1K views
Feb 7, 2025
This video is probably not worth your time, unless you love Neah Bay and can't get enough fishing content and fisherman doing dumb stuff. Neah Bay might be one of my favorite places on the planet to fish. Beautiful, stunning scenery and epic salmon troll and bottomfish pinnacles. We had a close encounter with a whale, and some other wildlife like puffins that was cool. Here's a link to my members-only invite on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc2lsUTFTPx-vU35CIpBmpA/join As I stated in the video, I will create some deep how-to's on Neah Bay fishing if I get demand for it through folks joining the channel.

0:15
life here with another video this one
0:17
shot at Nia Bay my friends and I took a
0:21
two to three day trip out there and just
0:23
had an absolute blast in June 2024
0:26
catching Rockfish Ling con and of course
0:29
uh chasing salmon as much as we could
0:31
one of the challenges with putting
0:33
together a crew like this and going on
0:35
this kind of a trip right is everyone
0:37
has different ideas of what they want to
0:39
do and in this case salmon trolling was
0:41
challenging right we it was not super
0:43
hot in close and the weather was was
0:47
also challenging we couldn't run as far
0:49
as we wanted to and hit all the spots
0:51
and and the times and the windows we
0:53
wanted to so so there was a lot of this
0:55
like uh you know rock fish or bottom
0:57
fishing versus versus salmon trolling
1:00
and uh we tried to balance the two but
1:02
we probably ended up doing a lot more
1:03
bottom fishing we did salmon
1:07
trolling got a
1:09
fish fish on y
1:14
on is it a nice one was that on the 7
1:16
oer
1:20
y either or let me know when you see it
1:25
it
1:38
got it so we yes the
1:44
boat the boat on the
1:48
bo yes nice Wing well you might be
1:50
hanging out I guess 18 or 19 right there
1:55
yeah so we hanging out for over here
1:58
we're just this is still our
2:06
last nice link although we didn't get as
2:09
much footage of this as I as I would
2:11
have liked uh the the thing that went
2:13
the best on this trip was the link cod
2:15
fishing you know here's you'll see we
2:18
got one captured here of a 21 pound we
2:21
probably got six or seven link cot of
2:23
that class maybe more uh we had we had a
2:26
lot of Link con that everyone took back
2:28
I mean it was it it was it was
2:30
ridiculous that was by far what we had
2:33
the most of in terms of weight but most
2:35
of it happened in like an hour stretch
2:39
maybe hour and a half stretch of the
2:41
entire trip which is when the window
2:43
opened up to do a particular drift and a
2:45
particular spot and a lot of times
2:47
that's what link cod fishing is all
2:49
about right the easy places the
2:51
well-known places by June they're pretty
2:53
picked through so uh with you know some
2:57
of the places where you can that are
2:58
more reliable the fish better later
3:01
they're very weather dependent and you
3:03
got to get the right current the right
3:04
wind and we we were able to do that but
3:08
unfortunately I didn't get a lot of that
3:09
footage and we probably had a couple
3:11
hundred pounds of lingcod by the end of
3:13
the trip and most of it from about an
3:16
hour or two of of actual fishing so that
3:19
was a monster that was a lot of fun
3:22
there's a really good crew and we I we
3:25
had an absolute blast I this is probably
3:28
one of the sillier videos I've put
3:30
