Hello guys from our hometown of Seward, Alaska! I really hope you can hear
this video and it works out well! It wasn't windy at the house but here at
the head of the bay... It's rather windy! We're here to snag
Salmon Sakai's... A lot of people call it like the Resurrection River sockeye run...
That's a completely inaccurate! It's more the Bear Creek sockeye run at the head
of Resurrection Bay... It's an enhanced fishery through
hatcheries and civilians or us. We're allowed to catch the remnants of what
this commercially enhance fishery has... And it's pretty amazing because you
allowed six fish a day... You need to cross a few creeks here to get to my desired
channel.... Well let's start it off real quick!... In order to legally snag fish you
need to be below the high tide mark! So here to the South we can legally snag!
Some people say ahh snagging... That's not ethical, not sporting they're all true! It's not!
But, this is not like necessarily a sport fishery. This is a fill your freezer
fishery!... Okay! My weapon of choice is a six and a half foot one-piece ugly stick!
Big fan of the one-piece because it doesn't come apart when you are casting!
This is actually a brand new old reel! I need to put some more line on it but
that's the only braided line I had! But I prefer using braided line for this
fishery! Zero stretch... Tammy, thank you so much for giving us some fishing rails!
I'm really looking forward to using this thing. It is awesome! It's like an
old-school daiwa ss1000 and it's all metal and they don't make them like this
anymore! And moving on up... This is a
snag hook! It's pretty much a large treble hook with some lead on it! You cast it
out and the pro tip here, is I use a steel leader in this fishery. You're very
prone to getting your hook fouled on your line and a steel leader
dramatically reduces that!... Alright guys I'm rocking this as a solo vlog...So I'm
here, you're gonna want to have your drag nice and tight!
Don't spout these fish! Just drag them on up when you get them!
okay this is the middle Creek that I just casted a line in, no luck! I'm gonna
head to the further west Creek. Just behind me here! It really helps if you
wear waders because you have to cross a bunch of creeks! I prefer breathable
waders. They're awesome! They keep you warm! Just... It's worth the
investment! So guys there's a couple techniques... Cast it all the way across
the water in this jerk and across, if the fish are out of your reach... It's a
great way! The other technique is flipping... Just get the line out and
close your bail...Of course out and then...
Amazing technique! If the fish are running right in one of these deep
little channels... Okay! This is real life! But it pays to be mobile... There's a few
little creeks here and... I see three fish coming in right now! Got one right over
there! That guy just got one and that guy on the other side just got one!
Scale them, rip the gal out and lead them... This one it's kind of small! This is a
sockeye salmon! You want to make sure to have a good solid stringer!
Okay well that little flurry died off at that other Creek so I'm going to come to
my old faithful one here!
Number two!
Let's see if I get three for three!
Number four... Alright guys! I only need one more fish to fill my limit! And just
because I want to have fun, I got a Barbie princess real!
Alright! The Disney princess setup caught my last fish!
That's a wrap! Alright guys! That's a nice stringer of six sockeye also known
as red salmon... Hey what do we have over here? Did dad limit out? Nice catch dad!
Good job! Alright guys! That's about it for today's vlog on snagging salmon in
