Trip Summary

Week of October 6 the North Branch is at season low levels. A word to the wise unless you have a heavy bottom boat avoid the shallow lots of hull opening rocks just under the surface. The water temp is on the way up again back in the mid 60's the bite remaining very good. Most of my charters caught 50 plus smallmouth this past week. No one bait was really hot got them on a wide variety from senko ti topwater. Suppose to rain next week I'm sure that will get the crankbait bite going. Till next time Fish On.

As the summer winds down the Susquehanna Smallmouth become much more aggressive. The small finesse baits that are the normal for the summer will be replaced by much bigger more aggressive baits such as Jerk Baits, Crankbaits and Spinnerbaits. This is my favorite time of the year the fall foliage is beautiful the bugs have gone away and the Smallmouth and Walleye get very hungry plus the bonus Musky become more common. So if you want to experience a World Class Smallmouth Fishery give me a call and we will set something up. I have several helpers on staff so we can make it happen.
