Backwater Casting season finale.
It sure is tough to book a show around the weather this time of year but we got this one right. We travelled up to Woodstock yesterday with our guest Ray McFarlane for some late season Smallmouth Bass fishing. A bit on the cold side, some light rain and a little bit of wind were the order of the day.
Our first stop started off a bit on the slow side with me throwing a tube and Ray fishing a Shakey Head. It was probably a good ten minutes before we got a fish and Ray struck first and brought a chunky 2.5lber to the boat. Another cast at the same general spot produced another one and while I was watching to see how big the second fish was going to be I felt that old familiar tick on the line and we were into our first double header of the day...

This is a screen shot from my HDS 9 Carbon showing a school of Striped Bass passing under the boat while we were filming on the Miramichi River this year.

The link is to a show we did on the Miramichi River with Marc Doiron. We had lots of fun and lots of fish.

Some posts have disappeared into the void of the internet so I am reposting earlier shows

I think that when I tell you my hands hurt you know the fishing was good on the Chi today. We caught up with Marc Doiron who took some time away from his new store in Miramichi City to fish with us. This morning was as nice as you could ask for and the fishing was great. We idled down the channel and watched the Lowrance units for schools of fish. Find them and catch them. The incoming tide started not long after we got there and there was wave after wave of Stripers moving up with the tide.
Marc caught most of his on a Savage Gear Sand eel and I got most of mine on a Zoom Super Fluke. The fish were tight to the bottom and a lot of the guys trolling were not getting down to the fish...

We have lost some of the shows from the site for some reason so I am reposting them.

Shawn has pretty much tied up the special program he has been working on for the last few weeks so we are back on the water for show four of our ninth season on Rogers TV NB.
Our guests today are Chantal and her son Sebastien. The fishing has been off a bit but we managed to put some nice Smallmouth Bass in the boat. We had an absolutely gorgeous day to film and the heat didn’t really start to cook us until we got back to the ramp.
Chantal went after the multi species prize with a combination of Bass, Yellow Perch, White Perch , Chain Pickerel and a Sun Fish. Pretty sure she had not caught any of them before so a nice experience for her...
