This Bait Catches Giant Early Spring Smallmouth Bass! Raystown Lake Bass Fishing Tournament!

This Bait catches tons of giant early spring smallmouth bass! At our latest raystown lake bass fishing tournament we caught a bunch of giant early spring smallmouth using a small swimbait! Simple fishing early spring with a keitech 3.3 on a jighead! Early spring Smallmouth bass fishing can be awesome because they usually are feeding heavy! This was a tournament that I was using to practice for another tournament as I have never been bass fishing on raystown lake before! Raystown lake is deep and clear and full of big smallmouth and even some big largemouth but we didn't catch any. Hopefully this helps you catch more early spring smallmouth bass!

Let me know if you enjoy the tournament videos!

[@colepontzeroutdoors6526]

Love tournament vids

[@RockyBottomBassmasters]

WHERE ARE THE LAKE WERE YOU FISHING?

[@hooks4nooks]

Good job on the tourney... Way to go. Third is not bad at all. Be proud my brother!

[@nathanquincefishing7122]

Thanks!

[@109wpine]

Can you show what you were throwing?

[@nathanquincefishing7122]

It’s a finesse swimbait! I’ve done a few videos on it!

[@bolawdean]

You guys were slaying…any shot you can give the coordinates or drop a google pin on that location? Go on vacation there in a couple weeks and would love to get right on them 😉

[@carriep7812]

I was wondering the same. I've watched many of Nathan's videos, and was pleasantly surprised to see him at my hometown (somewhat) lake. Making a trip out there in a couple of weeks.

[@tomillar4225]

Awesome video bro!!! I got a state tourney in April of 22 and can't wait to go. Hopefully the fishing is this good lol. Keep them coming man

[@nathanquincefishing7122]

Nice! If it’s PA bass nation I’ll be there!

[@tomillar4225]

@@nathanquincefishing7122 it is the PA bass nation tournament. I'm fishing that one, erie and mosquito last chance. I can't fish the middle one due to a bfl in ohio the same day. Maybe you'll be my boater that day

Brother.... We are ON The Smallies here in Morgantown WV. Don't know if you're familiar with the aera, but we are about 1hr & 20mins south Pittsburgh PA. I Digress tho haha. My brother and I lucked upon 3 fresh water lakes, that were built by the Mining Company to feed water for drilling purposes I'm guessing. Now... these little lakes were built in the 40s. They are probably only 6 or 7 acres. But.... their 45ft deep @ the Dam wall and centers. On my GOOD WORD, There is the WV State Record Smallmouth living in these lakes!! I caught two 7+ lb Smallmouth & my brother caught 4 !! That's aside from the umpteen 3,4,5+ we stuck!! I swear as I'm breathing, Marc had one on last yr that I know was the Record!! Sadly after the 50/11th time that SOB went Airborne it threw the Rattletrap about 100 F'en feet !! & I'm telling ya that fish was double digits!! I seen it like 15 damn times, tail walking Mad as a Mofo !! This Bass was significantly bigger than anything we had caught all last yr! These lakes probably haven't been fished In 40yrs brother!! They are crystal clear as well , out in the middle of BFE, miles from anywhere... love that fact!! The mines are doing some work with the coal mines and that's how we came across them. Marc's Son in Law is the boss and he turned is onto um. I'll keep u updated my Friend, because from the start we have had so far this yr........ And NEW !!! WV State Record Smallmouth with 11lbs !! Hahaha. The current record is two separate fish. The weight is 9lbs5ozs. The length is like a hair over 25in. Ohhh BTW, I'm about 99% sure the state record Crappie also resides there !! We are catching some absolute Slab Crappie!! I love to talk to other Smallmouth people. Not near as many of us around as Largemouth ppl. Hell I'll fish for whatever ya want, but I have to say Smallmouth Bass is my favorite!! Love to creek fish for um probably as much if not more sometimes. That cool stream water is nice on a 100 degree day !!! Keep up the Gr8 content brother 👏 👌

Nice! Good luck!

What bait is it

[@glxbe]

any tips on Raystown in the summer?. never been there before and the map is daunting

[@nathanquincefishing7122]

Never been there in the summer!

[@davidleibfried4096]

I was just there yesterday and was slamming fish back inside coves and inlets with a simple crappie jig . All you need is a jig head /chartreuse colored preferred and a minnow about 3" or smaller . I got a nice 18" smallie off of that

[@colepontzeroutdoors6526]

Hey man. I'm always looking to fish with new people. Im fishing my first bass tournament in 2 weeks and a big 3 lake tournament in tioga county at the end of July. Hope to see you there.
