HOW TO - catch salmon with prawns

In this session I am using dyed red prawns to catch salmon, this method in the wrong hands can be deadly.

Tackle used:
Rod - major craft first cast 10-30gram
Reel - Penn Fierce
Line - 30lb braid to swivel and 12lb clear mono

1 1/2 shrimping pin
Size 10 treble

Prawns from purple whiskers

Catch and release 💯

Enjoy the sport 🎣

My second trip to Scotland fishing for salmon, was a miserable day raining steadily, freelined a purple prawn under a tree on the far bank, line stopped i tighten down thought i was snagged but when then the " snagged " moved i had my first salmon! In its mouth was hanging my friends " flying C " that he had lost to the fish earlier, i had the fish he got his lure back ! Nearly 30 years ago now but a great memory . A year later second trip lure fishing with a bright yellow " lazzy ike " lure, a seasoned salmon angler doubted its effectiveness, i proved him wrong! Magic 😊

I live in South Africa and we fish mostly trout or bass in my home province. This is some serious skill you have. River fish are just so mi h stronger than fish caught in dams. Stunning fish you caught here and 4 pounds is not small bud.

Excellent informative video. Great skill liked the subtle movement of the index finger on the loose line. Landed quickly which enabled you to put the fish back as fresh as a daisy. Total respect.

I used to catch a lot of salmon from the Lune on purple and red shrimps back in the day. I once caught 15 over three consecutive afternoon sessions in mid-September. I found that trotting the bait into the faces of the fish under a float at the speed of the current was more effective than swinging the bait across the fish. But different bits of rivers fish differently.

Good skills there, I have never fished the Prawn as a lot of my waters don't allow it anymore. Good angling and a pleasure to watch. Thanks

Just stumbled across your video by mistake, buddy. Absolutely cracking this Fishing. Some lovely salmon. I’ve only ever caught one by mistake whilst I was perch fishing with my ultralight rod.. That was fun believe me. Anyway love the video and the content and love seeing the Fish go back as well. Lovely scenery and all the best to you, buddy.👍🎣😁

Cracking, reminds me of The Occasional Salmon vid.
I would guess it's Gosforth water who advertise on their web site that you can get day tickets but sadly you can't.
Desperate to fish Crag House 😭😭
Good vids 👍👍

[TweedFisherman]

Thank you. Very interesting and informative., What does the actual take feel like ? I imagine it’s very gentle and you strike when you feel the line moving away ?

[peternufc]

Good craic mate. Look powerful fish for the size of the look great fun to catch

New subscriber here from Northumberland good fighting fish had a few out this year on the maggot

[dmpuk]

You really do know how to catch salmon ! Good to see they are there to get if you know how to get ‘em.

Q: How come you don’t get trout taking the prawn as well ?

[wullieg]

Float would help when pin pointing fish.
