I didn’t know it until now but I’ve been tumbling for smallmouth when river fishing. The Key to success, as you say, is to cast well upstream of the cover or riffle you think the fish are focused on as their ambush spot. Often, in my experience, the bite is most likely going to be a soft pickup rather than a hard hit and run. Thanks Steve
It is definitely a soft pick up - I wish I would have remembered to add that. Thank you so much for doing so! You are 100% correct with that bite when doing this.
Nymph fishing for bass! I am a fly fisher also and that’s a great analogy.
First time I fly fished with a guide in Colorado many years ago, he really taught me a lot about doing this. He was so good at letting that fly just tumble along and he could sure catch them!
Elaborate on this nymph fishing you speak of.
@@timweakley6565 in fly fishing you allow a small insect pattern to drift at or near the bottom as if it has been dislodged from its safe place and is being helplessly carried by the current. This is a well known method among fly fishers but Steve compared it to the method in the video. Great comparison.
I love the underwater footage and always learn something watching your videos! Thank you Steve!
Glad you like them!
Thanks@@SteveRogersOutdoors
Thanks for all the great fishing information you continuously put out Steve your u tube channel is right up there at the top!🎣
I appreciate that!
This is a terrific breakdown, Steve. Thank you - this will come in handy out here in our western rivers in particular.
Glad it was helpful!
Great segment Steve. Thjs one I will put in the vault. no swift moving waters, or even smallies, around here. But it will come to mind when my travels take me to 'em.
You can also tumble kitechs😉😁
Most underrated channel
Thanks!
Tumble a small skirted jig with a small plastic bait.
So good. Can't wait to try it later this afternoon!
I hope it goes well for you!
That's a really great setup! I know of a few clay banks in my fisheries where that technique would work extremely well! The younger craw are starting to get about the right size to be the perfect bite-sized bass snacks!
I was amazed how many little craws there were. Apparently the bass thought they were perfect snacks!
So happy you had a great trip,.. we use this tumbling trick on river walleye as well...
The trip was a blast. It’s funny you mention that, because we caught some really nice walleyes doing this. They were mixed right in with the smallmouth.
@SteveRogersOutdoors over here in sd if you find smallmouth, most times you have walleye mixed with them.
Great video, I learn so much from this guy!
Thanks for watching!
What a great technique to try Steve. I have never seen anything like it. I guess I need to start embracing the wake boats when they go by and stir up the water. This might be the deal.
Those really big wakes can dislodge a lot of prey. Those super pusher barges on Kentucky Lake have been responsible for some fast and furious action.
Hey Steve you gotta get some Nori Shrimp Powder Dust like Taku puts on his Dice !- Taku should have his own channel on YT and call it TAKU- TUESDAY!!
I have heard about that and will have to try it. Thank you!
The forgotten tube / Stupid
tube is great for this technique
It is!
Hey, Steve, great to see ya. Pray u are safe and well. Great video and be safe
Thank you! Had a great trip and a wonderful weekend. I really enjoyed getting to watch a lot of football! Have a blessed week.
Great video and information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
As always Steve another great tip.
Thanks! It was a super fun trip. Never get tired of catching those smallies.
Great video Steve! What type and size hook was that?
It was a #2 ewg. Great question!
I was wondering if the you can use this rig for largemouth or spotted bass from the bank. In my home province here in South Africa we don't have smallmouth bass. I assume also that you cast it against the wind passed the target area to get a bite?
I works great for largemouth! And casting like you mentioned works really well too. Good luck!
I always start at the bank by flipping rocks until I see what color the crayfish are, then use a popper on braided line. I'll feed the line down stream as far as I can see it with a couple of pops each foot or so along the way then follow up with the bottom baits
That is an excellent approach. I will have to give that a try sometime. Thank you!
First comment? I’ll take that. Great video sir!
Thank you!
Steve, I have a question for you and your viewers. I spooled brand new yellow X9 and X5 then attached my flourocarbon line drove to Clayton fished the St.lawrence and couldn't catch hardly anything on the yellow line with 35 to 40 leader because I was fishing 40 to 60 foot of water and caught them on green braid and not yellow, but here is the kicker. I got home and was spooling line off a reel onto a baitcaster to transfer to another spinning reel and lord and behold. My flourocarbon leader was stained gold from the yellow braid, and I couldn't wipe it off. Has anyone noticed the new braid color powder transferring and permanently staining your leader?
It’s very interesting you mention that. I haven’t had it transfer to the leader, but my brother literally just mentioned last week he spooled some hi vis yellow on and noticed his hands had some of the dye on them.
Here in Illinois I fish the Fox River.. I’m always reluctant to keep lures on bottom due to the horrible silt… thoughts?
That is a great question. Being from Northern Illinois myself and not far from the Fox I am very aware of the silt issues you are referring to. Whenever possible I try to check those outside bends or seams to see if there happens to be any spot where there may be some rock that is kept clean of silt. In those spots this works great. But a trip to northern MN one time really changed my mind on how I would approach silt. One lake in particular had so many crayfish in the silt I couldn't believe it. You could literally see little trails they made walking through the silt and then when I would get near them, they would shimmy down into the silt and vanish. The area was packed with smallmouth. I never would have guessed because this same lake has tremendous rock in other areas. Ever since then, I tried to take the approach that a small craw-sized lure crawling through the silt and leaving little puff clouds may actually attract the attention of a curious bass more than I previously thought. I hope this makes sense and I described the situation I ran across clear enough. Let me know if not.
What size weight do you use for the leader? Especially in deeper water?
I try to stay around that 1/4oz weight, but will adjust up or down based on how easily it slides over the rocks. Great question!
Tumbling, hmmmmm ..... I'll have to give that a try next time conditions are right.
Good luck! One of my best experiences with this is when near wake boats or other similar situations that kick monster wakes, on lakes. They are a pain to fish around, but wow, do they dislodge critters from the rocks.
Why not just use a dropshot rig with shorter length? That way you can detect bites easier
You absolutely could. Thanks!
