S6E186 Bass Fishing for Noobs - Smallmouth tactics with Ryan Doll

A few weeks ago, we welcomed Randy Long, an awesome river smallmouth angler from PA who we called the smallmouth whisperer to the show. Well, if Randy is the PA smallmouth whisperer, Ryan Doll holds that title for Ohio. Tonight, Sean and Susie welcome Ryan to the Noobs show to share some of his smallmouth tools, tips and tactics.

We start by getting a bit of Ryan's back story and how he got in to fishing, and how he fell in love with chasing smallies.

After a brief get-to-know-you session we jump right in to some of the ways Ryan has learned to target and catch huge smallmouth. Ryan covers many baits from his lineups including jerkbaits and poppers to big swimbaits and glide baits. Ryan also covers some of the rod and reel combos he uses to throw these baits and lures.

We finish up the interview with a little bit about Ryans philosophy for his time on the water and why it means so much to him.

So if you want to find out even more great info on chasing smallies, be sure to tune in to this episode of the Bass Fishing for Noobs show, here on the Paddle N Fin podcast.
