Bassmaster Northern Open Mid-Week Practice on Oneida Lake!

Well I had a few days of practice and got a feel for how Oneida Lake was fishing.  I noticed that a lot of the fish where not in the usual areas that I fished in the past this time of year.  I couldn't get a top water bite going and we had a lot of rainstorms and some cooler days which brought the water temp down a bit.  I ended up finding a few good patterns that I am excited about and think I can capitalize on a few of these spots!  I am looking forward to the actual tournament and think I can put together a good bag of fish.  I also noticed that the Smallmouth Bass have seemed to be getting bigger then normal.  This has to be due to the increasing number of gobys in the system.  Gobys have been in the lake for a number of years but this year I really noticed them.  They would peck at the bait constantly in certain areas and I know they are a great source of food for bass.  I think within a year or two Oneida Lake will be putting out some larger then average Smallmouth Bass because of this.

Who is SmallmouthCrush?

Travis Manson was born and raised where the giant Smallmouth Bass of the north live...WISCONSIN.  He started fishing from the bank at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand.  Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing.  He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since.  He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite Series for a number of years, until he ran out of $$ money $$.   This led to a move across the country to the Northeast where he got things right again and is back on track, but now on his own terms.  Perhaps he will make another run at the Elite Series if the opportunity allows. In the meantime, he is a fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round), guided trips for smallmouth back in Wisconsin (during select times) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York (May-November)  His Youtube Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict!  Hope you enjoy!
