From Paul Melanson :
Our day one stop of this two part show was at the reversing falls in Saint John. A big thank you out to Mark Doiron for lending us his boat for the trip. The deep vee was much more suited to the fast and crazy water as the tides push through that narrow gap. The Stripers were not super co-operative but we did manage to get two fish into the boat and missed a couple of others. Paul’s custom made River Tide jigs were the ticket to getting the baits down quickly in the heavy current. We were using some heavy duty Shimano Terez rods rigged with Saragossa spinning reels and 8olb Power Pro. Striper fishing at the reversing falls is serious work. Great fun too.
From Paul:
Awesome 24 hours out fishing!! I would like to first thank Marc at Dorions Outfitters for the awesome new basket for my net it made working on the fish easy and keeping it in the water the whole time for a C&R.
Big thank you to Rick Greene for having me out for fliming part 2 for Saint John River Smallmouth. This time we were fishing small mouth bass on the lower Saint John River. It was a tough bite today but we did manage to boat roughly 20 fish with couple 3lbers and 2.5lber and alot as Rick called them peanuts!!
Next stop will be Woodstock New Brunswick for the 2 day NBSFA open event!!
