Coho salmon fishing from the bank 09⁄07⁄2026 in PNW ¦ How to Fish for Salmon in WA.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, oh, let me see. Hey guys, Bash here. Today, I'm out at the beach for the fall kohu fishing. Actually, those guys on the boat, they are already catching kohu for about three weeks now, but for the bank fishermen now, it's just getting hot. So that's why I'm coming out to try my luck for the kohu. Before I get started, as always, let me show you guys my setup. So here is the 9 foot and 6 medium light rod I just bought. I like it a lot. It's a little bit heavy, but it's strong enough for salmon fishing. This is a 3,000 riyal. I'm using a 40 pound of mainline. Over here, this is a green drunker, the salmon jig I designed. You guys love the pink drunker for pink salmon last year. So this year, I made the green drunker for kohu. So I have two sizes. This is a 3.25 oz size. I also have the 1.5 oz one. If you are interested, check my website. So about how to tie the jig. So this is what I do. I usually just connect this jig with a swivel. If you guys don't like the swivel directly contact to your jig, you can tie the line to the ring in here. But if you do that, you need to tie the swivel just like above your line, about one foot or two foot. Like tie the line directly to the loop where make the line like to it, which I don't think it's a good idea. Yeah, that's it. Green drunker. Let's see whether we will get the good kohu with this one today. Talk about salmon fishing. I always think it's quite simple. Doesn't really need much technique. I just cast as far as I can and then slowly jig back to the bank. I don't really jig that crazily. As you can see, just like jig a little bit once in a while. Sometimes when I'm tired, I don't really jig at all. I just like pull it back a little bit slower. Because those salmon, they are quite aggressive when they are still in the salt water. As long as you have the right type of jig and you show up at the right place at the right time, they will bite. But there's one thing I do want to mention for kohu fishing, and I only say it for kohu fishing. It's like when kohu is hooked, it sometimes swim to your direction. So for a while, you might think, oh, I lost that fish. But actually the fish is still on, but it's just swimming to your direction. So don't give up. When you feel like the tension is gone, just keep reeling. They might still be there. Oh, oh, oh, fish on! Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Let me see. Oh, that's a... That's a keeper! Got a hatchery! Yeah! Nice! See? Wow! Green drunkard got a hatchery! Nice! Finally! Hatchery kohu! I'm so excited! Yeah! Yes, been so many wild kohu recently. Finally get a good one. Nice! Yeah, the kohu salmon is strong. The flat green drunkard now become this shape. Yeah, but still fishable. Okay, guys, I'm heading back now. It's about 10 a.m. Need to go back to catch the ferry. In total, I saw about 10 fish caught off the beach. And they're still catching them. So it's definitely getting better. If you have time, come out and try it out. Hi, guys, I'm back at home now. This is kohu I caught a few hours ago. I cut them to small pieces and put salt and pepper and fried each side for about three minutes and then just put the green onion on top of it. This way is simple but quite delicious. Yeah, fresh kohu, the salt water one is my favorite salmon. I prefer it over the king and pink. Yeah, so I'm going to enjoy my dinner now. Hope you guys like today's video. Thanks for watching and see you guys next time. Bye-bye. Look at it. It's so delicious. Yeah.
