Kim Stricker's Hook-n-Look TV Shows next episode on the St.Clair River

[Mark Modrak]

Alright everyone set your DVR'sand VCR's and whatever else you record shows on, next weeks Hook-n-Look will be about fishing the St.Clair River fishing deep in the current. This episode will show you how smallmouth really go about taking your jig off the bottom and I can assure you its not what most of us thought. I have a little insight on this show because this episode I was the camera boat.
Kim's guest for the show is our very own Ranger Rep. Pat Kleppert. Kim and Pat will also be using Strike Kings new Coffee Tubes during this show. Be sure that you don't miss this show. Feb. 12 at 5:00am, Feb. 13th at 8:30am and Feb.15th at 3:00pm.
Hook-N-Look airs on the Versus Network

This is a different episode...The one you saw last week was out in front of Metro Beach...
Hey Mark any GPS coordinates to where he was filming in the river?   Not really, it would just drive me crazy to go there and still get skunked.

HEY!!! I finally figured out how to get my new DVR recordings set!! And I didn't even need a young person to help me

Now, I have to remember to pull up the recording and watch it. I want to see if Kim really uses a flutterblast as an emergency flotation device... (as someone has led me to believe)??

[SethV]

Man, I wish I had Verus channel.

I was asking Kim if he would release the shows on DVD.  He thought he might do it.  I sure hope does.  And soon!

Anyone want to invite me over to watch the show??   

Seth

[djkimmel]

I mentioned the same thing... about releasing the shows on DVD. Why not?

I apparently get the HD version of Versus and I think I have the recording timer dohickey (technical term, sorry) setup right.

But you don't live near Lansing, so you Seth? I think you live by where I work - in Flint? I'll take notes... Of course, then I'll lay them on a pile somewhere and not see them again for 3 or 4 seasons... but it's the thought that counts, isn't it?!?

[SethV]

I live in Wixom.  Just off of I96, close to the Novi Expo Center.

[djkimmel]

That can be handy, I'll bet. But not for watching Stricker on my TV though...

[Dan]

I tried to tape the 3:00 show today and tennis was on Versus. Drats

[djkimmel]

Uh-oh. I hope next week is better. That's when it counts!

[motocross269]

I think it is also on at 5am...I can't record it at 3pm because that is when my wife's soap is on...and being a smart married man I don't mess with her soap..I guess you have to pick your battles.

[Skulley]

You either pick your battles or you go out and get another television with a cable hookup like I did.  I have at least two other televisions in my house so that I can watch fishing and the lovely bride can watch soaps and Oprah.  The kids can play their video games on the other. 

I rushed home from work yesterday to catch it and was disappointed to find that tennis was on.  I was bummed.  I get off work at 1430 and was home by 1455 just in time to get a beer and settle back in my lazy boy and watch.  And then............what the heck is this...........tennis?  Big drag bummer.  Anyway I am looking forward to next weeks shows.

Hey - Pat's a STAR!!! And Kim's letting him catch all the bass so far!!! Very nice host letting Pat catching all those bass! In HD!!

Now, Kim is swimming with the fish and playing with zebra mussels!

Whoops!! Gotta go. He's found the 'sweet spot' and my BUDDY - le sheephead!!!

[djkimmel]

WHOA!! Big Musky going for Kim!!!?!!

Naw... it just swam by...

[joshimoto son]

I was very surprized to see just how clear it was that deep.
Now I know what them smallies are doing when I'm bumping along the bottom like that. Just going with the current and watching... not biting... watching

I liked that one, I recorded it on the DVR, the 5:30am one...

It's nice to see Pat on there, now I can actually say that I know someone on TV that actually remembers my name.

[djkimmel]

Right you are Bob...

[joshimoto son]

Ouch man.... ouch....

[billy_bass]

That was one sweet show!!! It was pretty cool watching the smallmouths follow the bait, then bolt a few feet ahead of it, and then set up like a goal tender and lead the tube in the current.

[djkimmel]

They are one goofy fish with sometimes irritating behavior... not that I'll stop trying to catch them!!

Smallies seem to be one of the most curious fish in the water. I saw this a lot when I had my underwater camera. Curious and territorial.

[Cheetam]

Good show.  I liked the footage showing the big drum hanging out with the smallmouth.  Proof positive that just because you're catching drum, doesn't mean there aren't any smallmouth in the neighborhood.  I would have liked to see some dropshot action though.  I'd really like to see how that current effects the action of the bait.
