April 4, 2010 - Susquehanna River

Finally...the river is coming down. It's still high and muddy, but at least it's fishable again. The gauge at Harrisburg was about 7 ft and falling.

Debbi and I hit the water at about 10:00 am and fished until about 2:00 pm.

It was an adventure today...
We saw a Bald Eagle on a nest along the river.
We heard little frogs in a bog, singing their hearts out.
Debbi caught her first Tiger Musky!














While we were taking pics of the musky, the boat drifted under a large overhanging branch of a tree. The limbs were so long that they reached into the water. As we drifted under it, the branch acted like a giant muddy mop and got mud all over the boat...what a mess!

After we released the musky and were cleaning up the boat, I found out that apparently there was a snake in that overhanging branch...and now it was in the boat, LOL. So, I had to catch the little guy and toss him back on the bank.















Debbi ended up catching (2) smallies and the Tiger Musky. I ended up with (10) smallies. Biggest smallie of the day was just about 4 lbs. (didn't weigh it)
