Small Mouth Bass @ Jordanelle

Wow, I can't believe I did not post this already. Actually been trying to get them edited and posted, 6 hours of video but I have condensed it down to 20 minutes. The day fishing was epic. We had double-figure catches before 8:30 am all smallmouth bass and some okay sized ones. Shifty started us off with two quick catches before the camera was set up. We talked with an angler at the dock who told where to go and what to use. He and his daughter had been out earlier in the week and caught near 50 total of rainbow trout and smallmouth bass using a lipless crankbait. So we followed him and his advise. We started catching immediately. He was using an spro lipless crankbait but we didn't have any of those so we matched pattern as much as we could and it worked.

Like I said Shifty started us off fast and we kept the momentum until about 10 am when the bite slowed considerably. We moved around and changed baits and presentations and started catching more fish. Shifty finally pulled in a small brown trout while trolling a crankbait, he actually caught three fish trolling crankbaits that morning. We had a great time on the water and watched some SUP'ers do yoga and were cracking up. They asked if we wanted to join and do headstands with them.....LOL. We fished until earlier afternoon and moved up into the bays and Shifty put on a purple grub and started catching some nice sized smallmouth bass. We finished with over 30 fish and Shifty caught the most and I ended up with the big fish of the day. I think Shifty had a couple larger but we didn't weight them.


The video can be found on our YouTube channel here. I hope you enjoy it we had a blast making it.
