Fished a couple of times as a kid. Fished a bit with my boss at about 21. Fished rarely over the years. I’m 50 now and have been fishing all I can lately. It’s a good escape. Besides, I would rather grandkids remember me for taking them fishing than for grandpa was alway gone on his Harley. So I feel like I’m catching up. These videos teach me a lot.
Beautiful smallies and beautiful water! I don't have a boat myself but I do have a kayak and to be honest, during the warmer weather I'll take a day of wade fishing the creeks and rivers over a kayak almost always! Not much can beat a good day of fishing like that and that Zman craw and color that you're using kills it up here in central Ohio as well! Killer bait for sure! Subbed to the channel like what you have going on!
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and subscribing to the channel. And yes, I love some wade fishing here in southern West Virginia. hopefully it will be a good year.
Sir every since I have joined your channel I have enjoyed watching your videos. Sir I want you to know that I appreciat all you do and go through making your awesome fishing videos for us all to enjoy and learn from. Well sir till next's time GodBless and Tight Lines.
Well I waded a creek with my buddy labor day and he had a fluke tied on at first. I was catching more fish than him so I gave him the zman trd craw to try. He wound up catching more bass than me lol. I had the hot craw color on and he had the Canada craw color. I thought this color your using looked good too. Now I'm definitely gonna go get a pack to try.👊👍
I am a riverbank fisherman here in Fredericton New Brunswick Canada. I don't wade rivers here when they are very deep. We have the Saint John River here and the Nashwaak River that flows into the Saint John River. Smallmouth in rivers are great fighting fish
I’ve been doing pretty good on the little coal with the Canadian craw color of the craws. I throw mine Texas rigged on a #4 ewg with an eighth ounce tungsten weight. Catches everything in the river including trout lol
Man that’s a beautiful river, I’m closer to the Cheat. Big Sandy, WV none the less 😉. I ditched the hip waders a while back though, they’re a death trap if you’re not careful, especially in deeper waters. Glad I found ya!
Only reason for the hip waders is that I’ve got a skin condition. The waters I fish down here are pretty contaminated so I just do it for safety plus it keeps the briars weeds and sticks off my legs. But anyway i’m glad you did find me welcome to the channel. Hope you enjoy!
I like to fish it this way just get hung up a bunch at least in most of the places i fish. Have you tried it on a drop shot with like a 4" leader....Trying to go out as much as i can as im a bank fisherman and we have about 5-6 good weeks left before the weather turns.
I Grew up in southern WV. Have you looked into the New River fishing at Pipestem State Park? Ride the Tram down to the river and it's amazing river fishing.
Depends on the current. Whatever it allows me to do. I do twitch the craw. I just don’t bounce it off the bottom because if I did, I would stay hung up. If I was in a slower moving water, or a lake, you would see more hopping. Caught a bunch on the Z man craw all different colors. everybody’s got different ways. They fish things it’s whatever works for me.
To be quite honest with you I’m not sure. I think mine is medium 6 foot six. But I’m still trying to figure out what works best myself. I’m trying out different ones. Thank you and I appreciate it
Mostly in current. Let it drift. I would stay hung up if I constantly drug it on the bottom. It’s not gonna stay on the bottom anyways with that current. You reel craw crank baits straight in don’t ya? You don’t always have to have bottom contact. Maybe I’m different.
Well for one I don’t click bait. So many of them do. Thanks for the advice. The last thing people want is dead air and silence during the video. You have to keep the audience engaged into what you’re doing. If you think I talk a lot watch some other channels on RUclips. They all provide commentary.
Brings back wade fishing memories of pre kayak days. Great content. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome buddy thank you for watching. Appreciate it.
Right on. I love those trd craws! Also love Mule Fishing burro bug craw which has an even smaller profile

I’ve recently fallen in love with the CrawZ too, but I’ve been using the Mud Bug color. I know what color I’ll be getting next. Keep it up.

They like those z man micro finesse same color im in southwest va

You need to get the finese bullet rigs for the trd Crawl. They are the best jig set up for the crawz
Yeah I just got me some haven’t really tried them out yet but thanks for the feedback I appreciate it
Try the zman baby goat smallies love em

Thank you man I appreciate it! I hope you enjoy my channel!
Why do you crank a craw instead of hopping it to imitate a live craw
Depends on the current. Whatever it allows me to do. I do twitch the craw. I just don’t bounce it off the bottom because if I did, I would stay hung up. If I was in a slower moving water, or a lake, you would see more hopping. Caught a bunch on the Z man craw all different colors. everybody’s got different ways. They fish things it’s whatever works for me.
Very nice video. Thank you :)
What rod power would you recommend for this particular technique with the TRD Crawz?
Take care
To be quite honest with you I’m not sure. I think mine is medium 6 foot six. But I’m still trying to figure out what works best myself. I’m trying out different ones. Thank you and I appreciate it
You reel your craw non-stop? Never seen that before.
Mostly in current. Let it drift. I would stay hung up if I constantly drug it on the bottom. It’s not gonna stay on the bottom anyways with that current. You reel craw crank baits straight in don’t ya? You don’t always have to have bottom contact. Maybe I’m different.
Thanks.
What pound braid are you using ?

How is your channel blowing up you keep talking just hurry up and fish
Well for one I don’t click bait. So many of them do. Thanks for the advice. The last thing people want is dead air and silence during the video. You have to keep the audience engaged into what you’re doing. If you think I talk a lot watch some other channels on RUclips. They all provide commentary.
