- Kayak fishing for topwater smallmouth bass! On this trip I'm throwing one of my favorite lures for smallies late September/early October when the topwater bite is just about done for the year, the Heddon Super Spook Jr.

There's nothing like a ndyakangler video drop on a Sunday morning baby :)
I couldn’t agree more my favorite videos I usually wait to have a nice meal and watch it
Summary of life in 2022
I know you like the spooks but I'm not sure I've ever seen you fishing the torpedo
this channel got to be the most relaxing thing ever
He is Bob Ross the Fisherman
Fleming Yachts is the most relaxing that I have found, but this is a close second.
13:30 - anyone else notice those big boys swimming to the left of the kayak? Beautiful stuff. These videos have that Bob Ross chill.
yes was just going to mention that..i think its a carp
Oh snap NDYak is back. Brings a smile to my face each time I see a new video posted.
Just what I needed on this rainy Sunday morning at work! Awesome video man!
Hasn’t rained her in North Texas for weeks! Praying for rain ☔️
We had a drought all summer. No rain. All the water levels dropped about 3 feet. Most ponds were literally unfishable all summer. It sucked.
@@SPFLDAngler,
I think Ray Roberts fell more than that. 100 or more most of the Summer.
get to work
Dude this looks so fun!
Love that Spook! Matt, if you can find a minute, re-watch the footage between 13:31 and 13:42 at maybe half-speed. (You're just starting to pass under the bridge you encounter near the end of the video.) Look down into the water next to your kayak at about the 10 o'clock position Unless I'm hallucinating, a succession of LARGE fish swim past you, headed downstream perhaps 2' under the surface. They appear to be thick-bodied, with broad tails. Are these likely big carp? If not what could they be? I about had a heart attack when I saw them! All the best, Chris
I saw that too! They looked like monsters to me :)
Scrolled down to find this. It looked like 3 big fish.
look like carp
@@Hopeartist a lot more than 3 big fish.
Glad i wasn’t the only one that noticed!
I have to share, you're a real role model for anglers and potential anglers alike. What really gets me is when you hook into a nice fish, we can really tell it gets your adrenaline going, your hands are shaking, you can hear it in your voice... it's the same way I get about bow hunting whitetail deer. It's special and I wish more people could experience it. I truly respect you man
I've hooked into more big fish than I can count over the years and they still get my heart racing every time I catch a nice one!
Your fishing content is as good as it gets.
SKI POLING THROUGH THE SHALLOWS... why haven't I thought of that before??? Yet another tip I've gotten from your channel. I'm up over 20 or so now, I think.
Smashing, topwater and smallies are like my 3 favorite things!
lmao
I see what u did there sir!
So cool! I like how you stick to one bait and still smash them.
Yeah I woulda changed lures 59 times
Notice how slick he is with the net. Once he nets the fish, he puts the handle under his left knee to keep it there and free both hands to unhook and measure. Pro.
Matt you never disappoint us with your video great job! Hope your family is doing good!
Your vision for a cast is very enjoyable. Thanks.
Smallmouth fight so well for their size it’s incredible, and they strike hard!
Another good outing. Blessed with abundant smallmouth fisheries
A nice day ☺️. Bummer about the plyers. Good idea to carry a magnet and some string. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Absolutely enjoyed your trek for smallies with the "spook". It never disappoints watching a smallie just smash that topwater. Keep up the great content and be safe out there!
Look at the fish in the water at 13:38 I love seeing that
Fishing vicariously through you, never gets old ... cheers!
Good to see that all the hard work you did to get to that spot paid off! Another great video!
This lure, in this colour, is a killer!
Key advantage to the kayak. Being able to go wherever the hell you want, pretty much! I use that ski pole technique so often!
Super spook Jr. (Bone pattern) is my go to topwater lure! I've caught many pike and bass while fishing it over weed beds, rock and other shallow structure. It's walk the dog action gets them biting when other topwater lures don't. Love the videos! Cheers from Ontario, Canada. 🍻
I love your videos! You have made me a better fisherman :) thank you!
Same
That cast at 8:05 was amazing. One of those cast that deserve to catch a nice fish.
Matt does this all the time. He's an assassin with a baitcaster. Just a joy to watch and learn from.
I noticed that one too 😅 I was thinking how I’d be stuck in that spot for 20 mins trying to get unhung from the trees
That intro reminded me of so many of my trips into the Wisconsin River backwaters. Always a great time when you’re skiing!
nice vid. I love the zara puppy in a frog pattern, think it's also a Heddon product. amazing how sometimes that lure can sit there for several seconds after you cast and all of a sudden, bang. I've also found that the shade is the preferred "side" for smallies. love your content, never miss an episode. thank you.
Fishing the Potomac and some smaller rivers in Maryland, I don't have much luck with the Spook Jr., but the smallmouth LOVE the frog-pattern Zara Puppy.
The last reservoir downstream from there was amazing fishing last weekend.
I love smallie videos! Especially topwater. Also would love to see one again where you do the Paddletail on a jig head and just catch a couple dozen of them!
Some of my best fish have come on that lure. Another great video man, catch ya on the next one!👍
The spider: save me! The smallies are coming!
Ndyakangler: NOPE!
Plenty of branches for me to get stuck on! Thanks for taking us on your adventure and sharing!
I love how you just pull slab after slab and are so calm.. I'll just (precision casting) place this right here.... BIG FISH...
Finally a "Tank." It has been a summer of "Quality" fish! Really enjoy your channel.
13:38 a couple swim right by! Great video as always
Whenever I feel like fishing, I just watch ndyak because I will always catch something.
Truly want to go fishing right now, and I havent even started watching this video!
13:35 look at those fish swimming right past you!
I saw that, looked sizeable too!
What a nice trek!! Thanks for the visuals!
Something about the noise of the spook underneath the bridge I found really satisfying.
I’ll have to hit that spot right before freeze up. I bet those bridge pillars will be holding some fish then!
Killin the smallies as always
Not only great football games today but also an awesome video drop haha awesome!
19" River Smallies. Awesome.
splitting your paddle and using it to ski yourself is something ive never thought of and am kicking myself for now! GENIUS!
Always look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos
Nice cinematography under the bridge strike.
Excellent video. Always watch your videos as soon as I can. Again, thank you for sharing.
Damn, under the left of the kayak at 13:40 what were those? Looked big.
Could be bass altho carp size..
You've inspired me to catch smallmouth and my my caught my first 2 smallies and had a blast fighting them. My new favorite fish. That and pike.
13:35 when you stopped the spook because something followed it off the rocks, you can see 3 decent size fish swim right past.
Great video though!
They were carp, I’m thinking I spooked one and that’s the swirl I saw by my lure.
I have watched all of your videos. I can't wait for a new video to come out each time.
As expected I found this new episode of NDYakAngler on Sunday as the expected hour (4:00 pm Spanish summer time). I postponed watching it due to a big amount of work and decided I would treat myself to it after my work was finished as some sort of reward before going to bed. As always an excellent reward to gaze those gorgeous wild paradises and fish them riding a kayak. One more fishing dream provided to us viewers by our good friend Matt.
I’ve been enjoying your fishing, with out blaring music in the background, thank you Christine,from New Zealand
Nothing better than top water smallies
You can get those locking pliers from Reddington Tackle, a trout store.
The best fishing vid channel I've ever seen glad I found and subscribed. Big smallies are hitting here now in va newriver spinner baits .
I look forward to my Sunday morning ndyakangler video!
I got a couple of those spooks. They have become my go to for top water . Absolutely amazing and not sure why they like that color but they do!
The bass and trout that normally live in the stream near my home seem to be heading down stream toward the bigger river. I've been following them the last week. I'm still get some nice sized fish, and a ton of good sized panfish. I hope you had a good time getting those beautiful smallies. Tightlines and God bless.
13:40 you can see two big fish swim right past the kayak! Crazy!!
I'd be afraid of finding my way back in a maze like that!!
Under bridges and against the abutments are great places to find bass, and other species of fish. Some of my great successes fishing are casting under a bridge against the abutments.
Ndyak! Good morning brother! Top water action!
The epitome of someone saying ;” man we have fun when we kayak 😅 4:30
3:44 I was doing the same thing in my kayak at the creek by my house! Gotta do what you gotta do lol.
Another quality day on the river.
When nd posts I know it’s going to be awesome!
At 13:40, 2 big fish swim down the left side of your kayak, between your rod and paddle. Could not tell what they were. Every day you can fish, is a good day.
Those were carp.
Nice to see the spook make an appearance. You've caught so many smallies on it over the years.
Fantastic fishing as usual! Not sure if it would work for you this time of year, but you should try a recoil-type rig sometime. Keep seeing them all over the web and would love to hear what you think.
What up man..you know I never thought I’d be catching these mystic river smallies myself I moved up to upper Wis / Mi like two hrs from Duluth from fl. and I love catching smallies and pike I haven’t caught a musky yet but I’m sure I’ll hook up soon enough ..oh and that last fish under the bridge was a beaut..❤️🎣🇺🇸
Just watched the Kyogre video again in demand of a new video and right when I am done, this appears. Thanks!
And that's why I wear the vest whenever possible - to stow all the small non-buoyant stuff that tends to drop in the water. :)
Never disappoints. Almost the next best thing to actually being out there fishing myself. Almost that is.
I don't know why I keep watching your videos, its pretty much like torture knowing I will never be able to catch fish like this....
Thanks for all of the content, keep it coming man!
Best fishing show on the web, bar none!
I wait for this every weekend
Love the videos and the Lego chewy t shirt!
I’ve been saying! One of the best sticks on TH-cam.
Love the ski polling! Another great vid. I really like how you show the cast and where the lure hits. So many do not!
Got skunked my last day out...these help motivate me to go back. Thanks for the Sunday post.
Enjoyed your video as a usual, thank you for sharing.
What a gorgeous place to fish! And, as always, a nice, relaxing video :)
NDYak you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
@ 13:38 to 13:42 look at end of paddle looks like something was coming for your bait. Good video.
Awesome video, you make me want to leave work and go hit the Potomac River and hook into some Smallies!!
I fish multiple times a week. For some reason I get anxiety watching you take the hooks out. Thanks for the videos
I am amazed he doesn't get hooks in him!!
these videos are addicting
I like that you regularly measure the fish. And your respect in handling the fish with relatively quick release. But, in considering the sizes of the fish, I wish you’d weigh the fish more often, since the length of the fish can be common among them but the girths of the fish can vary so much and contribute to large size differences. Just a thought. Great fishing you provide us with. Thank you!!
The bigger fish here were probably all 3-4lbs, pretty average for this river. I usually only dig out the scale if I catch something I think might be 5 or bigger.
This is such an exciting way to start a video, great suspense and straight to work
The fish swimming near the kayak at 13:30 was cool
Your batting 1000 when it comes to casting accuracy, I'd be in the trees 😂😂😂
Amen to that 😆🤣😂
@@earlshannon1048 and Matt,
He is on par with Kevin!
The smallie whisperer!
8:48
good to know its not jus me that has Arachnophobia lol 😂😂
13:38
right in the middle of the screen a few huge fish swam right by you..
there was defintely 3 but there may have been more... how did you not see them lol
that was an excellent outing , the smallies you caught had preggo-like bellies...
they musta been feeding good...
thx for bringin me along once again..

13:29 Nice school of fish going by! I counted at least 9 different fish.
The bridge small mouth was awesome colors. Beautiful fish
You shuffling through those barely wet reeds was really funny... thanks
