Salmon Fishing Northern California

[snowyparker]

My pet peeves are when outsiders want to put San Francisco into "Central California" and endangered species are harvested for sport. Catch and release people! Have we not learned anything?

[xenviousx]

I recently went aboard the El Dorado for some salmon. Had a blast. They rigged their anchovies the same way as in 0:42 (secs) into the video. Anyone know how to rig them like this? They used a hook with a twisted wire. The wire was used to create a bend in the anchovy for some action.

[aznkidsrule]

Why are those salmon like kinda small

[TriGuy10011]

2 reasons why i dont like this video. 1: you are using level winders. 2: the fish that you are catching are all extremely small, the biggest being smaller than 10 pounds.

[Wc3FrEaKgAmEsGlItChS]

dude thats just cruel they look over a pund you will hardly get any meat of that

your sick man sick

[MrPhotoFreakish]

Beatiful :) 

[Micheal25922]

hold a Asian women *lushfmlk.info*

[CPD503]

looks like they were catching minnows. Come on guys, throw em back !

[ndebona1]

all tiny come to NY caught a 36 inch salmon yesterday

[AIienWorkShop]

i wonder y its closed because of low spwan? maybe becuase you catch like 10X over the limit?

[timduncan11]

ahhh lake michigan actually has the best offshore salmon fishing in the world hands down not Alaska of British Columbia

[theultamatevideofly]

that is not northern cal. that is sanfrancicco

[TheJordandelphonic]

@theultamatevideofly which is northern isn't it?

[lukebccb]

@theultamatevideofly: while technically - and factually - San Francisco is in Central CA., everyone refers to San Francisco as being in "Northern CA."

[xfiles1952]

@lukebccb it kinda is in the northern but you can still say its in the central cause i only live like 1 and a half away from san fran

[Piterszczyk]

Yea, the boat is crowded, thats not much fun, they dont even look at the fish they catch, they simply throw them into the box... I wouldnt be off for such fishing...

[TheApollopotter]

That was a pretty sick video!!! no respect whatsoever shown to the fish, just hauling them in and throwing them into that plastic box to "Drown" if a fish is to be eaten, then Kill It Right Away!!! thats what a "real angler" would do..... what an insult to the Beautiful Creatures to be caught by Cretins

[TheGreatlakesfishen1]

Small salmon not 1over 15 pounds kinda sad plus let some go would ya plz

[spendizzzle]

im pretty sure theres a limit on how much salmon u can keep a day, even with like 20 ppl. thanks guys, im sure northern cal will loose all salmon by 2011

[Survival96]

we have man

[spendizzzle]

well hey, i just read an article yesterday in the newspaper about the decline of the salmon run this year so far. thanks asshole

[Survival96]

you calling me an asshole?

[spendizzzle]

if u were on that ship, or doing what there doing, i would be calling u an asshole at the very least

[spendizzzle]

and that article was talking about the san francisco area, were u guys were

[ChiefNabster]

UJONFTW, i couldnt agree more with your comment. jackasses will you ever release a few of them rather than robbing them and ruining everyone elses sport and fun.. theres no problem with keeping fish and not releasing, just dont keep them all... -.- . who agrees with me??

[Ravs023]

That is great. I was just told that the season for salmon fishing on the sacramento river is open for two months until Dec 31st. I'm planning a trip up to red bluff for fishing, hope we get some nice ones.

[Puuhis666]

Nice salmon's :D

[UJONFTW]

and some people wonder why they cant catch salmon anymore

[BassAnglerMike33]

maybe you cant other people can

[Yuratchka]

The way they're fishing is as easy as dragging a net (although I never dragged a net myself since that would be cheating).

[foketesz]

equipment too heavy, moving boat... These fish with lighter tackle would be a greater sport, maybe, but must be fun, tho...

[TheMyfancypants]

How many Californians does it take to land one fish ??

[Square1Boy]

dunno???

[cptdustin]

1,000,000!!!!

[Yuratchka]

Apparently more than six. LOL!

[ducktumbler]

its like a production line...wheres the challenge?

[RonScheel1]

Fuck your little cat fish ever caught a 12 foot sturgeon

[OS253]

Dude, what is wrong with you? Are you a wacko? You don't need to curse to prove your stinking point! Anyway, I have never caught a 12 foot sturgeon. I'm not interested.

[Yuratchka]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[SpAzJoN15693]

i am soon:)

[drumkeys]

I live in humboldt  :\

[shifter510]

[jrtec13]

what?

[gontar76]

is there any good river to fish for salmon i that area

[NorCalFishinguru]

Ah, back when the gov. still let us cast a line for kings...

[nakhirman]

And forgot to say. Welcome to finland and you find yourselves in nearest river.

[nakhirman]

Thats really cruel...not like a true sport fisher acts. Well typical americans,what can i say...

[Rabidfishermen17]

damn you really harvested a lot of fish

[yootoob975]

typical ive thought of freshwater salmon fishing to be caught by fly fishing but can you catch them with just a regular spinning reel

[DONOVAN1988]

live anchovie, hook through throat out nose.

[dnyres]

Your music makes it real hard to watch the video!! Jesus Christ, if I wanted to hear an organ, I'd either go to church or fart!

[justeglio1]

this is shit. British Columbia or Alaska is were ya gota go for some real fishing

[fatbellytraveler]

yeah but its all we got in Cal now not even that with Salmon season closed for second year due to low spawn - this might be it for good - hope not

[Georooney]

No shit! Those dudes don't even know how to fish. Watch the guy just keep cranking the level wind reel like it's some kind of winch; not working the rod or the fish.

And hey guys, if you want to eat those fish and have them taste like something other than what you fished out of your septic tank, try bleeding them right away and preferrably gutting them at some time.. Don't just dump them in a tank.

[omagron]

@Georooney hi, how are you? im good, FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is sea fishing you flid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can reel them in like that because its a sea fishing rod not a little bit of wood with string, learn your facts you bellend

[Georooney]

@omagron Yeah? Well, I bet I've landed more and bigger fish than your daddy ever dreamed of. Watch any pro play a big fish, why don'tcha? Sheesh.....amateurs!

[omagron]

@Georooney my dad never fished you American fucking idiot, make eveyone happy and fuck off posting pointless comments on a fishing video....get a life

[Georooney]

@justeglio1 Right on!

Better still, stay at home, ya wankers.....more fish for us locals.

[asiancool2576]

@justeglio1 well excuse you piss off then asshole

[clovis2extremo]

wow lot of salmon

[fastball484]

this shits weak... alaska is where it is at. cali is land of fruit and nuts....

[pumkinbreath]

DINKS!

[anglasrabines]

Espectaular pesca!!! Me dan ganas de navegar con ustedes!! Saludos desde Perú.

[hesselhof]

that is shit tierqueler

[Clevernickname999]

Thanks for sharing that brought back a lot of great memories. We went on the New Ray Ann last season.

[Skuldan]

shure, it seems fun. But one rule is... Never take more than you need from the ocean. Thats not fishing, its slaughtering..

[dirtTdude]

its not slaughtering, it's called harvesting. Each person you saw catching fish bought a fishing licence and is restricted to their catch limit for that day. The owner / operator of the boat you see in the video makes his living by selling an experience. It cost each person on that boat over $100.00 plus the cost of a fishing licence so if you do some math, you will see that each person paid about $30.00 a pound for their fish... Sorry, that is not a slaughter.

[spendizzzle]

@dirtTdude yea it is, yes they mave have caught there limit but when theres all those people and catching there limit, this year in san fransisco the salmon run was very weak and scientists believe to see them wiped out from san fran in a year or two. do u know why salmon are becoming very endangered and WILL become extinct? becuase although people may catch there limit, when theres enough people they will out fish a stream or ocean. C&R or die

[dirtTdude]

@spendizzzle if your local fish and game department opened it while that particular run department is in danger, they should be held accountable. i recommend writing them and discussing it with them. the actual reason / reasons wild coho and chinook are in danger is from both over fishing and or but not limited to netting, commercial fishing boats measure their catch by the ton, sport and food fish anglers only account for 5% of the loss, feel free to discuss it with the fish and game too

[HryMuscle]

Maybe you did'nt read ... there's a two fish per person limit. That's not even close to being a 'slaughter'.

[xxdylanxscreamxx]

lol this moron shouldnt be allowed a youtube account just because of this comment.

[andrewc0m3r]

great job!!! wat do u use for bait on salmon anyway?

[Roger161]

Nice fishing footage. The water looked pretty calm that day.

[mariaRV2]

fish is healthy to eat - very low in bad fats. Not one of those guys is in bad shape.

[chrischris292]

lol

[HryMuscle]

I hear albacore tuna is very healthy also. Come out on one of the albacore fishing boats in Southern California and see all the obese, chain smoking slobs . That'll change your mind.

[mrpimpster]

damn...nice vid...too bad they banned salmon fishing...

[glenniesan]

Great video of a fine day on the Bay! WTG!

[markmnorcal]

That be a squawfish.

[Bonapart3]

I was in CA about two years ago. We went fishing outside of a reef in San Diego I believe. It wasn't very deep, about 20-30 meters and I caught this strange fish. It was all red. But a different shape than the Gurnard you guys caught in this movie. It had the shape of a Bass-sort of, with more fangs. The captain told me it was a very rare fish and took my picture, but I cant for the world remember the name of it. Do you guys know what it was?

[lammyking]

is there a reason people post such long comments

[TsLOw]

lol...

[warveteran102]

i think you are talking about a Sheephead..

[arthuro13]

it was willy.. or jaws.. yar.. that be it ..

squawfish ;)

[BurnTheLeaves]

orange roughy?

[robbiemcdonald]

erm...lets not :)

[patiam1969]

Vermilion Rockfish?!?

[Bonapart3]

After ten months, finally! :D Thank you!

[lupus6996]

When you keep trolling while you fight the fish you end up drowning the fight out of the fish. I would rather pay money to go fish at a trout pond with a ultra light than drag 5 lb. salmon around with halibut gear.

[HiluxLover]

that netter guy is pro man

[aznboi11218]

great vid !

[alaska113]

didn't see anyone bleed any of those fish. it sure makes a difference in quality to bleed them with the heart still beating. The fish at the beginning were dressed very nicely, just didn't see much bleeding going on.

[yamaha3501]

hey if u want to catch big spring slamom come to kitimat bc the fish in the vid is small the spring salmon in kitimat are in the 50 to 60 pound range

[onkelzfighter]

good job

[Mistral8Wind]

This kind of fishing (trolling) really isn't much fun on a crowded charter boat. Sure, you get fish, but many times end up losing the big ones because the idiot "stern hogs" won't move to get of your way when fighting a big, heavy slug King against the speed of the boat. Give me California style drift mooching with sliding sinkers and light line any time! Plus, the salmon are much, much bigger when mooching outside the Gate in the summer/early fall.

[cyjeren]

I hope I can go with this group and enjoy what theya re doing. Wonderful video!

[mnxz11]

ive been trying to catch a salmon on the grand river in michigan for a while, does anybody have any tips?

[603700000962]

Not one of those fish would have been legal in Washington State.

[fatbellytraveler]

why not?

[dirtTdude]

In Washington we have minimum size (age) limitations, selective fisheries regulations (no native fish may be retained) depending on species and time of year. 603700000962 must not do to much winter blackmouth fishing.

[yamanmustafa]

Damn, check out how many fish were biting! I just woke up from a dream of salmon fishing, so i had to come down and watch it on youtube. well done guys

[mountingoat]

There is no better smell in the world than a crisp cold morning before the sun has come up with salty air and gasoline smells hitting your naustrals! Someone needs to make a herring/gasoline/salt cologne

[alexklashnikov]

NIce water just got back from brooking,OR 2-3 swells biggest fish 24 lbs 20 ft boat 8 MI out :) fun stuff

[fishingwithrod]

Very nice, check out my Canadian fishing vids too!

[mongyaj]

Hey are these the boat that you pay them $50.00 to them and they will take you to a hot spot?

[ponch1234]

mongyai, did you notice the shot of the poles at the end,they were all the same. Yes this was a party boat and they went out of the gg bridge and appears they headed out and north,That is why I asked "where exactly was rhe spot" (so calm)

[ponch1234]

where were you exactly? Im amazed at how calm the water is.

[mongyaj]

That is at the golden gate bridge in San Francisco, California.

[fatbellytraveler]

Sorry Alex, it just looks like you the, actual star is my son Charlie - I ought to know I filmed it. - Jim

[audrina24]

My fiance is in this video! I love you Alex! You work so hard! You're the star of the video :-)

[cbane]

Go Alex! Those Salmon never had a chance!
