Today, we travel up the Potomac River in my jetboat and fish for smallmouth bass just below Harpers Ferry, WV. The smallies were biting and I caught plenty on this short trip.
As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of outdoor adventure, metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed. I keep my RU-vid "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

Well done Chigg. Once again, thank you for fitting in some fishing here and there.

@OldButStillKicking Месяц назад

Maybe a little help with fuel or sunscreen. Just want to thank you for taking us on a jetboat ride with a little fishing and a fair amount of catching! Always appreciated, Beau. Thanks!

@aquachigger Месяц назад

Thanks so much!

@rickyb2200 Месяц назад

Great watching you fish, water fishing and dirt fishing detecting are both a lot of fun, thanks Chigg for taking us along.

@JustAnotherTP Месяц назад

Another ride in the boat. I wish I could explain how relaxing/hypnotic it is for me. Stopping to watch you fish is a bonus. You mentioned that you "hate to lose tackle", reminding me of all the videos where you are finding enough to open a small retail outlet. But mainly, it looked like you were having a nice day before your temps get to 100°f. Thanks as always for sharing.

@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat Месяц назад

Chiggs any day fishing on the river surrounded by wildlife is a great day.👍👏

@Uwannawatch Месяц назад

Loving the fishing videos. It's great seeing you do another outdoor hobby . I can't thank ya enough for this video. I had a long week at work and a fishing trip with Chigg is just what I needed. Thanks again take care.

A bit late, but readyy to go fishing!

@user-kx4cq3lh6x Месяц назад

I remember a guy took me to a creek in the late 70's that you could step across in some places introducing me to smallmouth...I laughed walking back to his "special spot"i was thinking noway this creek had any fish of size...boy was i wrong,amazed and hooked (no pun intended)on smallies from that day on...he used crawfish and a hook only...he had caught a 4lber from that same hole previously...they are fighters he said from fighting the current...

@stevebroadway3713 Месяц назад

Thanks for the fishing trip! Large mouth bass can be fast hitting and a bit difficult to reel in also. Enjoyed watching.

@aquachigger Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed it.

@robertdiehl1281 Месяц назад

Gorgeous country. And some fish were cooperating too. Pleasant video.

@nh_highlander1985 Месяц назад

I used to catch smallies up around Blackford's Ford below Shepherdstown back in the early 70's and the river still looks good for fishing down at the Ferry. NH smallies I find are usually in a small pond but absolutely quiet. Nice day, good fishing. ✌👌

@aquachigger Месяц назад

I still fish (and detect) at Blackford's Ford.

@richardklapka5147 Месяц назад

I enjoyed. My son is taking me fishing on Fathers Day. Im ready!! Nice show Chig! Rk.

@TomFromMN Месяц назад

It was a fun ride as usual. Can be a tad jealous as we don't all have access to fishing & CATCHING like that! You expressed concern when you said you "hate losing tackle" and all I could think of was all the tackle we've seen you recover! But I always enjoy the ride and fishing was a bonus. Thanks, Beau.

I’m also a catch and release kind of guy myself, surf fishing here on the coast of South Florida. People always joke with me saying yeah I release my fish, into a pan with hot oil. But I don’t need to eat them, so I release them. I just enjoy the fun of catching them. 👍

You fish like I do anymore my friend, I put them back and remove the barbs from the hooks too. Thank you for a great little trip on the river.

@rogerallen6644 Месяц назад

A bad day on the the river is better than the best day in the office!

@philipkomoroski210 Месяц назад

I’d once again like to invite you to fish/MD the Tye river with me in Central VA. Very minor civil war artifact chance but it was the site of a catastrophic flood due to Hurricane Camille which destroyed several communities along the valley. Also, monster smallies. Lots of healthy, brawny fish.

Hi Beau - Wow - some good bass there. We're heading out Sunday to do some trout fishing at a lake close to home here in Arizona. Love to fish. Your boat is so awesome! Thanks for sharing!!

@kwellerfolds Месяц назад

Love the vid! Since u don't care if they spit it, ever consider switching to barbless? Always thought it would be fun but looks real difficult!

@georglimiux677 Месяц назад

Cool trip. Back in the day, I used to walk out on the Menominee river when the water was low. Lots of Walleyes and dead crayfish from the racoons. its all fenced in now.

@smoovefishing Месяц назад

I love fishing for small mouth bass, got home this morning from a 2 day trip fishing and was in the water about 22 hours in 2 days it was fun but I am wore out

@Mountainmonths Месяц назад

A metastudy in 2005 found that the average catch and release mortality rate was 18%. More recent studies reported in Montana estimate that approximately 20% of released trout die from injuries or stress and for those that do not die, their injuries may significantly reduce their ability to feed and grow.

@shake9574 Месяц назад

I have learned that two small bass filleted and fried in small chunks makes enough fish tacos to feed a family of four

@aquachigger Месяц назад

@Mountainmonths It it the law that you have to release all smallmouth that don't meet the size limit. I The only real choice is not to fish at all.

Hey Chigg, what is the price range of that boat and where did you get it? Thanx for a great video and please do more -- maybe James or Cowpasture rivers?

@Yinzzy656 Месяц назад

Yeah Bass is trophy fish, it's not the kind of fish you keep and take home to eat. But sure where they got that you're supposed to keep 'everything' you catch. Smh lol Well done Chigg.

@aquachigger Месяц назад

There are size limits here. You can't keep most of them by law.
