Fall Kayak Fishing The Little Miami River | Slow Start, Big Reward!
🎣 BIG Fish, Cold Morning | Fall Kayak Fishing on the Little Miami River 🍂
What a wild day on the Little Miami River! It was a brisk fall morning, and I had my longtime buddy Alex join me for his first-ever kayak fishing trip. Temps dipped into the 40s, but the bite heated up fast! From smallmouth bass to sauger (saugeye) and a massive freshwater drum, this float had it all.
🛶 Key Highlights:
Alex hooks into his first bass from a kayak
We get slammed by a giant drum (5.7 lbs!)
Rock formations, snakes, laughs, and solid river fish.
Whether you’re into fall fishing, looking for kayak fishing tips, or just love a good catch-and-release river adventure, you’ll enjoy this one.
📍 Location: Little Miami River, Ohio
🎣 Gear: Shimano Vanford 2000, Medium Light rod, braid-to-fluoro setup
🧊 Conditions: Early fall, cold snap in the low 40s
