It has been a challenge filming this year but we are getting it done. We filmed show 5 out of Woodstock, NB on Friday with our guest Steve Johnson from Saint John. Steve was kind enough to help the NBSFA fundraiser we did in the spring and won a fishing trip and we turned it into a show.
Steve is one of the few guys we have had on the show that preferred baitcasters to spinning gear so I rigged up a few combos for him. The one he used most of the day was a Shimano Compre 7′ ML paired with a Curado 200pg. I had this one set up for drop shotting which he had not done before. He wasn’t long getting the hang of it and put a bunch of fish in the boat. I switched back and forth between a dropshot and a Jackall Rerange 110 Jerkbait and caught a bunch on both...

We had a fun day yesterday fishing with Brian Gray from Miramichi Sport Fishing. No, we were not on the Miramichi chasing Stripers although Brian is all over them right now but we were up in one of our favourite places fishing for Smallmouth outside of Woodstock.
We caught our first fish within a couple of minutes of putting the boat in the water which is not too shabby. We had a double right in front of the town bridge before we headed out into the main river.
Brian hasn’t fished a lot of Smallmouth so I fixed him up with a bunch of different baits to try. His first fish came to the boat on a tube and then he started to try the other baits and caught fish on a dropshot, a Jackall ReRange 110 and a crankbait.
I gave him a mix of equipment to play with as well:
Shimano Intenza 7′ M, 2500 S...

I had the pleasure of fishing with Jake Thomas yesterday on the Saint John River in Woodstock, NB. He is a busy guy and I was lucky to talk him out of going to the office at Keller Williams and jumping in the boat with us.
We faced a very cloudy day and never caught a glimpse of the sun and we ended the day with a half hour of rain which we need but we did get wet.
I got the day started off with a tremendous 7 inch Smallmouth in the Keg and Jake quickly followed that up with one just over three pounds. He was going to make me work for big fish of the day. We picked up a few more fish in the Meduxnekeag and then headed out to the river and hit a half a dozen spots throughout the day...
