Episode Details

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we head down to the Pasquotank River, part of the legendary Albemarle Sound and Chowan River Basin, to break down one of the hottest bass fishing tournaments in the region with Elite 70 Alpha “Solo” Series winner Ryan Lachniet.

Ryan put together an incredible tournament performance, bringing a massive 28.78-pound bag of bass to the scales to secure the win. In this episode, we talk about how he was able to figure out the Pasquotank River bass, what made the bite set up the way it did, and how tournament anglers can approach tidal river systems connected to the Albemarle Sound and Chowan River Basin.

Ryan was throwing a Coike Slinging Hamma, and we dive into how that bait played a role in his winning strategy. We also discuss key bass fishing tips, tournament fishing decision-making, bait selection, river fishing patterns, tidal bass behavior, and how anglers can better prepare for competitive bass fishing events in North Carolina and Virginia.
