SNAGGIN SEWARD SALMON!

SNAGGING IN SEWARD vs flossing…

In this video I set out to try and clear up the difference between “Flossing” and “Snagging” fish. It has been a long, long debate amongst anglers and id like to (SHOW) the difference and hopefully change some people’s opinion. We can never please everyone, but this is our 2 cents on the topic.

Now to start off Snagging is legal here, in June, in Seward, for sockeye and kings because they are hatchery and it’s a saltwater area. so, every year 1000s of people head to the Seward beaches and lagoons to fill their coolers.
Snagging requiring very little skill to achieve a catch also requires very little gear such as
-an ugly stick
-a box of weighted treble hooks
-waders
-perhaps a sled or cart
-and standard carryon tools

To my knowledge the catch limit is 6 per day 6 in possession. If the fishing is good. Sometimes Fish n game will bump the limit up to 9-12 per day! Talk about a lot of fish! The best time iv seen is going at low tide, but you can still catch them in high tide as you will see in this video. If you want the most success id just camp overnight but if you’re on a day trip adventure, there free parking a ways little past the campground on Nash road. While you’re there you might even get lucky to see some seals chasing the sockeye in. after you’ve had your fill of snagging you can head back out towards bear creek where you can see all the 1000s of fish the got past all the hooks in the water. Its quite a sight! Maybe even actually see a bear! But be safe.

Seward is a great little town with a lot to offer far as fishing goes and some day soon ill be making another video perhaps down at millers landing or a charter. Who knows!?
