  • I take my kayak out on the river for some spring smallie action! It's late April, right around the time of year I start finding river bass willing to bite. Let's see if we can catch a few today!

      There’s just so many different variables it makes it easy to forget something. Different rods and gear for different fish, different kayaks and with the Hobie there’s detachable components I can’t forget. Half of the stuff I leave in my truck while half of it has to come out after each trip. I had my anchor stake sitting in one of the grooves on the bottom of my Tarpon which was sitting upside down in the garage so it’s easy to look right past it and forget if I switch it up and take the Hobie.

    Thanks for another great fishing adventure. I fish in a northern Wisconsin Vilas County lake. And it's similar to a lake you fish in. There is large mouth bass, pan fish, pike and musky and crappie. But no small mouth sad face, but I manage fine with catching large mouth. I just recently ordered a few top lures and can't wait to try a whopper plopper 75. I normally do fine wacky rigging the large mouth. And I also recently broke down and spent 200 on a Daiwa set up. Good luck to you fishing this season

    I think the rocks and concrete hold in heat from the sun rays and that's why the fish hold tight to it plus it's the perfect place to get out the current and ambush food. Great video any day the sun is out or the weather is nice is a great day to be on the water. For us diehard fisherman any day is a good day to be on the water my favorite time to drift the river for steelhead is in a blizzard because most of the time you have the river to yourself.
