River Fishing For Spring Smallies!

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!

Gear used on this trip:

I appreciate it when you catch a fish and don't scream and jump around like a fool like most other fishing YouTubers.

Love the stress free, laid back composure of all your vids. I get tired of vain and competitive channels trying to convince me of something or another. I just want to relax and catch the dumbest fish in the lake.

What a great way to start a Saturday morning in upstate South Carolina, watching my favorite YouTube angler catching his favorite fish, river small mouth bass. Thank you for sharing.

Just went wading for smallies in the Susquehanna on Monday. Caught 14 smallmouth and 1 big walleye. The fish are getting really active again!

I was going to go fishing this morning but it rained me out. Watching your video is the next best thing.

Love your videos! I refer to you as the Bob Ross of fisherman. I always watch your videos before bed cause it’s so relaxing. Keep it up man 🤙🏼

Rainy today where I am, and calling for strong storms later. Can't get out to go fishing. So, the next best thing. Watch your videos. Thanks for posting!

You make it look so effortless. A year of getting skunked in the Kayak, I finally got 3 smallies today. You're great keep doing your thing.

Just a dandy day to be on the water. The river conditions were spectacular and you found some willing participants. Had to spend the first half of the day laying down fresh mulch. This was a good choice to unwind for the end of the evening. Thanks Matt

"Sometimes you just have to say 'Please'..." LOL Love that, mate; another awesome video...!!! 😎

[Urotsukidoji]

just wanted to say, I used to watch about 20+ fishing channels on youtube, after filtering out the crap / boring / over hyped idiots, only you and 618 fishing remain. Keep it up my man.

Those smallmouth you caught are impressive. Nice size and thick too. Pretty fish 👍
