We had the pleasure of fishing with Chris Brown for this show. In the photos are his first Smallmouth Bass, first Chain Pickerel and first Largemouth Bass. It was a warm, breezy, bluebird sky kind of day and the fish made us work hard for our bites. We mixed it up quite a bit with baits and presentations and Chris settled on an underspin Jackall Rhythm Wave swimbait on a 7″ Zodias with a 2500 Sahara reel and 20 lb Power Pro for a big chunk of the afternoon. I tried everything but the kitchen sink. As always on these unmarked lakes our Lowrance HDS Live helped us navigate through the rock minefield with saved trails and GPS marked rocks.

I can sure pick some great days to film on. We hit the water this morning with Amanda from the Minnow Tackle Shop in Fredericton. Our forecast west wind for the morning was straight out of the north and stayed that way all day and built in intensity to the point that we killed a 36v trolling motor by 330. We, I mean Amanda, started the day off by catching a ton of juvenile bass while I beat the water to a froth with almost nothing to show for it. She also picked up her first ever Largemouth bass first thing in the morning. We bit the bullet and took a bumpy ride up the lake and although we never got any big fish we did get a bunch of average size smallies which are always fun to catch. Amanda got to try out some different baits on a Shimano Zodias Med...
