On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we’re breaking down one of the hottest spring bass fishing patterns in the Mid-Atlantic with a full Smith Mountain Lake fishing report you don’t want to miss! I’m joined by tournament angler Matt McCluskey, who just secured an impressive Top 5 finish at the Major League Fishing (MLF) BFL event on Smith Mountain Lake—one of the most competitive tournament fishing circuits in the country.

We dive into the winning patterns, key areas of the lake, and the exact tournament fishing strategies that helped him crack the code against a stacked field of anglers.
