Dog days of Summer!!!

Fish with Shallow Water Fishing Adventures and experience the river like never before. The water is getting low and clear. We are catching smallmouth on wacky rigs and swimbaits.

We have been catching trophy smallmouth all summer long in the early mornings and on late afternoon trips. Fish with me your guide Jeff Greene of Shallow Water Fishing Adventures and chase your next personal best river smallmouth.

This month has brought consistent weather we have not seen in the month of February for several years. The upper Potomac River gauge at Edwards Ferry is showing just over 5 feet. The gauge at Point of Rocks is showing just over 3 feet with water temperatures in the mid 40's. The Susquehanna River at the Harrisburg gauge is showing just over 5 feet. Spring is just around the corner and the smallmouth will be thinking about spawning in the near future. Before they spawn they like to stage in certain areas close to spawning locations. One type of area they like to stage in, is on island points in the middle of the river. Right now we have been catching fish on SWFA Tubes, 4 inch swimbaits, small Zman Baits and suspending jerkbaits. Target shoreline eddies and shoreline areas that have very slow moving water. The bite has been very light. The bite will be a light tap on the end of your line. When you feel that tap, you need to set the hook right away. Good luck on the water and be careful. Always wear safety gear when on the river.
