River Smallmouth Frenzy: Drift Fishing Delivers Trophy Bass!

Non-stop bites all day long! That's how I'd sum up our summer fishing adventure on the river near Stanwood, MI with On Target Fishing Guide Service. The day started with some morning rain, but it cleared up nicely in the afternoon, giving us perfect conditions to chase some smallmouth bass. Brent joined me for this 4-hour morning trip, and we set out at the crack of dawn, hitting the water at 7:00 am sharp. The river was in great shape, and I had a feeling we were in for some solid action with On Target Fishing Guide Service.

With our gear rigged and ready, we wasted no time getting down to business. I showed Brent some of my favorite techniques for targeting smallmouth in these parts - drift fishing, bottom bouncing, and live bait rigging. These methods are killer for enticing those big river smallies, and it wasn't long before we started getting some serious hits. The highlight of our day was when Brent hooked into a monster 21-inch smallmouth bass. That fish put up one heck of a fight, but Brent played it perfectly, and we got it in the boat for a quick photo before releasing it back to fight another day. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and smiles all around!
