S5E250Bass Fishing for Noobs - Salmon Fishing W/ Michael Muniz

Paddle N' Fin

On today's episode of Salmon & Trout Fishing for Noobs, er we mean, Bass Fishing for Noobs, Susie and Sean welcome Michael Muniz, aka ChiCity Yaker to the show. Michael is a seasoned kayak angler, and salmon fishing angler at that. We begin with Michael talking about how he first started getting into kayak fishing 2013, and then how he transitioned into chasing after salmon/trout after learning from fellow anglers who had been fishing for salmon for many years. He first began in a paddle kayak on lake Michigan and the rush of the big water, big fish, and putting the pieces together to catch at 25+lb salmon set the hook for his passion for this species. He also began his Youtube channel which was mostly for knowledge and to look back and gain more insight from the experiences. Today he focuses on being a "coach" and/or guide for others who are interested in trying to fish for salmon/trout from a kayak for the first time.

We talk about how someone can get started to go fishing for salmon with gear someone might already have, and what lures, gear, and other equipment are good to have to get started. The greatest benefit of fishing for salmon/trout is that they can be fished practically year round on Lake Michigan, and many other species could be caught as well. Michael goes into some more details about using torpedo weights, dodgers/flies, flashers, spoons, line, lead core, reels with line counters, and rods.

Tune in for this informational and educational segment to get you on the water to catch your next salmon/trout from Lake Michigain!
