chance give it a try. I promise your hook up rate will increase. Much love everybody ❤️
Hola amigo acá a chile no están llegando éstos señuelos nosotros le llamamos caimanes, lamentablemente yo pescó con los k15 y K16, con los colores plateado con rojo o con plateado con morado, pero estamos complicados acá estamos sin este producto hace 2años aproximadamente, si pudiera comprarlos en USA, sería genial, saludos.
First time plunking with a twitch and jig I used a silver jig that had polka dots on it nose and tell we're painted green and I cannot find for the life of me the same jig anywhere I've tried Bass Pro Cabela's just about every place I see tackle and haven't found that same jig again where in the hell can I find that magic twitcher
ive used brads wigglers a lot. but it seems when I just leave them out the back of boat after awhile they end up just floating on top of water. Whats the reason for that?
Ill say one secret, no matter how deep it is i will never run weight, just change size of quickfish! Time to get sturgeon rods out, and on that note everyone have a safe and merry Christmas. Tight lines
