Jason Zimmerman

Member since April 2025 Middletown, United States
Background
I am native to the Harrisburg area. As a kid I spent my summers fishing both the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers. For many years actually living on the Susquehanna. Currently i live in a small community 15 minutes from the river and spend my time running my 2 kids to their activities or doing something in the outdoors. Either hunting or fishing. I’m experienced at navigating the waters of the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers as well as Sayers lake and I’m ready to take you on a therapeutic fishing excursion. There is nothing like being on the water at sunrise or sunset. The rivers are known for Smallmouth Bass and Sayers is know for excellent Crappie fishing and i find it enjoyable putting you on both.
Techniques
We will use quality light to medium light spinning gear to target Smallmouth. We will throw many types of baits from Neds, swimbaits, crankbaits and flukes.
