  • The summertime can be very productive or you can go out and catch a skunk fairly easily. I will be honest my summer has been slow with the Hocking River being high most of the summer. After my trip on the Susquehanna, I came back with a technique that the winner Nolan Minor had used on low and clear river smallies. The Evergreen Gizmo is a very interesting topwater lure and delivered a ton of fun in a small creek here in Ohio. Nolans Channel is linked below and you can see how effective this little bait was at catching trophy smallmouth during the Hobie event.

    I have to say brother that’s one of the biggest creek chubs I’ve ever seen and when you said he was in Derby Creek I fish derby creek a lot big Derby Lil Darby. I finish them all over even the Hocking river has seen a couple of your videos were use your hockey River. I’ve lost numerous numerous videos of years over and over and over but keep it up man keep doing what you’re doing. Keep up the good work, and I love your videos. I just ordered my kayak tonight so I will pick it up tomorrow and hopefully I’ll get out there on the water a lot more.
