The Columbia River Sockeye Fishery is one of the best fisheries the Columbia sees during the early summer months. These sockeye are heading upriver to spawn and catching them can be a challenge. In this video Charles from Addicted Fishing is going to show you how to rig a full bank fishing setup to target and catch Columbia River Sockeye. Bank fishing for sockeye and doing it right is something debated all over the internet. A lot of people will tell you that a sockeye won’t bite. That is simply not the case, sockeye will 100% bite and can absolutely be caught without snagging or flossing them. Tune into to this full video to see the setup in action!

Must be a different breed of Sockeye Alaska Sockeye don't feed when the return to the river to spawn.
Did you say to keep tension on the line when he drops it from kayak or do you flip bail so it goes down and takes more line?
Yall do some weird stuff down south, im from alaska but movin down to spokane for college. I think my set up is gonna be close to perfect with these fish
Well done video! I used to catch them years ago in SE Alaska. I used a small double corky setup with pink yarn, 1/0 octopus hook and pencil lead on my spin rod. Once I mastered that, I used a 9 wt flyrod with floating main line and sink tip with a shrimp fly I tied on my vise. Both techniques worked very well.
In Alaska we floss. Lol that being said I’ve caught knik river sockeye on tiny shrimp and tiny pink spin n glo. And they swallowed it deep. So they do bite but in kenai we just floss cause why not. Combat fishing requires flossing. And current is way to strong.
Ditch the bell, keep your drag just tight enough to hold the line in place in the current and engage the clicker. When a fish hits, it will start taking drag and the the clicker let’s you know.
Nice video. Are sockeye up here in Alaska seem to have lock jaw. Never heard of some one getting an Alaskan sockeye on bait. Only flosing.
just when it was getting good, Boom closure cause the 1000 fish that go up the Snake might be coming through?. This fuckin State is a Joke
FYI dropping lines from a floating device is now illegal for salmon in the Columbia River.
It doesn't really seem like it would be very fun catching them this way. With that much over kill on the rod size and line weight and on top of that having that huge weight on there can you really feel much of a fight?
How do you feel about tying the coon shrimp with stretchy string? Is the presentation just as effective?
