A Banner Day

Vinny and Dennis were back at it on Lake Wallenpaupack for yet another voyage.  Their final days of summer jaunt seen an ideal day with light wind, comfortable temps, and mostly sunny skies overhead.  These two are no strangers to this lake or successful days here and today would be no different.  Dennis not long out of the gates hooked into and battled out a hybrid striper that posed for a photo in the early morning light.  That set the tone as the day would be filled with good quality fish.  Vinny would catch a big striped bass as seen below after a back and forth melee before getting that fish into the net and getting a picture with this fine specimen.  Vinny would also catch his personal best smallmouth bass at this lake of 20" as shown below and also released back into the lake.  The pair also caught several other smallmouth bass and about a dozen or so nice perch during the outing.  Dennis as usual was kind enough to provide a lunch for the entire boat which is deeply appreciated as always.  Another great outing for these two friends and we look forward to seeing them back again very soon for another adventure.

Jerry & Kim

Avid fishermen Jerry was back out with Legends Outdoors for another adventure.  This time around he brought along his wife Kim for a New York State voyage.  The day was unseasonably hot and stagnant with bright blue skies.  The couple used Keitech Baits and seigned the clear waters with light line tactics.  They had a great day catching many a smallmouth bass, perch, and rockbass during the outing.  They had some tasty sanwiches and conversed about many topics as they soaked in the fresh air and enjoyed their time together out on the water.  

Late Summer Smallmouth Smackdown

Legends Outdoors regulars of Jim and Dennis from the Kapsize Crew were back out on scenic Lake Wallenpaupack for some late summer action.  They had an ideal day in the low 80's with light winds and blue skies for their outing.   They brought along their wives for the adventure and what an adventure it would be!  Using strictly live bait the group of four had magnificent action from smallmouth bass.  They caught in the area of 30 smallmouth bass with many being in the hefty size range.  With all the action, amazingly enough they did not catch another species....just a bunch of beautiful bronzebacks.  They also enjoyed a nice shore lunch prepared by Legends Outdoors consisting of fresh fried perch, their famous macaroni salad, potato chips, and cold beverages.  A great all around day for the group and we at Legends Outdoors appreciate their continued dedication to our service and we look forward to having them back again next year for more outdoor adventures.

Bill & Joan

Legends Outdoors faithful of Bill and Joan were back out for a 2nd time in 2024.  Their early September day seen a mix of sun and clouds with a good bit of wind hammering away during the outing.  The happy couple gave the fish a steady diet of Keitech Baits in the low 70's water temperature.  The local anglers caught a pickerel and several smallmouth bass and yellow perch during the day.  Joan made some homemade zucchini bread and was kind enough to bring it for the guide which is deeply appreciated.  Many good conversations were had during the fishing day about cooking, cars, and fishing as they patrolled the lake in search of their quarry.  Joan cooked up some of the yellow perch they caught and kindly sent in a photo as seen below.  Another great overall outdoor experience for Bill and Joan.

Joe & Crew

Joe who is and avid hunter and fisherman went out for a day on Lake Wallenpaupack with his crew of friends.  An ol' buddy was in town who he hunts with was with him on this journey.  These first time clients used live bait in their approach and had a solid day of fishing.  They caught several smallmouth bass and yellow perch during the day and it was highlighted by a 27", 8 lb. walleye.  The group shared in many stories about hunting, fishing, and a variety of other topics.  They also had some tasty sandwiches and cold beverages on this summer day.  A fun day was had by all and we would like to thank Joe and his crew for coming out with Legends Outdoors on scenic Lake Wallenpaupack.

Taking Time to Relax

Ray's annual trek took place in late August on a beautiful day on Lake Wallenpaupack.  He brought along his friends Cooter and Stew.  They also were accompanied on the trek by Cooter's son Brendan.  The day was about rest, relaxation, fishing, and friends getting together to just enjoy a day out on the water.  They fished with both live bait and Keitech Baits and caught smallmouth bass and perch during the day.  They grilled food, went swimming, listened to music, had some beverages, cigars, and just a good ol' time out on the water.

Reelin' in the Years and Fish

Returning clients of George along with Freddy's crew got together for a day on Lake wallenpaupack. This group of high school friends and acquaintances set out on an ideal fishing day on the Legends Outdoors pontoon boat.  They use live bait in their approach as they strolled about the lake in search of their quarry.  They brought along quite a variety of foods and drinks and had some wonderful conversations about many different topics during the day. They had excellent action and caught a hefty striped bass that was quite a battle, a northern pike, several nice smallmouth bass, and some yellow perch to round out their catch.  A fun time was had by all and we appreciate this group coming back again this year and look forward to hosting them for many years to come.

Ideal Day Delight

Dennis and Vinny were back out again with Legends Outdoors for yet another pontoon boat trip on Lake Wallenpaupack.  This time they brought along Dennis' grandson Duffy and his friend Noah for a day of fishing on this scenic lake.  It was a very pleasant day for fishing weatherwise on this legendary waterway.  They used live bait in their approach and had outstanding success.  Duffy and Noah each landed a striped bass after a ferocious battle that posed for a picture before being returned to the lake.  They four anglers also caught several perch and smallmouth bass including a double by the two youngsters during the outing. What a day out it was with plenty of action and fun had by all.  A special thanks to Dennis for organizing the trip and bringing along a vast amount of food for all to enjoy.

Shawn and Pepperoni Jack Fish the "Pack"

Shawn took his nephew Jack out for a day of fishing on scenic Lake Wallenpaupack.  They were confronted with a mostly cloudy day with high winds out of the NW reaching 20+ MPH.  This did not deter the duo as they used strictly Keitech Baits and casted their way about the lake.  These PA residents caught well into the double digits of fish mostly consisting of smallmouth bass.  They also caught a striped bass mixed in during the day as a nice bonus.  Shawn brought along some tasty hoagies for all to enjoy.  Jack however preferred a high diet of pepperoni thus giving him his nick name.  The uncle/nephew duo had a great time fishing the lake with plenty of action and we hope to see them back again in future for another outdoor adventure.

MOOSIC CREW

Local crew from Moosic, PA of Dave, Wild Bill and Joe decided to take a trek aboard the Legends Outdoors pontoon boat on Lake Wallenpaupack.  They talked for some time about getting this trip together....and it finally came to fruition.  They were faced with blue skies and a steady wind on this Monday in August.  They used live bait in their approach and had some really good steady action.  They landed several smallmouth bass, perch and a 27" walleye!  They harvested the walleye and Dave who likes to cook eventually made a nice fish meal with this tasty fish.  They brought along some sandwiches, beverages and plenty of conversations about hunting, fishing, and music.   What a great day out it was for the Moosic Crew and we look forward to seeing them back again for another outdoor adventure.
