Small Mouth Bass are my favorite Bass to target. Pound for pound, their fight Starts at that first slam of my lure, till I get them in the boat, or hand when I'm wading for them in the Ct River in Windsor Locks/ Suffield Ct. The explosive top water strikes, the enormous air shows. My Lord, there is nothing better then that. I do love my Large Mouths, but the pull of a Big River Small Mouth Bass will have me turning down trips with my Best Bud Mike Allen to one of the Best large Mouth Lakes on the Ct/Mass line, Congamond Lake. I've had many a great battle with my Large Mouths, but nothing like the Big Smallies on the CT River, or my 2nd Favorite Lake Rainbow Res, where both Large Mouth and Small mouth call their home.

Thank You for all you do. Here's to a new look and 2021. God Bless, and let's go fishing. ?

I Love my Small Mouth Bass, my main go too bait. 1/8 or 1/4 jig head with a 2 1/2" paddle tail on it...deadly!! I do love top water fishing too, I throw a whooper plopper, best top water bait since the jitterbug!

I've been so tied up, life gets in the way, but I never stopped fishing. Hopefully I can post up some good reports very soon. Just a small Sample of what me and my best Bud in the whole world Mike, have been up too.

Don't forget Blade baits, and my #1 choice suspending jerk baits. Long pauses between sweeping moves.

Thank God........ Look at those Bass, they are monsters!

Just a few. 7.2lb Large Mouth Bass. 38 1/2" Striper caught in the Ct River. 33 1/2" Atlantic salmon caught Ice out in May on Congamond Lake. No weights on the Striper and salmon, after a long battle I needed to get them back in the water to be caught again.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful Smallies!

Congrats, nice healthy smallie.

Wow................................. What a Hand full of Fat Bellied Smallies!! Congrats on a great day.

Outstanding Smallies! Congrats on a great day.

SAWEEEEEEET!!! Congrats on that Beautiful Smallmouth Bass. I bet she gave you a good fight.

MDRookie, Love it!! Plenty of storage, Ice cold drinks, and stable!!

Hi Hank, I have used the senko's, yes they work great, but no way do they hold up as well as the yum dingers do. I can catch way more Bass on one Yum dinger before it falls apart, the senko sometimes is falls apart on the first fish. But they do work, I'll give them that much.

Yep, I bought all the 3" Yum Dingers I could find, I maybe have 50 left, so I know what you mean Steveo!

Awesome, do you have more pictures of it, like start to finish building it? That is the Bomb!!!

I catch my first smallies every year on a 2" paddle tail on a 1/4oz football head jig. And, on the few I have left, I bought 300 after yum decided not to make the 3" yum dingers. A 3" yum dinger rigged weightless, baby bass color, on a wide gap hook, it's a killer. Wish Yum would bring the 3" yum dingers back, best Small mouth bait I've ever used.

That's what so awesome about these yaks, as stable as a boat. They are only 11' 34" long. You should see the wakes I ride when a Big Pontoon Boat goes zipping by. That's why I can catch Stripers on the River, standing up casting and fighting the fish and never worry about dumping it.

These are my rides, Wavewalk W500 and 2 W300. I sold the green W300 with the trolling motor with foot controlled steering the get another W500 so I could add an outboard and get rid of the batteries and be able to fish for as long as I want without running out of battery power, which lasted 6 hours with two wheel chair batteries placed down inside the hulls. Stable, fast, and add a Motor for long trips and rivers, yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa! I've been in a lot of conditions, caught in storms, and these babies roll with the punches. I've Caught LMB, SMB, Stripers, Pike......next up Carp, the submarines of the fresh water. Can't wait to go for that ride, the Stripers towed me all over the place toooo, it was Awesome!

I used the duct seal for my tranducer 2 years now. I just made a ring of it, place the transducer inside and add a little water. Bingo. Didn't try just pushing it down into a blob of it on the bottom of the haul. See that, I learned something new today. Say hello to my little friends. Skye, the G Shep doesn't fit in the haul anymore, but I modified a anarondack chair to take her with me. Then came Bud, he fits anywhere in my yak.

My Rides. WaveWalk W500 and W300. I've owned sit ins and SOTs, they were good. But the wavewalks are great stable fishing machine, like taking the shore with you. And they fit in my Kia Soul.

Nice deal. Not a bad price at all, you'll always have scratches on used yaks. I own 3 Wavewalk kayaks, 2 W500's one is set up to use my 2.2hp Merc, and a 1.2hp gamefisher outboard for long trips and fishing the Ct River. The last is a W300, the first yak they designed, and now discontinued after the W500s were designed. Love them love them love them, did I say I love them!! And sometimes you don't want to skimp on prices, best money I ever spent. Super stable and was the first true Stand up yak. That's why I now own 3. The one in my avatar, is the W300, it since has had a new paint job and looks pretty again. The one I'm pictured in below is the W500 with my outboard motor on it for fishing Stripers on the Ct River.

I've never tried senkos under a bobber,but I will give it a go next time I go out. Thanks for the tips, always looking for new ways to catch small mouth Bass.

Yep bassyaks make great kits. I have one on my wavewalk W300.

very nice set up on your canoe!! No worries of flipping that bad boy!! I have those same outriggers on my wavewalk yak with a 30lb thrust trolling motor.
