River Fishing with Frank
United States
Приєднався 3 бер 2013
Join me as I fish the waters of Southern West Virginia. No boat, No kayak, just a pair of hip waders and a passion for fishing. I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned, experiences I’ve had, in hopes of encouraging others to start fishing. If you share that same passion, I would like to invite you to subscribe to the channel. See what it’s like chasing those big Smallmouth here in Southern West Virginia. I appreciate everyone’s support and thanks for watching!

THIS River is one of MY FAVORITE!
A tributary of the Ohio River, the Guyandotte is one of my favorite Rivers here in southern West Virginia, especially for the Smallmouth Bass.

Bouncing Back after a BAD DAY of Fishing!

As anglers we're all gonna have days where we don't perform well or the fish aren't biting. Be consistent, downsize or try different baits and colors to find out what they want. Summertime can be a challenge but don't ever let it get you down. Get back out there and try again, it's what I do! Music by OG PANDA BEATS: • [FREE NO COPYRIGHT BEAT 2024] "DIA...
THIS River was LOADED with Smallmouth!

Another great day on the Tug Fork River. The Smallies were liking the Hellgrammite but the Craw caught my biggest! Either way I had some fun and can't wait to do it again! Music from #inaudio: inaudio.org/Infraction-Alabama Rock
Catch MORE FISH by downsizing YOUR BAIT!
Переглядів 3 тис.21 день тому
It's been awhile since I've thrown the 3" black hellgrammite and boy did it payoff. Even though it was in the 90's we still got bites most all day. When fishing seems to get tough try downsizing your bait to get more bites. You may not always catch big ones, but at least you'll catch fish.

The Nikko Craw is hard to beat. This was my first time trying this color and man did it pay off. The bite was good before it got too hot. Anyway, I had some fun, just give the ole Nikko Craw a try and I'm sure it'll pay off for you too. It's one of my favorite baits!

Hey Frank, new subscriber here and a WV native as well from northern part of the state. Is public access an issue on the rivers you fish? I’d be concerned about finding a place to park mor3 than anything. What’s your personal best smallmouth? Most of what I’ve caught are 12 inches or less, but still loads of fun. I caught an 18 inch and probably 3 pounds more or less, but it felt much bigger while bringing it in.
@@user-wn5dd1so8g access is not a problem for me. as far as weight, my personal best is 5 lbs. 1 oz. two years ago. Last year I caught one 4 lbs. 15 oz. last spring. both 20+ inches. already caught two trophies this year 4 pounds even, and one 3 lbs. 15 oz. Check out my videos and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Central Georgia has been hot as well with little rain until yesterday. No big fish lately but did catch a 1 pounder on the walk back to the car. So, you ain't the only one !
I was out Sat and nothing was hitting the normal stuff. I switched up to a Nikko Natural Helgramite with no weight on a #4 hook. It sank about 3" below the surface and I slayed them. Had to fish super slow. Finesse fishing at it's finest worked this weekend. This morning a 1/10 oz weedless ned rig with a TRD got me 6. But yea, it is SUPER tough right now.
Love the scenery ! Was in Welch from Th-Sunday and around to Pineville and Oceana watching the water levels but not able to get in one and try them out. Water level is crazy for y’all ! Tight lines and keep em coming.
@@charlesmartin7082 thanks for watching buddy. I appreciate it
@@riverfishingwithfrank Was watching for you as we traveled around but saw no one fishing. Found that odd.
Great video! Lots of catches with that hellgrammite 😮❤
@@user-wl4qs8xl3r thanks man. I appreciate you watching.
@@riverfishingwithfrank of course’
You don’t need a measure board for wade fishing. Try using a roll up measuring tape which is lightweight and takes up very little space. Too much useless equipment is not worth carrying. Just saying!
I like to have the official length. The ketch boards are light and don't add much weight at all
@@wallacebell4311 i’ve lost so many tape measures you wouldn’t believe it lol
NJ guy here........struggling as well!
@@ronyeahright9536 I hear ya!
Yard I live near the Tennessee river in Alabama it’s been bad! Usually 30 catfish last 2 trips we caught 4 😆
First light only chance
Western NY is pretty much on fire year round...been catching largemouth nonstop since April pretty much.
@@matthewcrone4081 that’s good to hear. I’m glad somebody’s catching them lol
Hey Frank, do you do any night fishing, seems like they are active at night.
@@joyrider8882 not really. It’s been a while
crawdads, easier to feed them than it is to trick them. summer fishing is always tough
I don't do heat waves. At your age, neither should you.
It’s almost time for the top water bite to pick up and also catalpa worms are about to show up 😊
@@MattDixx I hear ya
Fished a pay pond last night for money but I lost . I caught a Cpl 18lbers . Struggling in rivers and lakes though
Rarely do I get skunked think depends where you fish, weather, how many people fish those areas etc
@@chriswalls5831 very true
Slow days, but still enjoyed it. Thanks
@@sungcha3563 thank you for watching. I appreciate it!
Here in south central Kentucky has been poor as well. I’m going to rig up a few drop shot rigs and look for deeper water.
My favorite time of year here in WA. The night bite has been fire! Heading out tonight at 11 and will fish until 8 am.
@@alanrasmussen4097 that’s probably what I’m gonna have to start doing.
The dog days of summer are tough. They have a lot to eat and feed in small windows. Low water doesn't help at all either. Keep grinding though I enjoy watching!
Downsize your tackle and think finesse. I have been catching them on ultralight lures with some success.
