Glad you felt the same way I do when I’m on the water with Ryan. And to have a caveman with us…just the perfect day!

Thanks my homie! Always learn a to. When I’m in the water with Ryan. This trip he also tight us about Ozark lobster!

@@marcburrows5783 on it! Maybe a musky video next? Maybe a smallmouth video next. Whatcha think?

Best freshwater fish in the planet. What’s your PB? I’m still hunting the 20”

@ i was lucky enough to stick a 21” right around 5lbs

Welcome! Skyline chili and Mad River Outfitters?

@ Gold Star Chili and Little Miami River Outfitter!!! Lol

@@MattsFishinMission love it!

Awesome! Enjoy and tell your friends!

Thanks for checking out the channel and subscribing! Where’s home waters for you?

​@@fishhandsfrankyI am in Northwest Missouri, 35 miles north of Kansas City. Just north of Smithville Lake.

Awesome! Tell your friends!

@@Wlgarcia653 the evidence speaks for itself.

Horse feathers. I still put down some super splatty casts, from time to time 😝

@ horse feathers. Classic caveman comment.

@@DCOutdoors ABC baby! Always be casting. I’m lucky to have friends and family that support this addiction and my interest to share these adventures with you guys. Surround yourself with folks that raise you up and support your dreams!

@@athanasiossclavos2760 gotta keep the vibes high even if you’re struggling to execute! Sure is an amazing spot and target rich environment.

@@edMerican you gotta get that bread

@@athanasiossclavos2760 amazing spot! Thanks for checking out the channel. Headed back next year?

@ yeah I was wondering when that spot is usually on. Plus I’m wondering what to toss. I saw you threw crab patterns I gotta tie some of those up. I’m def going back next year god willing

@ I think anything that resembles the dark maroon and tan colors of the local crabs will work. Kismet has a great selection of flies as well. I’m convinced if the presentation off the drops is right, they’ll eat anything.

Man, I wish I was there too! Been raining cold here in MO for the past three days. This fishery is pretty remote and a full commit to stay on island. But very worth it. The Striper populations are always at risk. So for all my Canadian friends if you visit, treat the fish well and please C&R.

What an adventure! Next stop Mexico. Will I have the same luck?

There are a lot of combos! I just ordered the materials and there were four or five like colors. I like the burnt orange, root beer blend. Anything in that range seems to match the color of the crustaceans locally.

My man, thank you. I love these places. I want to share them with the folks I care about. I’m lucky to have close friends in so many amazing destinations. Glad I got a good fish on this trip!

@@dawnfirephotography how bout it! Hope to visit it next time. Follow on instagram. I’ll be back in April!

Big cat fish in the fly? No way!

@ I wish but I use cut shad😅

Thanks DC! I was stoked to have a day on the water with my buddy Marc. And to fight a bunch of blue meanies was cool. I also figured out how to get my fly in the zone. More to come on the next episode with the fly rod!

Thanks for TUNING in!

Lobstah trap!

That’s super cool! What a proud moment. I’ve got more videos with Striper coming out soon! Marc doesn’t guide but he’s tagged on my instagram story. He’s a great friend and really knows the island. He’s been generous with sharing his insights.

Ideally you’d have both with you. Thats your official thumbs up to buy new gear lol. If I had to choose I would go with the intermediate line. Getting down faster in the surf will catch more fish - unless they are busting on top and you’re throwing top water stuff. You can always give Kismet Outfitters or Coop’s a call and see what they recommend for fly choice and go from there. I throw an intermediate line with a micro streamer (dumbbell eyes) for Striper in the summer.

10 and 12 wt’s. Chippewa River Customs makes a great musky rod at a reasonable price. While you can fight a musky on an 8wt, throwing these flies all day would prove exhausting on an 8wt. That said, if you downsize the flies - throw more smallmouth sized minnow patterns, you may be fine. Remember the bite wire in your leader setup!

@@TheAjeads solid advice right there

@@TheAjeads the one and only

@@flyfishingphotoproject I know, life is insane! Let’s go freesh

I’ve already received a complaint letter from his office lol

I wish I was!! I’m heading to Louisiana in a month or so for red fish for a friend’s birthday. Catch me up!

@@thomasharrison72 all about confidence flies I think. I love the Murdich Minnow for example. Small profile. Huge bites!!

Those suckers were fast as lightening lol

@@OzarksSmallmouthAlliance captain Caaaaaveeeeemaaaaan! Thanks for checking g out the video! What do you think about the mounting position? No pun intended of course.

Haha! We had the googles. Glad you found the video useful. Vibes are high on the raft ever since we installed!

One rod holder in the package. Purchased two so we have an extra rod for the front and rear anglers!

@@flyfishingphotoproject well we did use a Home Depot bucket to hold the tarp down so….

New related video about installing the RiverSmith Swiftcast Rod Holders on the RR.

One session at a time right? Shout out to AJ and Sarah for guidance.

My only regret from the trip! We had the whole family with us and I ran out of time. Heard great things about out it!

@@fatsndinksfishin9815 so far so good lol

Model is XPD 5418 Power Drifter. 54 stands for width in inches. 18 stands for the length in feet.

Nick is one of the tiers for Musky Fool. His stuff I believe comes up on special release cycles. Their selection in stock and on their website is really good. If you need something specific call the shop and talk to Dan. www.muskyfool.com Tell them you watched the film!
