Did you put together that video @Darnold335?  That is an awesome video with the drone footage.  That is seriously shallow, treacherous water.  Love those swift river smallmouths though, they are bulldogs.

No I did not and it’s not me it’s a local guide. Just for references purposes. The smallies jn that river are built though!

I bought a kayak to float the smaller rivers around where we live but I ended up using it full time for about two years while my old bass boat was down. I enjoy fishing out of either just as much.

Some key Kayak advantages: Super stealth, can fish the skinniest of water, no registration fees or hassle, can fit as a car topper or in a truck bed, a very eco friendly option, almost zero maintenance cost, etc.
