This episode dives deep into bass fishing strategy, bass fishing patterns, and how to adapt bass fishing techniques across rivers, reservoirs, and tidal water throughout the Mid-Atlantic.James and Chris share their bass fishing journeys—from early pond fishing, fly fishing roots, and light saltwater fishing, to becoming consistent winners in kayak bass fishing tournaments and grassroots bass fishing clubs. Their shared passion for river smallmouth bass fishing shines through, as they explain why river smallmouth remains their favorite style of fishing above largemouth bass fishing, tidal bass fishing, or reservoir bass fishing.We recap their dominant tournament bass fishing season, highlighting wins and podium finishes across some of the most diverse bass fisheries in Virginia and the DMV:·       Lake Mooney bass fishing – 1st place (March & October)·       Occoquan Reservoir (Rez)– 1st place (April), 3rd place (June)·       Aquia Creek bass fishing – 1st place (May)·       Shenandoah River smallmouth bass fishing – 1st place (July)·       Occoquan River tidal bass fishing – 2nd place (November)The conversation focuses heavily on how to catch bass in changing conditions, emphasizing pre-tournament homework, breaking down a fishery, and building reliable Plan A and Plan B bass fishing patterns. James and Chris explain how cold water bass fishing, tidal current bass fishing, and reservoir structure fishing all require different mindsets and lure selections.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com  James Murtha on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimmy_goes_fishing?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==  Link to Lew's Golf & Fish Club Website: https://linktr.ee/lewsgolf_fishclub  Lew's Golf & Fish Club Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lewsgolf.fishclub Lew's Golf & Fish Club Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lewsgolf_fishclubPlease checkout our Patreon SponsorsJake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits  Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage  #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtipsSupport the show

We have a whopper of a podcast this month for you to enjoy. We recorded this live "in session" over at Embryo's Baulking lake in Oxford. Me and Mark had already caught a couple each so we discussed our approach, especially in depths of over 35 feet. This certainly added a few new challenges to think about. Another topic of conversation was bait application, the art of stealth and we ask ourselves can you ruin a session before you've even really started. This is also a special episode as we have carp fishing royalty on as our special guest, Mr John Carver. John is a man who was present when Chris Yates caught his iconic Redmire record, fished with Jack Hilton, caught his first Redmire carp on a slice of ginger and even went on to run the syndicate. This one really is a trip down memory lane....

On this shocking episode of Fishing the DMV, we uncover one of the biggest cheating scandals in kayak fishing history the Jacob Housman story. I'm joined by Jake Harshman as we break down the full chain of events that rocked the NYKBF community and the larger kayak fishing world.In the June 2025 NYKBF month-long online event, Housman submitted a suspicious photo of a large smallmouth bass caught from what appeared to be a cheap green kayak. Despite initial doubts, Tournament Director Nick Tammaro approved the fish at the time.A month later, red flags exploded across social media when Housman posted a nearly identical fish from the St. Lawrence River on his Instagram, except this time, it was clearly photographed on the deck of his aluminum Bass Tracker boat.Soon, forensic photo analysis and surveillance footage revealed a shocking discovery: Housman had rigged cut-out kayak pieces onto the back deck of his boat to fake kayak submissions. On November 9, 2025, Housman confessed to the deception, returning his $200 in winnings to NYKBF.However, this confession may only scratch the surface. Over the last two years, there's no way of truly knowing how much money Housman may have stolen from other competitors through this elaborate scheme — casting a dark shadow over countless events and anglers who played by the rules.As a result, NYKBF, NY Slay Nation, PA Kayak Bass Nation, PA Slay Nation, and TourneyX have all issued a lifetime ban, permanently barring Housman from all kayak and online-format fishing tournaments.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com   Jake Harshman social media: To book a trip, click on the link to his website down below: https://www.chocolatetownriverguide.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaZO8WzpUoURUatFznOEv1MyWsBsSaqbryvzVQ53VZ6XU0D1-LU5cv1_SYo_aem_TK7bWVZUN7koK6Z6wXDG3Q   YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JakeHarshman    Instagram: https://instagram.com/pa.kayakbassin?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==   Chocolate town on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chocolatetownguide?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==  #kayakfishing #bassfishing #FishingtheDMVSupport the show

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I travel to the Cushwa Cold Water Fish Hatchery in Williamsport, Maryland, to sit down with Greg Anderson, Coldwater Fisheries Production Manager, and Matt Lawrence, Coldwater Fisheries Biologist with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Together, we dive deep into the heart of Maryland's trout fishing scene and uncover the science, strategy, and passion behind the Maryland Trout Stocking Program.From the logistics of “put-and-take” rainbow trout fisheries to the careful protection of native brook trout streams and Maryland's hidden gem brown trout waters, this episode is packed with insider knowledge for anglers of all levels. We spotlight some of the state's most prized trout waters, including the Gunpowder River watershed in Baltimore County—home to Bee Tree Run, Little Falls, Western Run, and the legendary mainstem stretch between Prettyboy and Loch Raven Reservoirs. We also explore Maryland's brook trout strongholds, from the Catoctin Mountains to the upper Savage River system in Garrett County, where anglers can find the state's densest populations of wild trout.

It's great to be back behind the mic once again with a new episode of The Carp Fishing Podcast. Our special guests this month are a carp fishing comedy duo, in fact trying to get the pair of them to be serious for an hour or so wasn't easy but it worked. Jon Miller aka The Swedish Godfather and Jake Bromley aka The Housewife's favourite join me for a good old natter, just like the ones most of us have while sat round a kettle on the bank. Jon especially would have never agreed to come on if it wasn't for Jake's gentle encouragement but I am glad he did as Mr Miller has been around the block. His album is bursting at the seams with big carp yet most of them rarely see the light of day. Jake is also a ninja when it comes to catching big uns so I tried my best to extract some pearls of wisdom along the way. Their humour was infectious but sadly some of the Essex slang was lost on me, they call each other potato, what is that about? We also have the usual dose of mine and Marks ramblings and this month we touch on the subject of content over exposure. Specifically if you're making content without awareness of these issues. We discuss the impact content can have on venues, locations, the fish and discuss a recent film that dropped called "Bon Sens" from the guys at Brakass. This film hit hard recently and without spoiling the discussions it's one to check yourself. Lastly, we have our resident Scandinavian Leney aka The Panther reading his monthly sermon. Get your answers quickly to win a Baitworks prize. Enjoy.

The conversation also dives into what makes Manistee one of the premier fishing ports on the Great Lakes—from its unique river system and world-class catch rates to the deep-water shelves and seasonal fish migrations that create outstanding opportunities for salmon, trout, and steelhead. Lenny also gives a behind-the-scenes look at his 31' Tiara fishing machine, his approach to guiding clients, and why charter fishing is as much about people as it is about catching fish.

Despite the graft, Gaz has still managed to land some incredible carp — including a rare 49lb mirror called Black Spot — proving what's possible when you're organised, efficient, and determined.
