The mantra of every smallmouth angler, “oh he’s a BIG one… well GOOD one… oh that current had me…” 😂 dude dream trip just gorgeous I love it man

[@Itchin2Fish]

Gets me every time…lol thanks for watching

[@cmarshkayakfishing8089]

Really enjoyed the video. April can't get here soon enough. Going to do ponco to pruitt for a 3 night 4 day trip. Just trying to learn as much as I can about God's great creation.

[@Itchin2Fish]

That’s the most beautiful float on the river. Jigs, Ned’s, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and cranks works for me on the Buffalo and of course the plopper when it’s warmer. Message me anytime! Thanks for watching

[@billmccullough2323]

I always enjoy your Buffalo camping trips! Another great day on the water and some Smallies got sore lips!!! It just doesn't get much better than that!

[@Itchin2Fish]

No sir it doesn’t! Blessed to live in Arkansas.

[@dongkhaora]

You are good at fishing brother

[@Itchin2Fish]

Appreciate it! I’m learning. Still have a lot more to learn. 😂 thanks for watching

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff dude

[@Itchin2Fish]

Thanks bud

[@steveeichelberger806]

Looks like an awesome day on a beautiful river! Thanks for sharing it with us! Looks like the Shoalie performs great in that environment.

[@Itchin2Fish]

It’s definitely in its natural environment. Loving the shoalie, miss the LR storage for all this junk I bring though. 😂 thanks for watching

[@glenndaugherity6187]

That board storage area is really awesome more companies should use that idea 👍

[@Itchin2Fish]

It’s pretty awesome! Thanks for watching

[@nwakava9558]

Awesome video. We're planning a trip this Summer up that way.

[@Itchin2Fish]

It’s worth the trip! Fishing is better on the lower end. It’s all beautiful, but the postcard pics come from Ponca area. Thanks for watching

[@nwakava9558]

@@Itchin2Fish Thank you!

[@LIVE4THEADVENTURE]

Yet another great video you did. I always can’t wait for your next video. Hey I would still love to see a video of the equipment you use to haul your kayak on your truck and how you get it up there. You should try fly fishing for those Smallmouth. A few of my friends say it’s a blast. Keep the videos coming! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Itchin2Fish]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6LHYYOJgJ6Mg9k Start on the 9:35 minute mark. I walked through what I do currently and in the past. Hopefully that helps. I should fly fish. That would be fun. Thanks for watching

[@kevinlavery6194]

That looks like a blast!

[@Itchin2Fish]

It was! Thanks for watching

[@MLef111]

Great video. I just subscribed. Keep up the great work.

Appreciate the support! Thanks for watching

[@dustinharris8057]

Awesome video we Ty !

[@Itchin2Fish]

Thanks man! Appreciate the support

[@LostInTackle]

I knew it was going to be a good time. Great trip thanks. Did you ever do any "drills" for casting?

[@Itchin2Fish]

Appreciate it! I learned as I went. When I first got a bait caster, I practiced in my yard, but quickly realized that didn’t prepare me for sitting in a kayak. 😂 I learned the most from trial and error more error and some error on the water. Thanks for watching

[@LostInTackle]

Looks awesome don't think the morning

[@LostInTackle]

Will bother you

[@Itchin2Fish]

It was cold and rainy, but the bite was fire! Thanks for watching

[@LostInTackle]

Looked like it by your smile on the beginning clips.

[@paddlepedalproductions5452]

Great trip bro. I love the Buffalo. It kills me that it's such a long drive up there from Houston. I've never done a solo over night camping trip, been thinking about it a lot though. Those Mountain House meals are surprisingly tasty and filling. Nice flex with the flint and steel on the camp fire :). You could have used the lighter you used for the Jet Boil, but got it done Survivor style. Respect! Hopefully there's a part two coming soon with your day in the rain.

[@Itchin2Fish]

Appreciate it! It’s worth the trip man, but definitely far from you. 😂 it’s a sponsor, so I have to include it in my camping videos. So when I make the fire, I use it. I have gotten better though. I use to use the lighter. 😂 The Jetboil striker is out, so I have to use another igniter for it.

[@veritas2145]

Nice video.. looking forward to the next one. 👍👍

[@Itchin2Fish]

Thanks for watching! It was cold and rainy the next day, but the bite was 🔥!

[@claydankewich9582]

Nice

[@robbinsnyder3736]

We have been trying todo the Buffalo since 2020...hopefully next year we can make it happen.

[@Itchin2Fish]

Lower and middle is usually doable year round. Upper is rain driven, but the most scenic. It’s worth the trip. Thanks for watching

[@cristiantoader9302]

How do you like the Shoalie compared to the Lite Tackle...thanx

[@Itchin2Fish]

Love both! Miss my LT for camping trips like this. More open space, more stable and tracks better. But the Shoalie floats in inches of water compared to the LT and it’s set up nicer for fishing with the mods and accessories. I would love to own both, but storage is an issue. My choice would be the LT ll. More versatile, stable and better for hauling gear with a great affordable price. Tight lines! Thanks for watching

[@cristiantoader9302]

@@Itchin2Fish Appreciate the reply! Tight lines!

[@jlharper4210]

How does the micro anchor hold you in the river? I didn’t know how it would work with rocky bottom.

[@Itchin2Fish]

Does well! I only use medium strength for safety, but in swift water it holds great. It does drag in rocks until it finds a soft sport or catches a bigger rock. It’s loud in the rocks though. Makes a terrible noise, but it hasn’t effected the bite in my experience. My winter kayak trip were I’m wearing my DRYSUIT in the thumbnail. I drug 10-15 away of catching two nice smallmouth out of the same hole. I like it on the rear were I can stop myself before crashing through or spooking fish by going over them. When I’m in deeper water I like the anchor wizard off the front and fishing upstream vs down.

[@RiverBankin]

What do you keep in the perception chair cooler?

[@Itchin2Fish]

Lunch for the day, spare water, wallet/keys and my power source for the rear camera. Keeps it out of the elements better. Thanks for watching!

[@richardmansel6846]

Do you use a 1-person or 2-person tent on these trips?

[@Itchin2Fish]

Two person tent, I have a lot of camera gear that I want to bring out of the elements, so it allows space for that. Plus a little extra room for changing if it rains. My wife joins me too sometimes. I use backcountry tents because they pack so small, so they still feel like a one person tent. Eureka Midori 2 also have a Kelty Salida 2.

[@jimmynoname4089]

Was looking for that dry box, but was unable to locate it. :(

….I’m hoping to find a nice spot to bushwhack a site as during the summer they scour the wood so bad at regular sites that you can’t find a twig. Lol

[@extraoutdoors2142]

Awesome video man, can't wait for spring so I can get back to my happy place. Always interested in how others load their kayaks and pack gear. Going to the Allegheny national forest again this year for a 4 day solo trip.

[@Itchin2Fish]

Appreciate you watching and commenting. I’ve been itching to go myself. We had some bad weather here recently. It’s getting good now. That’s sounds like an awesome trip! Most I’ve done is two days. I’m wanting to expand it this year. Tight lines!
