On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with local angler Matt Fauver to discuss his journey into smallmouth bass fishing on the Upper Potomac River and his growing passion for tournament kayak fishing.
First things first—I owe everyone an apology for this episode being released later than planned. After spending way too much time troubleshooting camera lag issues, I finally discovered the culprit: a dying camera battery! Thankfully, the technical problems are behind us because this conversation was absolutely worth the wait.
Matt is relatively new to targeting smallmouth bass on the legendary Upper Potomac River, and it was refreshing to hear a beginner's perspective on learning one of the East Coast's premier river fisheries. We dive into what attracted him to chasing bronzebacks, the challenges of learning a new fishery, and the lessons he's picked up while fishing one of the best smallmouth bass rivers in the Mid-Atlantic.
We also discuss the rapidly growing world of kayak bass fishing tournaments, including what it's like getting started, the gear and mindset needed to compete, and why kayak fishing continues to attract anglers from all experience levels. Whether you're considering your first kayak tournament or looking to improve your river fishing skills, Matt shares valuable insights from someone currently living the learning process.
