Dropshot Smallmouth - Keitechs and Live Crayfish
Northern Mike and I hit the Detroit River for some transitional smallmouth. We were in substantial current in about 14' of water. Sexy Shad Keitechs and live crayfish were the primary baits. Link to Northern Mikes channel right below.

Washington Island Smallmouth
Переглядів 7022 роки тому
I spent a week on Washington Island, WI with my family. I have been going there for 25 years now, every few years or so. I tried a variety of tactics in a variety of settings, but ultimately, the drop shot in 8-14 FOW was where I had the most luck.

Переглядів 4,9 тис.3 роки тому
In this video, Northern Mike (link to his YT Channel below) and I hit the Detroit River for a day of smallmouth, with appearances from some other species too. The primary approach was drop shotting with 1/2 oz weights paired with both live and artificial baits. The live bait was craws and the artificials included the 3" Tackle Hd Hi-Def Craw, the X-Zone Slammer, Kietech 3.8" swimbait, and the Y...

      I use 10 lb braid with typically a 10 lb fluorocarbon leader. Truthfully, the aluminum boat is probably more comfortable. I bought the canoe cuz I was limited on space in my garage. Good luck up there!!! 😎

    Male Pumpkinseed's used to be a staple in my aquariums. Over the years I've had 3, each lasted 7-8 years. I'd go to certain lakes where they were more prevalent than Bluegill, catch a bunch and pick out the most colorful male. One of the most aggressive fish I've had.

      @@discoverangling4892 I didn't either. He owned 1/3 of the tank. Some fish, including some aggressive South American fish like Oscars etc would challenge him and he would always win back his side. So I learned that aggressiveness trickles down from the fish we target down to the micro level of panfish. Bluegill are the same way, the biggest males will usually win.
