Hey great videos just wondering where you launch from near Norristown? Also like ConralixChessie I have been fishing the Flatrock Dam and wondering if you have ever had any luck down there.

[fishnmusicn]

@siacovella1 I can give you a tip about Flatrock Dam. When I was younger I used to wade below it a lot. If you can get out to the base of the falls, it's loaded with channel cats, that whole area is very good. Since I don't fish it anymore, I don't mind giving the info away. Get yourself a standup quill bobber, set it at about 3 ft. and put on a gob of worms, a few large split shot to make the quill stand up, and throw into the base of the dam, guaranteed channel cat action...

@fishnmusicn Thanks for the tip on the cat's they are one species that I have not targeted but would like to. I have been out on my kayak a lot lately and was really looking for some small mouth but have not seen any down at flat rock. I have been reading a lot online about the Norristown area being good for that and up by the blue route. Do you know if there is and place for me to launch my yak up there? I'm not asking for your secret hot spots just a place to get me started.

I was using a super fluke for most of the bass, it was a good year for that lure.

Caught it on a spinnerbait while fishing for bass

[pavchaos]

what you catch the muskie / pike on? great video by the way.

[Alb11684]

hey pal thanks for the response i always thought local bait shops where pulling my chain.

[Alb11684]

hey i was wondering where you caught that muskie  what part of the schuylkill

[fishnmusicn]

Norristown area

[fishnmusicn]

Wish I still had that canoe, had to sell for financial reasons, it's all kayaks now. If you get creative with a tripod or Ram mount on your canoe, you won't need a hat cam, though it would add another perspective...

[virtualguitarist]

Nice smallys, i like that flat back canoe setup. I fish from a canoe myself in lakes and rivers. Theres nothing like stealth fishing! I want to get a hat cam so i can take vids of my fishing adventures. I got a couple vids on here, but its hard to fish and film with a regular digital camera.

[fishnmusicn]

Sorry for the delayed response. I'll try to help you. I've got Videowave 9. When you get done your production in the storyline view, there should be an icon at the top that looks like a movie reel - it is "output as" - I use the AVI setting and then save it to My Videos. That is your source when you're ready to upload to YouTube. It should work, hope that helped you out.

[masterjo09]

hey i think you did this video on videowave. If you did, i have a question for you. I did a video on videowave 8 and i can't put it on youtube. Can you tell me how you did?

[jmillsgmu23]

Great fish. I've done most my bass fishing in Minnesota but I live off the perkiomen trail now. I'm just curious what kind of baits you are using for those fish. Never saw a tiger musky before, but it looks pretty nice, good fight?

[fishnmusicn]

I use mostly soft plastics fished deep and slow, and the x-rap is a good hard bait when the fish are active. Muskies like to thrash around when they get close, so you have to be patient and not horse them in. It was quite a good fight. I don't have my square stern canoe any more, so I'll be very lucky if I'm able to get another musky from my kayak. Thanks for the comment...

[nj4x4fever2]

Excellant video Was that a chain pickerel or a pike?? Enjoyed your music too!!

[fishnmusicn]

Thanks for the comment - that's a tiger musky - a little rare in the Schuylkill, but they are there... Look for more stuff this year.

[fishnmusicn]

Thank you very much. The Susky is the ultimate but I usually don't have the time to get there.

[metalman1320]

Very cool video man... I fish the Susky myself, but the Schuylkill looks awesome. Great video's!!

[fishnmusicn]

I do all the shooting myself. On the canoe I use a tripod, and on the kayak, a "Ram" mount with a camera thread attached. I have to be extra careful in the kayak since my camera is not waterproof!

[lilbromarky1]

Fishn is your camera somehow mounted on the boat or do you have someone filming that for you?

The canoe I use is a square stern model made by Sportspal, very similar to the Radisson canoe, but thicker guage metal. It is incredibly stable - I can stand and fish all day if I like... If you do a search for Meyers Sportspal, and Radisson canoes, you'll see more info. Its also lightweight at just 57 lbs. The one I have is 13'2" long. Thanks for your comment.

nicely edited and some great smallies.

I noticed you had one of those fishing canoes with the trolling motor mount. I'm curious to no if their made to be more stable than the average canoe?

[ropa1117]

Great song! Nice smallies! Great footage, love that in the video it leads up to the fishing, an all around good fishing video.

[ToddGilmore]

Wow! I know this guy! What a stud! Great visuals (made me a little homesick), great fish (made me a little hungry), great music (made me a little jealous)!
