Great trip! I wade long stretches of that river for smallies but not in some of the reach you appear to be. Its a blast! Thanks for aharing. No walleyes but I have caught nice saugeye by "accident" jigging for smallies.

Nice smallies you guys got. That was a nice rock bass you got. His northern hogsucker was a sweet catch. You looked like you lost some beasts out there. I too tried doing the long form video. We'll see what the results are. 👍

My favorite small river kayak rod is a 5’6” Ugly Stick ELite, Medium Light. Options for one piece or two piece rods. The two piece can fit into a backpack. It’s easier to handle fish from the kayak with a shorter 5’6”, and like your point with the power pole, the 6’5” and 7’ rods tend to hit tree branches when in the rod holder when you’re not careful.

@EngineeringHooksets Жыл бұрын

I just ordered a purpose built Ugly Stick kayak rod. It's 4', Medium action, only for sale in Europe. Couldn't find any 4' rods in the US so I had to bite the bullet and pay $45 shipping

I'm from Central Illinois. Originally, this has to be more upper Illinois. Everything where I lived was murky, and brown smallies weren't very prevalent either..

Can you explain or in the future make a video explaining how you would break the zip tie on a snagged anchor?

@EngineeringHooksets 3 ай бұрын

You just pull on it really hard. These small zipties have a breaking force of about 15 lbs

@justjoeoutdoors3499 Жыл бұрын

That just might be the same river I fished with Rivermantv, we floated once in December and I hit a 19" 😏 I've had some good luck in some other areas locally too.. caught a 21" a couple of weeks ago.. And i know another river that's just about as beautiful. And that was a neat tip with the anchor and zip tie.
