Small Creek Kayak Fishing! ( Tennessee Musky Fishing )

We're fishing a tiny creek for big fish! Come along for the excitement as we work our way upstream through chutes and shallows to target giant apex predator fish in this tiny fishery. Throwing giant swimbaits in a tiny creek, does it get any better? Matt hasn't been this excited to go fishing in a while!

Today we're on a musky mission! Matt has been chasing them non-stop this Fall and today we've got great conditions for a big bite. Chasing these fish takes swimbait fishing to the next level! Watch as he picks the water apart with some of his confidence baits in the pursuit of musky on bass lures. In the end, he's successful in landing a quality musky on a glide bait!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used throughout the day as well as some of the gear he was fishing with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BIG Baits For Shallow River MUSKY! Southern Muskie Fishing!

Musky and Smallmouth in the South? In tiny rivers?! You better believe it! Come along for a day of kayak fishing for shallow water Musky and Smallmouth bass! We're taking our kayaks up river, against the current, on a big fish mission! We know where the fish are, we just have to reach them!

Today's trip has been in the works for a year! We've been waiting for the perfect river flows and weather conditions to take our kayaks and charge up river against the current into some prime musky territory! With the amazing power of the Old Town's trolling motors and some heavy paddling, we overcame serious current and got into the section of river we've been dreaming about! The fishing was everything we hoped it would be and we can't wait to go back for more!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, equipment, and kayaks we used to pull of this adventure. We've included the exact colors, tail changes, hook upgrades, etc... so you know everything we did to make this adventure happen.
