They wouldn’t eat a moving bait!

[@markmoe259]

I've never thought about dead sticking triggering a scavenger bite vs predator, but it makes sense. More to think about in why things work. Thanks, Jeff.

[@TheLittleStuff]

There are no negative cues to dissuade them from eating when it’s just sitting there.

[@thescornedgentleman7484]

Thanks for the wisdom, I literally get excited when you release a video. Little stuff Schools in session!!!! Thanks Jeff.

[@kevinbills113]

Same lol

[@TheLittleStuff]

Got a bunch more cued up!

I had the pleasure to fish the Susquehanna, for a couple of days, last week (from MI). I was hoping for a power fishing bite, like my past October visits to the Susky - spinnerbait, grass piece (JDM), jerkbait or osakana slide. Almost everything came on a dead stick fluke, scented jerk shad, and hula stickz. Others, in our group, were nailing them with a finesse swimbait. The highlight of my trip was finding a small 3 ft depression, with an undercut in a sunken ledge. The Smallies were loaded under there! I only found that by reading the water and fishing the water disturbance. Thank you for your content!

Kurt, glad that you recognized when to downshift!

[@eric_schaaf]

Fun stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@TheLittleStuff]

Thanks for watching Eric!

[@johnwhite993]

The paddling lessons at the beginning were great. Always great info in every aspect Jeff. All your work is appreciated thanks for all you do

[@TheLittleStuff]

I’ll probably do some designated instructional paddling videos that explain how to do it and how it helps with the primary task at hand: fishing.

[@jasonvenesky2438]

Great lesson

[@TheLittleStuff]

Thanks Jason!

[@ironkayaker5682]

Thanks for the paddling lessons. There’s much more to it than it seems

[@TheLittleStuff]

I’m looking forward to teaching your anglers next month!

[@DennisTidwell-o8n]

A true master class....

[@TheLittleStuff]

Thanks Dennis.

[@Fishingsummer]

It's such an amazing experience.

[@curtanschuetz3434]

Really? It looks like a major pain in the ass.

[@TheLittleStuff]

I enjoyed it.

[@keviningram6416]

Jeff, how did you add the eyes to the Jerkshads? Crazy glue or glue and dip in plastic? Is there a special glue that works for the elaztech ? Thanks in advance. Always like your tackle crafting videos! Tight lines🎣

[@TheLittleStuff]

Check my Instagram account JeffLittleKayakFishing There’s a reel that shows how.

[@brendanlee8287]

Jeff great video, what NRS outfit are you wearing, it looks easy to fish in and weather protection

[@TheLittleStuff]

It’s their bibs. Not the “Champion” bibs, but the other one. There’s a bootie foot that you wear boots over.

[@natelenig]

Jeff, I’ve seen you talk on the 2/0 grip pin for the 5” Scented Jerk Shad. What size do you use for the 7”??

[@TheLittleStuff]

Usually the 3/0.

[@georgetollefsen994]

Hey Jeff great stuff! I was out yesterday fishing a jig , swimming it in bursts with no success really and switched to a scented jerk shad and picked up some good fish, I wasn’t dead sticking but snapping with long pause. Seems like a pattern moving forward as the water temp is dropping. Will see? Thanks for sharing!

[@TheLittleStuff]

George, glad you’re making it work a different way. I was out today and mostly sight fished deep boulders, knowing that there would be fish on them. I like the deadstick to be immediate. Cast it, let it get down and draw the line taught. I’ll try your snapping technique tomorrow.

[@georgetollefsen994]

@@TheLittleStuff good luck Jeff ! I have also been finding big fish really shallow,small shallow poles near current, some of these fish are in 12” of water.

[@nrthlife325]

Are you still using the Innovative Sportman Rock Guard on the new Torqueedo?

[@TheLittleStuff]

Tray has a new rock guard for the new Torqeedo.

[@watsontv13]

Hey Jeff! What size weight was that weighted hook you were using on the jerk shad? Awesome video!

[@TheLittleStuff]

1/8th oz

[@curtanschuetz3434]

Would it be easier to buy a boat?

[@TheLittleStuff]

Nothing else goes as shallow as these inflatables. A boat, like a Jon boat or even a Jet couldn’t get to many of the places we went without smashing into rocks and spooking all the fish.

[@robswoodsandcustomsawmilli9940]

You could walk 90% of the river right now.
