This was sort of unexpected. I was with the wife rock hunting along the shores of Lake Michigan. I took the drone up for few pictures for our anniversary. Needless to say, I was surprised when I spotted some big smallmouth swimming along. It was too far for me to travel by boat. I looked for a near ramp and there wasn't anything within 20 miles of the secluded beach. We decided to go back again after the storms the other night to hunt for a few more rocks. I took a fishing rod with me to see if I could get lucky from shore. Despite the water being all stirred up from the storms I managed to catch two tanks. I'll put that drone footage up on our fishing channel when I get back in town. Pretty sweet watching those big smallmouth swimming around in the middle of nowhere. #lake #michigan #bassfishing #fishing #bass #smallmouth #drone
This was our first fishing trip of 2023. Strong winds and storms the day prior led into our bluebird fishing day. Come along to see how we stringed some bites together on a tough fishing condition day. Thanks for being part of our community and stayed tuned for more exclusive content from R & J Bass Fishing.

Lake Erie Walleye hanging around a piece of structure. I took this footage last summer in about 15 feet of water.
I was able to get my buddy Jim out on the ice for the first time in about 10 years. We fished East Harbor of Lake Erie. What makes this area unique is that you are fishing 3 to 4 feet of water and you can look down the ice fishing hole and see the fish hit. For us guys up north it doesn't get much better during the winter. The only bad part is drilling through about 15 inches of ice. I let Jim use the underwater camera which gives a little extra excitement when the fish roll in. I'll leave a link if you would like to watch any of the underwater footage.
