Fall Fishing

[bigben]

Hit the river this morning with a buddy and we ended up catching this channel and 10 other buddies of his in a 2 hr span. Most were in the 10lb weight class.

That's a nice channel catfish. Ben you sure know how to catch those big boys. I hear there are other guys that catch them, but you seam do every time you go fishing. I never knew there were that many big ones until you showed us.

  Fall 2014  although river is EXTEMELY low the fish are there. Had a guest from Dallas TX. visit and got him on the river for several hrs. Wed. afternoon and again Fri. morning. We caught several nice bass and one nice channel cat..Using Rebel Crawdads,twisters and large live minnows (6-8 inchers)

  I thought you told me you only used a dip net when the water was low???

[Brushwolf]

  Can you keep nothing a secret?    My friend did catch an 18" smallie and he was ecstatic to say the least.  I told him if the river was just 6 inches higher and not gin clear we would be in the money but he seemed happy with what he was catching. He looked in my minnow bucket, said in Tx's we filet fish that size..lol...about a minute later my drag went zing and like an idiot I hauled back and yanked the bait right out of somethings mouth...shredded it real good.  ........made cut bait out of remains and got a 25 inch cat just after... ...that's my story and I'm sticking to it... .................. ...BTW Clarks Creek here in Central Pa. was stocked Thurs.

  Forgot this    At ther top of the page Ben is holding a cat with a pair of orange fish grippers  if you don't own a pair of these you should  they are an awesome addition to your gear and are cheap.. . controls fish and keeps hooks out of you....JMO..

'the bite' is just not on yet on the Susquehanna
By that, we are catching Smallmouths but they are spotty.
Tuesday, my son and I worked over PPL Dam (Shamokin Dam) then drifted above and under Selinsgrove RR bridge for 2 hours and caught 1 Bass using Jerk baits and Spinner baits under very windy conditions.
Then drifted a long deep stretch at the Isle of Que when we got into Smallmouths. This drift we were using Wacky Worms and the Bass were hitting like a machine gun. Probably 4 in the 11"-13" range most 14"18". We drifted that stretch two times. Then return to PPL dam and nothing, then drifted to boat ramp and picked up an 18" bass on the way.
5 hours of windy conditions, but we did catch Bass. No Walleye.
When the first real rain makes the river rise, then the Walleye will turn on. Some guys are picking up a Walleye or two, the but the bite isn't on yet. We need rain...this crazy weather
