Asheville Anglers guide Travis Honeycutt takes long time client Van Dowless on a smallmouth float trip. The fishing was fantastic. We put this 3 pounder in the boat along with 25 other smallmouth. Mostly jig fishing with crayfish patterns and caught a lot of fish on crankbaits that day. Its summertime mode for the smallmouth, the fish are very chasey and most days you can have a lot of top water and reaction bites!
