π₯100 Fish Day! Kayak Smallmouth on the Susquehanna River!! π£
Folks at home, folks at home!
This was one of those special days on the water β an absolute pre-spawn smashfest on the upper Susquehanna River!
I took Vegas the Hammer out in the kayaks to chase some pre-spawn smallmouth, and right away we found βem stacked up at the mouth of a creek. Water temps were hovering in the upper 40s, but the air hit 80 β and when that sun popped, the bite exploded.
This was the maiden voyage of my Wilderness Systems Tactical Pro 128, powered by the Newport NK300, and it handled that Susky current like a dream. Vegas ran the NK180 Pro on his rig and was in full hammer mode from the jump.
We caught a pile of smallmouth on jigs, microjigs, and other finesse gear β but the action was anything but finesse. It was so goodβ¦ I made camera guy Charles put down the camera and fish β and he ended up catching his PB smallmouth bag!
Huge shoutout to Andy Chiu from Grateful Guides for running the camera boat and helping us get every second of the action.
This videoβs got it all:
π£ River smallmouth fishing
π£ββοΈ Tactical kayak setups
π₯ Pre-spawn madness
π Father-son doubles
πΈ Behind-the-scenes chaos
Trust me β you donβt want to miss this one.
Cβmon, letβs go!
