Smallmouth heaven with Steve Johnson.

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. My favourite drop shot rod is a Shimano 7’2″ Cumulus rod rigged with a CI4 reel.The rod is out of production so I really need to take care of it. I even got some bonus fish under the boat when I saw them on the Lowrance HDS 9.
If you fish Smallmouth bass in New Brunswick you know that Woodstock is the place to be and the day did not disappoint. Anytime our producer, Shawn, gets to pick up a rod you know we had a good day and he put his fair share in the boat. We had a lot of fun on the water and I can’t wait to get back up there and do it again. See you on the water
