While you did not catch a 20" smallmouth in episode 2. You are doing very well with numbers. That says a lot for lure selection. Keep it up and that PB will arrive soon.
John is definitely good inspiration. A wacky rigged watermelon and pearl laminate Yum dinger worked great for me this morning. Plenty of large mouth in the 2 to 3 pound range at the local park pond this morning.
You're trying and learning new things spots. River smallies are challenging sometimes but good choice to throw multiple lures. Like all of those choices. 30 years of chasing them and I'm still learning brother. Keep going.
i live right behind a nice river. I get 4lbs+ bass back to back off the bank here sometimes. I find river fishing for me is either really good or very slow.
Lol true. Side note - I must admit that I have been made aware that the Lamprey I "got rid of" was actually a Chestnut Lamprey which is native. Now that I know, I will be returning them to the water to maintain their role in the ecosystem. Sea Lamprey are much larger (and scarier) lol
River smallmouth has always been my long-term fishing ambition (in my case from a canoe), so I am psyched for this series and relate to the challenges you’re facing. It’s worth it!
You’ve got the right idea man, I’ve been fishing the river in my city in Texas for 5 years now and what I’ve learned is to always cover water and fish the conditions. I feel like they are very temperamental, and the key on my river is wind blown current since the natural current there is minimal. If there is a ripple on the water I’m good to fish most areas. If not I fish the bends where a lot of cover can stack up underwater. But you’re right conditions change between every trip and you’re best off covering a ton of water like you did, and once you figure out what they will bite just roll with it until they won’t anymore. It looked like you were fishing in slick calm weather, that’s not easy anywhere! I’m glad you still caught a few 🤙🏽. I’ve had some really good river trips on my channel this year too.
You should do a video on the types of rods you use for bass fishing an what type of line you use as well cause i would be interested in watching that also
I can never figure out which is the best approach; t stave off the wanderlust and learn a stretch of river like the back of my hand, or travel all over trying new spots?
Like watching your ultralight series and now your river smallies series! Keep up the great work. Have you tried swapping your treble hooks for singles?
Hey Ethan, Great stuff.... Question...What are you using for electronics? Looks like a Lowrance, but I cant tell for sure... Thanx buddy and good fishing...

Thank you Stuart! Glad you like them - more to come :)

That 20" will definitely take some time but that is okay with me :)
Some days are better than others but any day fishing is a good day!
Truth!
Glad to see a new video! I injured my shoulder and my doctor told me no fishing for at least a month😢 so I needed the cheering up 👀
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that - I hope you can get back to fishing soon.
@@FishAnything thank you very much!
The river is always a devious one.
Rivers are fun, but definitely challenging!

Heck yeah! Love to hear it :)

We will never stop learning - that is the fun part about fishing :)
Not going to lie I love all of you content! Tight lines God bless
You're the man, Caleb!
Great video can’t wait for tomorrow
You rock :)

Awesome! Yeah rivers are very complicated but that is why this challenge will be a fun one.
Loving this series!
Thank you!!
You got those lampreys running scared.

Happy you are excited! Looking forward to keeping this series going :)
Hello, great content! You and John have got me loving wadding creeks. Thank you❤🙏
Such a fun way to fish!!

Awesome! River fishing in Texas sounds like a blast! I hope to fish down there someday.

Good feedback - I might just have to do that :)
I can never figure out which is the best approach; t stave off the wanderlust and learn a stretch of river like the back of my hand, or travel all over trying new spots?
Honestly it is so hard for me to know. But I think you need to do a mixture of both to be honest.
Like watching your ultralight series and now your river smallies series! Keep up the great work. Have you tried swapping your treble hooks for singles?
I still have never tried singles but it is something I intend to try on ultralight jerkbaits at some point.
Hey Ethan, Great stuff.... Question...What are you using for electronics? Looks like a Lowrance, but I cant tell for sure... Thanx buddy and good fishing...
Thanks Robert! Lowrance Hook 2 5x. Pretty simple little graph but it does fine for what I need it for :)
When will your your lures be in stock
Most of them are! The ones that aren't yet are being worked on as we speak :)
Do you use a weight with the yum dinger
I have been fishing it on a weighted weedless jig, anywhere from 1/16oz to 3/16oz.
You might not have caught the 20” but the small mouth at 9 minutes in was nice
Yes it was! That 20 will show up when it is good and ready haha
What is the length of your fishing rods?
For bass, I typically stay in the 6'6 to 7'6 range.
What’s the spinning rod and real that you were using?
Ands what are the specs on the rod and size of the real
That was a 7'6 Daiwa Tatula Medium/Medium Light with a size 2500 Shimano Nasci.
One week of fish anything? Horray
Hope you enjoyed it :)
Bet ndyakangler has some secret tips
Honestly I need to fish with him haha
love your videos so much I can't wait to see you land your best the 20 I hope you do love and respect to you frome Paul in p.a I just shot my first intro video today on here you tube it would be an honor to have you as my subscriber if you do thank you with all my heart
Thank you Paul! Keep working hard - the subscribers will come if you are consistent.
Got me TFO ultralite 6-6 it’s great thanks
Awesome - hope you crush fish on it!
