My First Time Fishing The Thornapple River / Smallmouth Bass Fishing / Bass Fishing Michigan Rivers

This was my first time fishing The Thornapple River. Smallmouth bass fishing keeps me excited to hit the river in the heat of summer but lately Iv'e grown bored fishing the same spots all the time so I needed to hit up a new river. I have seen The Thornapple River often referred to as one of the best smallmouth bass fishing rivers in Michigan. The title of best smallmouth bass fishing river in Michigan is a heavy title but Ive heard it from multiple sources. It wasn't the most epic smallmouth bass fishing adventure ever but the fish that I did catch were nice solid fighters! I fished 3 dams on this trip. I started with The Ada Dam then The Cascade Dam and ending with the Middleville Dam. I shall ruturn one day to fish The Thornapple river and next time the big one wont get away...

Reel Michigan Anglers is a personal passion and my gift to fellow fisherman. In the future I hope to do more informational fishing videos and cover different types of fishing all across the great state of Michigan. My goal, time permitting is to fish as many different bodies of water for as many different fish species as I can get my hands on. I am a Lansing Michigan resident working towards transferring to MSU for Fisheries and wildlife. My goal is to expand operations and bring more educational and entertaining fishing videos to my subscribers. In the meantime you can count on me for the occasional video outlining the the techniques and areas I fish for Bass, Pike, Walleye, Steelhead, Salmon, Trout, Carp, Suckers, Catfish and Panfish ect. You can see additional videos and other fun fishing related info on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... I Wouldn't be the fisherman I am today without other fisherman who taught me the things I know and I am a firm believer that the sport and conservation of fishing in Michigan is better when we share it with one another. Wether your trying to lean a new spot to fish, a new crank bait to try, advise on what fishing rod to use, what fishing line to use, what color spinner a coho likes, what color jig a steelhead prefers, how to rig live bait, match the hatch, understand fish migration, the effects of barometric pressure or any other aspect of fishing the best way to learn is from other fisherman. That combined with trial and error and pure time spent on the water is the key to improving your fishing game. The better you get the more fun it is and the more we share the fun with others the more future generations will benefit from it. My goal is to kickstart that process by giving you loads of tips for fisherman, easy fishing tips for beginners, Best lure recommendations, How to fishing videos, how to rig videos, and other cool fishing videos. I will take you on a visual tour of fishing destinations you may wish to try, show you how I rig my rods, show you what lures I use to catch fish, What fish I target during the various seasons and how I target them. Budget friendly fishing gear reviews are another thing I plan to continue to deliver.
