How I Fish A Stretch Of River For Summer Smallmouth

- I spend the day chasing smallies on the river and share some tips and tricks I use to catch them. The methods I use here will catch fish from the time they finish spawning in early June here in MN through early October when the water cools and the fish move off the river into deeper water.
One of the things I love about your videos is the sounds of nature. Other people that have fishing videos have terrible music that ruins it.
Those summer sounds of the river sure are great! I have a half hour sound clip of nature’s symphony from a late summer day on the river that I’ll play on my home stereo every now and then during winter.
@@ndyakangler that would drive me crazy wanting to be on the river.. 😆
fisher mann...uhh, I think I might be one of those people... but then not everyone has such beautifully quiet rivers. I do agree with you tho, NDYA has some of the best videos!
I hate those videos with the music, super annoying LOL
I feel like I'm there with him in his videos! The birds, the wind, the water, the paddles moving through the water, everything!
You have no idea how blessed you are to have fishing spots like this. I often can’t wait to go to sleep just to dream of these places and wake up disappointed walking out of my house seeing oil pipelines everywhere. Protect these lands with everything you got
Amen brother, Amen.
@c fedyszyn At least dams are being removed in lots of places.

I bet he knows.
U sir are very misinformed. So how about u dont drive ur car smart guy
“Nature is my music.” Nothing like the sounds of summer on the water and the drive back in the evening with the windows open.
I've never cared for music while being outdoors. I guess I just like the sound of nature and I like to be aware of my surroundings. To each his own.
You nailed it brother.
Agreed. I float a lot of local creeks that also have other kayakers. It is a total downer to hear someone blasting away on a waterproof speaker.
Yup, once I know I'm close enough to start hearing them birds chirp and water flow I stop my music! The best fishing is where nature is all you hear...
Glad I'm not the only one who loves exactly what you just described. Makes life worth living
15:51 "For me, Nature is my music." Well said Matt! 👍🙂
This is what I believe sites like You Tube wanted to give a platform to those who truly are gifted who know how to entertain. So many channels try to force themselves on the viewer, within first 15 secs "Subscribe, Like, hit the bell", without ever really letting the viewer see their content. They need to watch you, Matt you have such a way about you that we all here are drawn to this channel. Like so many others, I could watch all day! Thanks!
Like the Bob Ross of fishing honestly. I could watch this all day
I do love pulling bass out of those happy little trees 😂
Titan Greer I just made the same assessment then saw this. Great minds. 👍🏻
I could watch all day too. I’m a fly fisherman so i normally go for fly fishing videos. But this guy is good. Very well done video.
What a beautiful river! And those predictable spots for the smallies to bite…their brutal fights in the clean water…how fortunate you are Matt living those fishing adventures on your kayak. A dream come true indeed. A most enjoyable video. Thank you very much from Spain (Europe).
Bob Ross of river kayak fishing - Mastery!
I just want to make a point here even though I know it's a late comment. I didn't even know you had a fish until I heard the splashing. Usually, you hear an oop, there's one and then obnoxious music starts blasting. I'm impressed, your fishing feels a lot like my own. I catch the fish, admire it, and let it go. You make great videos and you've earned yourself a sub.
When I caught my first “chunck” small mouth bass, I screamed in excitement that I’m sure others thought I was being murdered lol. The fight the small mouth bass puts up is incredible!
Love it how he’s so calm catching these fishes 😃👍
Brought back memories for me. Thank you very much. ✝️😊
I like how clean and clear this stretch of river looks.
Brother you know how to fish. Impressive... There is a major difference between a person wilho understands fish and 1 who just has Electronics. Kudos. 👍
loving this channel.no gimmick "$5 walmart fishing challenge" , pushing merch, no electric music and no nicknames for the fans.just fishing.
He did end up doing multiple vids (trying out Walmart Whopper plopper, crappie kit, etc) but even then... Leagues above most other fishing UA-camrs
You sir are truly the Bob Ross of fishing. I know it’s going to be a great video whenever I see one come up.
Literally the best smallmouth upload I’ve seen yet. Great length of video, great quality of fish in quantity, rarely seen in smallmouth vids
Smallmouth fight so much harder than Largemouth it's a blast catching them!
Jersey Joel Fishing....I totally agree... HARDEST fighting FW fish pound for pound!
Absolutely they do! I grew up in WA so we had both Largies and Smallies and Smallies were definitely more fun to real in! Largies generally just have more weight to them that they use against you which simulates better fights.
@@fishing4happiness610 I'll agree to disagree. Striper bass and peacock bass are probably the hardest fighting freshwater fish.
@@TheManhu01 ... I'll thumb 👍 your objection because for some odd reason all the Smallies that I have caught at Lake Texoma have been weak as hell for some reason.
@@TheManhu01 Well Stripers are huge compared to smallmouth and Peacock survive the Amazonian rivers. I really don't consider them as a comparison as they flourish in warm water as opposed to smallmouth in cold clear freshwater.
Best Smallmouth video on UA-cam. I really enjoy your videos
I can honestly say it took a while to figured it out where your area is, but I did. Just beautiful. Keep up the great videos man.
You use mono and don’t insist you need every color of every bait ever made to go fishing. One of the best fishing youtubers
"For me nature is my music" Said it like a true outdoorsman, much respect, recent subscriber and working my way on watching every video on your channel.
Very peaceful, watching your videos.........a few Budweisers don't hurt either.
I love you for putting your fingers in their mouth with the bait still in there. Adds a new level of excitement!
In all the years I’ve been doing this I’ve only been hooked dealing with a bass once. It’s the little ones that make me nervous, they twitch and flop quicker than I can react.
every time I get UA-cam, I see one of your vids, and its down the rabbit hole I go. I could watch all day long.
Every time i get binge watching NDYakAngler videos im ready to drop plans and head to the river i just wish the rivers i fished was like what you got there AMAZING just a normal day for you is like a bucket list day for most
Thank you very much for taking me fishing with you. Your video's are breath taking on that river, so peaceful and relaxing, Gods song's in the back ground. It doesn't get any better than this, I always have a disabled vet in my mine wanting to be out there. Your video's help make that possible, because I feel I'm right there in the boat with you. God Bless you, keep them coming! Glen AKA-"Rooster."
It's refreshing to watch your content. I don't have to listen to abusive language or hear the word "dude" a hundred times in twenty minute span. I have no smallmouth fishing in my area but with any luck I will find waters like the ones you fish before I take up the rocking chair!
Great videos!
Best channel on UA-cam. There’s nothing else I’d rather do than to catch smallies on the river
Yeah I’m looking forward to summer weather and long days on the river!
Yes Sir I hear ya . I haven’t been able to fish due to health problems so I live vicariously through your videos .
Just brilliant. All the superlatives have been used about your videos and all are deserved.
This guy from the other side of the world has learned a lot and even applied it to my local fish on my local waters.
Enjoyable video... Thanks for sharing. What's really nice is that these guys go right back where they were as if nothing happened. IT's also nice to see a location that is not just being pounded by anglers. Down where I am is just over run with people.
Like many other anglers comments here I'm impressed with your relaxed demeanor and description of the tackle. I have been kayak fishing an ocean Kayak, for about fifteen years. The Powell river in Virginia and lake Norris Tennessee are my usual haunts. Good video, good times... Thank you... I enjoy your excursions....👍🏻
I like how you break down the river. Thank you bro
Thanks Matt. It’s great to hear your thoughts as you fish the river. I will use your some of your tips next time I’m out. It has been a tough summer on my local river. The topwater bite has been nonexistent. Most productive lure has been a tube jig followed by a ned rig with a TRD. Slower fishing dragging along bottom. Its been a very hot summer. Hoping things will pick up in the fall as things cool down. Thanks again for the video
One of the other rivers I fish has been really tough this summer too. I don’t think I’ve even put up a video from there this year. This one never seems to let me down though.
Looks like a fantastic river for sure!
Your casting skill is amazing. And the way you handle the fish is awesome. Much Respect!!!!
couldn't agree more, very skilled.
No kidding!
Thanks!!!
I recently floated a stretch of river. We used two vehicles, but it was super fun. Lots of action on whopper ploppers. Some were on beds but not many. About 3/4 of the way through, I got a whopper plopper hook in my leg after a 19 incher went ballistic on the deck of the boat. An ER visit and a scar later, the hook was out. I watch this video every time I go out to fish a river. It really is helpful!
As always one of the best on UA-cam in my opinion. What a great thing to have that quality fishing relatively close. Always look forward to your posts. Keep em coming.
Andrew Snyder ... I've fished Smallies all my life and I'd have to agree... these vids are a gem!
I think every fish in that river has seen you up close and personal at least once or twice, another great 👍 👌 video.
You obviously had permission to launch where you did Lol. Those were some great smallies. That same method works for the river spotted bass we catch down south. Great video thanks 😎
That sign isn’t even there any more, but the portage sign on the other side of the fence is. It’s a listed access spot on DNR maps.
"Nature is my music". Right on!
Dude , you are the Yoda of small mouth fishing.
Always love these on Sunday after Church. You are like the Dalai Lama of river smallmouth. I see you've picked up about 1,500 new subscribers since I discovered you . You deserve it Bro.
Thanks Greg! My channel stats have been way up the last couple months compared to last year! I couldn’t ask for a better bunch of people to be here to support and motivate me!
Dude, thanks for being calm and cool while you fish, can't stand the people yelling and going crazy when it's like 1 pounder.
"Ah, got 'em, wow that's a pretty nice fish..."
Like the Bob Ross of fishing
FINALLY !!! some one that sounds like they know what they are talking about !!! THANK YOU
Great video with tips.. I hate videos with no good commentary and tips... You, lake fork guy and Scott Martin have the best commentary from what I've seen
19:32
"Should be something there...
OH yeah!!"
Gotta love the right-on-cue commentary! Excellent quality videos, sir. Cheers!
Watched a ton of these vids...... dude catching more big smallies in one trip than I catch in an entire season *subscribed*
love the simplicity in your videos! very relaxing.
this is the best guy to watch,,, he is awesome......his vision and waht you like to see when you"re fishing
wow that river looks soo clean and gorgeous. youre a really lucky guy to have such a retreat.
Another awesome video, thanks for all the tips. My son was very excited when he was heading back to UND for the school year on Friday from Milwaukee and he saw you driving down the highway outside of Fargo.
"nature is my music"
My thoughts, exactly.
"There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot"
-Aldo Leopold
All fishing videos I’ve seen enjoy yours The most and learn something on each one of them keep up the good fishing.
Another top quality video. Still amazed you only have 16k subscribers.
Make that 16,001. Actually as of today, it's 32,001. One would be me!
I've been looking for videos like this forever. No edits left an right.
Mosquitos always fly uphill for there nightly feeding so their trip home is downhill. Same goes for kayakers. I always laugh that all your videos will always have 1 dislike. Also I've been messing around with the Bitsy Bugs lately and the smallies love them. Thanks again for sharing.
"Nature is my music" love it.
Nice little river, smallies in current are awesome 👊
I love this video so much I always come back & watch it to get nostalgia of amazing river smallmouth fishing. This is what it’s all about & I will say you have perfected catching football bass lol. One question for you…what is your camera set up? I am currently looking to start making videos & Id love for them to turn out a lot like this. Keep making videos man & good luck on your fishing trips!!
Great video, very informative lots of good info, and most of all fun to watch, you make it look so easy
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen you catch a smallie that was less than 12”. Thanks for including that one as a confidence booster for the rest of us!
Good quality video. I had to sub. Really chill and no overhype kids screaming. thank you
so nice to see the other spectrum of river fishing vs my rocky mountain trout fishing! love the videos
I lived up there in the White Earth valley and we had some great wildlife in the area. Cold as heck during the winter but I did enjoy myself during the summer
Man I'm addicted to your videos. I watch all these big name fishing youtubers but man your content is great and your a damn good fisherman. Awesome man 🤙
I really enjoy your videos, I can tell you are very skilled at kayak fishing, but you sure live in a fisherman’s dream land, thanks for sharing
Very good comment, nature is your music. Nothing better!
That pac man produces my friend. I recently picked one up truly works. Awesome video all hail the smallmouth slayer. 🤘🏻
what a wonderful human being you are.
This guy knows his business....catching big smallies out of creeks and streams without getting hung every other cast and getting tangled by the fish or taken under a rock is quite an achievement.....
another winner video, nice. I pick up a few lil things every time. The fish you catch are IMMENSE, but i know you appreciate what you get to do very much, and don't take it for granted. Isn't it cool how the river maintains certain familiar fishy spots, yet always seems to change, especially after a big storm. Amazing places to enjoy in a kayak.
Thanks Tom! There’s one smallie that had a unique tail and scar I caught in the same spot three years in a row right at the start of September! They definitely have favorite spots to hang out!
Most underrated fishing youtuber around imo. Keep the vids coming dude you deserve success
Another great video. Who needs TV when you can watch this? Lol I have to hand it to you. I think you are the consummate smallie pro. From your boat positioning, to your accurate casts, your gear, and your total approach to fishing all I can do is salute your commitment. It has made me a better fisherman. Thanks for sharing!
Love the wacky worm mention. My fav all time artificial bait. Catches them anytime, anywhere.
This is one of your best videos. Bonus footage because of the length, and great didactic approach. Two thumbs up!
What a great video! I can’t believe how fast 30 minutes flew by! What a calm voice too! So relaxing! You just got a new subscriber! Well done!
You are much better than some millions subs fishing trees....👍 👍
I have been smallmouth fishing vicariously through you all summer! I'm a smallmouth and trout guy and my home waters here in NC have been muddy almost the whole season. I'm almost in DT's. I have managed to salvage the summer somewhat trout fishing and have caught some bruiser browns....the best one being 26". From one smallmouth guy to another....keep up the good work and keep posting.
another great trip man, some nice smallies
this is probably the best bronzeback fishing video i seen on youtube.. you sir have me as a subscriber. great job 👏
I’m a new subscriber, and really like your videos, feel inspired to get out there and fish again after a two year absence from the sport. Like the fact that you share your technics and fishing gear you use. Thanks
Good wholesome fishing videos. I love this channel.
I loved every second of this.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to some long summer days on the river again!
Hey ndyakangler, your videos inspired me to step into kayak fishing. I just ordered a bonafide and i cannot wait to be on the water for my first time! You rock dude!!
Great vid man. Your videos are therapeutic...scenery always good...quality fish...wish I was there.
Your casting and fishing all around is outstanding. great video!
First video not even two minutes in. Subscribed. Love it already.
My favorite one so far is a tie between your grandfather's lures and when you try out your mayfly wacky style rig... Love those
Thanks! Those are a couple of my favorites too!
Love your channel. Thanks for the tips!
It’s official… you must start a 24/7 fishing show😳. Don’t know how you’re going to fit the sleeping and eating in, but you’ll just have to figure it out 😏. Friggin love your channel brother! I’m addicted👍🏼👍🏼.
This is easily as good of a smallmouth video as I have watched...sound of rippling water, nature, and splashing smallies. Minimal, intelligent, and very informative commentary with real enthusiasm...nothing fake going on here including loud, ridiculous, and obnoxious music. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...UA-camrs that make & post fishing videos, take note, this is the gold standard of how it is done! Watch and learn...
Matt this video was hands down incredible! So informative and awesome catches! Nature is my music too. Another unreal video from you brother, you are the best! Keep the videos coming, I love learning from you, and I am sure there are plenty others that are learning a lot too!
Thanks Weston! You know it’s going to be a good day when you get a chunky smallmouth on topwater within five minutes of hitting the water! We might have to hit this stretch of river when you come up in a few weeks. The fishing is incredible there in September!
NDYakAngler Your so welcome Matt!! Yea that is a really good day when you start out the first 5 minutes with a huge chunk! Man you caught some nice fish in that video. They just slam that whopper plopper. That would be so awesome if we hit that stretch of river when I come up to fish in a few weeks, that would be epic! It’s going to be good in September brother!
Amen about "music" mess!! I leave if that mess starts. And, those $85,000 bass boats cannae fish there!!
Excellent Matt. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Craig! I’ve been hoping for those mayflies to come back out with the hot weather lately but I haven’t seen them again. I’ve seen them pop up as late as the end of August in the past though.
If you would've posted this one day ago I could've watched it before my 4 mile kayak trip down the Huron River for Smalleys. Funny how that works out, I picked up some hellgramite lures and had some luck, nothing to crazy like yours!
Thanks man!!
The Huron? I fished it for 13 years when I lived in Ann Arbor. It is a solid small mouth river, especially come August nights during the white miller hatch. Enjoy it!
Phillip Lopez oh I do man. I work at washtenaw community college and fish it every day after work. It's amazing.
Great video once again. I tackle them very much the same way. I swear we could swap footage... your rivers look so beautifully similar...I freaking love Smallies!
Such a calm video of fishing and beautiful sound of nature, Great video!
Just found your channel and I really appreciate the videos you put out! Thanks man.
I like to commentary as you fish the nooks and crannies. Thanks for the video.
Nature's my music, love this channel!!
I love the looks of the river you fish,,
