  • 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.

    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

    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!

    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.

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!

      Andrew Snyder ... I've fished Smallies all my life and I'd have to agree... these vids are a gem!

    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!

    I have been watching your videos the past few days (just subscribed) and it really has me wanting to buy a kayak! I have a bass boat now but, I know I'm missing some opportunities to get into some backwaters and rivers by not having a kayak.
    Videos and content are great! Keep it up!

    Maybe my fav vid you've ever done! :-) Love that stretch of river! Hv to live thru ur experiences for the nxt 10 months so keep up the great work bro!

    • @ndyakangler
      @ndyakangler  Před 6 lety

      Thanks Jim! I think that’s my favorite stretch of river! There’s a couple others that are close but it’s tough to beat the scenery and numbers of big fish on that stretch.

    Your videos are awesome! Your presentation and attitude are spot on. Keep doing what you doing. While our smallmouth down south are a little different...I'm learning a lot from your videos. I do a lot of what you do, small paddle powered boat and rivers. I think you would benefit from a front and rear anchor. When you are fishing upstream you could drop a front anchor when you hook up and not lose so much "ground" fighting and unhooking. While floating back down, a good drag chain anchor would slow you down and you could have more time to really pick apart every good spot. All the river I saw in this video would be very safe to anchor in. To all, when anchoring a boat in any current...paranoia is healthy!
    That advice and 2 cents still won't buy buy a cup of coffee!
    Keep them coming my friend.

      Thanks Derek! I actually have a Power Pole Micro Anchor mounted on the rear of my kayak. I had it with but I decided to not use it since most people don’t have one, plus this is pretty much how I fished for several years before I had it. It’s great for shallow stretches of river like this, I’ll drop it to stop when I hook up heading upstream and on my way back down I’ll drop it to stop and work any good looking spots.

    This is one of your best videos. Bonus footage because of the length, and great didactic approach. Two thumbs up!
