Al’s Susquehanna Guide Service offers guided fishing trips on the Susquehanna River, St.Lawrence River, Lake Oneida and Cayuga Lake.
He supplies everything you need, just bring your rain gear and a fishing license!

You will fish aboard a 19’ RiverPro LoPro originally built in 2017. Powered by a 200 HP Mercury sport jet engine, this craft boasts a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots. Her sleek design allows you to efficiently run the river, even at its lowest levels. She comes equipped with a Minn Kota trolling motor and Hummingbird units. There is room on board for up to three passengers.

While fishing the North Branch of the Susquehanna River you can target Smallmouth Bass, some of the hardest fighting fish known to anglers. We also offer trips to the St. Lawrence River Lake Oneida along with Cayuga Lake. These are world class fisheries and the St. Lawrence was recently voted the best bass fishing in the US. Depending on the time of year, you are likely to reel in Walleye as well. I use live scope along with Hummingbird 360 on both of my boats so you will also learn how to use these modern electronics.

You will target your catch using light tackle and a variety of techniques. Depending on the species, you might try your hand at spinning, jigging, or popping. Your guide Al provides top-of-the-line fishing gear, featuring the craftsmanship of Shimano, St. Croix, Rapala, Suffex, Keitech USA, and Zman. Fly fishermen are welcome, just be sure to bring your own fly rod.

Trips run by Al’s Susquehanna Guide Service depart from Various locations on the North Branch Susquehanna river in PA located just a few miles from Interstate 81 and the northeast extension of the PA Turnpike. Be sure to bring a valid fishing license and your lunch.

Come aboard today and experience great freshwater sport fishing on the Susquehanna River. St. Lawrence River,  Lake Oneida or Cayuga Lake.

Fantastic 6 hours!
6 Hour Trip – Smallmouth Bass on August 22, 20252 adults
My husband Rodney and his friend were going to be at the LLWS and knew that Friday the 22nd was going to be a relax day with no ball games. I started investigating bass fishing tours. I’m sure other trips are good but I really liked Al’s informative website and his decades of experience. He was so responsive to my questions and I just had a good feeling about him. He provides everything but your drinks, snacks and sunscreen. He even sent a link for a fishing license. They had a ball! Rodney said that Al was informative, friendly and down to earth. He knew the “honey holes” and they caught about 25 good sized fish in only 6 hours. I feel like this was money well spent, they had a great time!
