MEAT RIGS / Do’s and DON’Ts / The How and the Why 

Just found you channel! Great information for someone just getting started fishing the great lakes!

Great info as always - thanks Chris!

Thanks Chris, always great to chat!👍👍

Thanks for teaching America Some fishing tactics

👍👍👍as always, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I haven't tried meat rigs yet. It sounds like I should.

Great info - I have not been able to get my meat program to fire. Hopefully this will change our luck with meat rigs.

Heading out tomorrow from Northpoint- running a MR on my deepest rigger. Thanks for telling us all about your meat 😏

I have some Big One cut bait from 4 years ago. They’ve only been refrigerated and I ran them last season (3yrs old) and they were still good. Held together fine and caught fish. Downfall, I’m from the Toronto area, 45 minutes from their location and they charged me American funds

👍👍👍👍

My dad works at ace and they sell dots there and they sell out almost every week. There so good!

need 4 salmon steelhead reels & poles set up can you recommend which 4 you would use? and how you would set the 4 up(lead-core, wire,) (already have my 4 downriggers set to go)

Hi again Chris! Do you know by chance what size tubing Dreamweaver has on their meat heads? And does Big One Cur Bait do herring since here in SD. herring and smelt is their major food source! Thanks!

I was out in frankfort got off a little late witch

Hey Chris just wondered do you run the thick cut or thin cut meat from "the big one cut bait"?

Can you use smelt for cut bait on meatrigs or are they too small? When using braid for dipsy could I use a heavier poundage than 30 ld. Or just go straight to wire for dipsys?

Chris, so yesterday I lost a day, thought it was Sunday? Looked and tried every thing possible to find you, My mistake...lol Hope to catch you tonight.

Hi Chris, new to salmon fishing on lake Michigan, i live in TN but my daughter and son in-law live in Escanaba and i plan on fishing the week of June 19th 2021, i purchased a 21 foot with downriggers and have spent a lot of money on rod, reels and tackle. I have fished all my life i am originality from England fishing for carp then New England fishing for Tuna and strip bass, now the great lakes. any help on me catching a salmon and letting my grandsons catch them would be much appreciated. trying to get the kids involved and have fun.

Curious what boat you fish out of? Type size, thanks for all your help.

All ok

With the meat I've had stiff and soggy ones from the same brand does that have a effect in them and should one not be used?

The saltists have to high of gearing compared to the tekotas though. The reel works great but wouldn't want them for anymore then a rigger rod.

andy k ​chris you get more action on non finned side. look at the package. Is that true?

Do you sell cut bait/herring?

Hi Chris heading out tomorrow morning looking for some kings

Some day the coast guard might save your life !! Be respectful

Salmon up the river.....in may?!?!?
