River Smallmouth Adventures
Welcome to River Smallmouth Adventures where we kayak fish the local Virginia and Tennessee mountain creeks, streams and rivers in search of BIG Smallmouth Bass. We love sharing our adventures, knowledge and experience with a vast audience from beginner to the more experienced fisherman.
The lures we use vary from Big swimbaits down to small ned rigs and everything in between. We are always in search of a better lure or technique to attract bigger smallmouth bass.
We do Product testing right from unboxing to give you our sincere opinions of and experiences about a product or lure. If you are into DIY, and are looking to save a few bucks, we’re here to show you the way.
We are always glad to answer your questions about any products we use and/or represent from Bonafide Kayaks, Newport Vessels Trolling Motors , and Kistler Rods and Reels to Thomas Custom Lures, Fishing Complete Inc. Home of Case Plastics and a variety of attire, line and other items we test and use.
