    Thumbs Up One of my better days for smallmouth!

    Great days have been few and far between for me this season. I only slightly blame the weather, it has been insanely off up here this year. But most of it is on me, just not adjusting or trying enough things. But this day, I think we did the right things in the right areas. Went up to Newfound Lake in the lakes region of New Hampshire, and found them right where we expected them to be. The bite shifted hard midday when what little breeze we had completely died off, and they switched from feeding off the bottom to feeding up, and we whacked 'em on the jerkbait to end the day.

    I don't like to post every video I make, just a select few I'm happiest with on how it came out. And I know only a few of you guys actually watch them, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. May seem silly or whatever, but it seriously means a lot to me. So thank you all again for that continued support. Tight lines guys, and hopefully those that watch it enjoy it!

    Tougher than hell to find them in August and September during the hottest temperatures (at least for me) but man oh man do I love this place. Fell in love with it 8 years ago when I first fished it, and have put in a ton of time trying to figure that place out ever since. At this point, I feel like I kind of know it now...kind of.

    Thanks Al! Nearly perfect, I think if we had ANY kind of wind in the afternoon, this would have been one of our best days ever. We got into some really good pre-spawn spots and had some truly big fish following our jerkbaits in the afternoon, but we just couldn't get them to commit to the bite. Probably mostly on us for not finding the right cadence, but it was also dead slick calm at that point of the day and that never helps.

    Nice! I’d love to wear jeans and a hoodie right now! These 95+ degree days have me chasing my tail a lot. I really want to get out of Florida and fish for smallmouth!

    You and me both, this video was from last month, we've been locked into some grossly humid weather here too.

    You ever make it up this way, give me a shout and I'd be happy to get you out for some smallies.

    Dude is my other best friend, has been since I was about 3 years old apparently. Force of habit + my brain shuts down during a fight = I say the same word a lot. And thank you for that last part. If I'm not giving off the vibe that I'm having the time of my life while I'm out there, then I'm not accomplishing my goal.

    You ever get up here, either I will get you out for some smallies, or I'll get you with the right people (also members here) that can get you on them!
