Enjoying your vids., low key approach and music bed/ volume. Encouraging u to experiment with your rigging, hook, weight options. Try going without the bobber stop, bullet weight and texposed hook. Try straight shank, threaded to expose hook and use Split Shot. Benefit is more flexibility as you move to various locations/ depths. Dont be afraid of fishing w exposed hook. As u experienced...ALWAYS b prepared for the take as u r " lifting" as u finish your retrieve for your next cast.

Thanks I appreciate the support🙏🏽✌🏽
Fun video! Top water blow ups are the best!
Definitely👍🏽 thanks for the support!
A topwater lure I've had good luck with on the Monocacy is the Heddon Torpedo.
I might have to get myself one of those.👍🏽
Love smallies, great scenic video on the Monacy river. Lots of the topwater misses I’ve noticed are the small guys
Lots of panfish smack those the second they hit the water. Under the trees I wonder if cicadas are falling
Thanks man. Yes lots of small fish kept trying to eat the top water. No hook ups unfortunately. Maybe next time.
As usual, beautiful footage. Love the Monocacy, but sure hate when the fish miss that topwater. Next time.
Thank you man. Yeah couldn’t catch that too water smallie, hopefully next time I can👍🏽
You were very close to my usual spot, and some decent topwater action! The spinner always performs in that stretch too, maybe I'll see you out there!
Thanks I appreciate the tip! I might just try the spinner there next time! Maybe I will see you there one day, make sure you say hi if you see me.
Nice catches! Saw you at the river this day.
Thank you. Was that you fishing upstream from me? Next time say hi👍🏽
That's a good day of fishing 👍 I should check it out sometime. The stretch I checked out was super shallow, so that's probably why there were no fish.
Yeah you have to walk a little to find the good spots
Great vid again man. Smallies are great! Been using the 2 inch hellgrammite.
Thanks man! I didn’t know they made 2 inch hellgrammites, I bet they work well.
@@Jonalexxx eurotackle. They are 1.8 and are magnets in the river for smallies.

Thank you! I appreciate the tips. I really should try out more exposed hook rigs, it gets hung up more, but hook up ratio should be better.
Just got my PB 2lb yesterday on swimjigs. Got 2 of them and not sure if it was the same fish lol. Wading out was about waist deep in some areas
Congrats on the PB! 2lb smallmouth is a very good fish in these rivers. Wading is really fun I really enjoy it.
