​​@@RiverCertified that's definitely the reason I relate. I can see the kid in you that comes out in me when I rip a lip. Panfish, bass, channels, walleye, striped ones, and real cats ,you don't put all your eggs in one basket and I can't do it either.

YES!! More small streams and kayak fishing!! There are a thousand fishing shows where they fish the open Waters and big Rivers, but not everyone has acces (a boat) to them, but almost everyone has a small stream nearby that they can kayak and catch fish on. the big open rivers and reservoirs, one show starts to look like another.

Do it man. Poking around on the small water is a good time.

I agree about channels. Not my favorite fish to catch, but when a 10-12 lb cat grabs your Texas rig or crank bait, the fight is definitely on! Lots of fun

@RiverCertified

14 күн бұрын

Oh man, when the smack a crankbait it's like they have a running start most of the time.

That is a nice peaceful creek with some nice nature sounds. Lakes where I fish are full of houses and tons of boat traffic, so all you hear is motors and leaf blowers all day.

Man I love the creek and river treks but make sure you stay strapped up. There are a lot of bad people out there that will try to rob you blind and leave you for dead out in those woods. So just be safe and if it's legal make sure you have some heat!

I really enjoyed this video Spencer. I just recently lost my brother who was extremely close to me. And we used to make it a tradition to fish together at least every weekend for Channel Cats and Carp. Most of what we fished were back creeks or creeks that would feed right into the Potomac River. Had many awesome trips together and will always treasure those memories. Today's video really looked like some of the creeks we would bank fish from. I'd love to tell you more but don't want to sound more long winded than I probably already have. Thank you for the great bank fishing video and best of luck to you in all your fishing adventures.

I started watching because of small river vids. I hope ya keep doing a few cause it's like home to me and how I fished w/ my Dad so many times.

Love the bank fishing vids! Classic river certified stuff. Gets me pumped for my channel cat tournament this weekend!

Most of those would be pretty damn big for the lake I live by. And I'm a shore fisherman for the most part. Top notch as always brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

Great video, I fish in W central Ohio, we have a river and a few creeks that I fish routinely, my favorite time of the year is spring, bobber and jig and even live bait, nothing like hooking into the 2-3 lb channel when you are crappie fishing with 4lb line and #4 hook 9ft rod, its a blast and i get as giddy as a kid, love your video brother

I think I've hit the point to where I am done fishing with lures on these small trips I go on. I'm going to switch to bobber fishing. There are endless choices of things to put on a hook to try to catch a fish. Not to mention the secerenity of watching a bobber over there and getting to watch fisherman do all kinds of tricks while putting their boats in the water over there.
