In this video Eric joins me for a discussion about a special spot we found and had fished it hard. We knew that these fish were hanging out near this particular steep bank but we felt like we fished it hard and the fish were feeling the pressure. We decided to try and expand on this area and by doing so we caught a few more fish. We talk about the video and a few other topics tonight, along with taking questions from our live chat feed! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L6-FkikqYM

French Kissing a Carp? Who does that?
In this video we are having the first tournament of the year and it did not end well for us....Tons of rain and dirty, cold water make it hard to catch a bass....I believe only 1 limit was brought in today. April is supposed to be a great time to fish the Chesapeake Bay and it normally is but not for us today! Hope you enjoy the video and don't forget to subscribe to my channel!

Who is SmallmouthCrush?
Travis Manson was born and raised where the giant Smallmouth Bass of the north live...WISCONSIN. He started fishing from the bank as at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite series for a number of years, until he ran out of $$ money $$. This led to a move across the country to the Northeast where he got things right again and is back on track, but now on his own terms. Perhaps he will make another run at the Elite Series if the opportunity allows. In the meantime, he is a fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round), guided trips for smallmouth back in Wisconsin (during select times) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York (May-November) His Youtube Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict!

How to fish a plastic tube bait for huge smallmouth bass.
In this video I talk all about a proven technique that puts big bass in the boat on a consistent basis. Fishing a plastic tube is the real deal and it is one my favorite ways to fish for bass. I have caught good largemouths and smallmouths with tubes and you can flip, punch, drop shot, drag, cast and skip tubes. They are a very versatile lure that can be used in so many different situations. They often are used to mimic crayfish and smallies can't resist them. Tubes are also great at mimicking baitfish such as perch or shad and you can catch fish all the way on the bottom to just below the surface with tubes.
I'll go through a few tips on how I like to fish a tube, along with the colors that I like and the brands I currently use. I'll will also show you what rod and reel combos I like to use for using a tube.
I hope these tips will help you out and encourage you to pick up the tube bait more often and give it a try on your next fishing trip.
Get the same kind of tubes I use here http://www.getbitbaits.com/
Watch the first trial video of Bass Fishing with Tubes.......It turned into a blooper and outtakes video instead!

In this weeks video I fish another Online Bass Fishing Tournament. It was the Lucky Go Fishing Tournament, powered by TourneyX. I decided to jump in a final tournament for the year. I have been catching some good fish lately and so since I was going to fish already this day I wanted to see if I could compete. The bite was not great but steady throughout the day and even though we had some high winds and big waves I was able to secure a win in this event. The fish seemed to want something on the bottom and so I had to work a bait really slow alone the bottom. Water temps were in the mid 30's and the air temperature was also in the 30's . Probably my last event until early spring but it was fun getting out!

In this video I am targeting some prespawn largemouth around docks. Here on the Chesapeake Bay the docks get used alot by bass and depending on the tide they will utilize the whole dock at times. Of course some docks are better then others and sometimes it takes a few trips out to really figure out a special dock. I like to look for docks this time of the year around spawning flats and areas this fish are moving up to. In this video most of the bass were small males and I was thinking at any time I could come across a bigger female. It just didn't happen for me today!
