Nov 20, 2009 - Susq River

I decided that I wanted to check out some new areas and maybe learn a few new tricks, so I called up my buddy Dave Shindler and hooked up for a trip today.

We met up at Fort Hunter at 7 am and hit the water. The day started out decent. We were on a slow but steady bite and landed ~ 18 fish by 10am or so. Unfortunately, the wind just got out of control and made it very difficult to detect strikes (keep in mind that the water temp was about 47 degrees), so we decided to make a run to an area less influenced by the wind...Goldsboro.

So, we pulled the boat and made the ~ 30 minute drive downriver. Well, it was certainly less windy, but still post frontal conditions and a tough bite. We managed another 10 or so fish and ended up just short of 30 fish for the day.

No monsters today, but a few in the 3.5 to 4 lb range.

Daved worked his butt off as he always does, to get us on fish, even with difficult conditions. Thanks Dave, and we'll get on them better next time.

If you are interested in fishing with a top-notch guide on the Susquehanna, I would strongly encourage you to give Dave a call. You can find his contact info over in the list on the right side of my blog.
