Learning the Ropes

Kirk recently acquired a place up at Lake Wallenpaupack and wanted to get involved in figuring out how to catch stripers on this scenic waterway.  He gathered up friends/co-workers Andrew and Stephen and went out with Legends Outdoors to learn about the patterns and techniques involved in catching these elusive fish.  An early fall day brought very typical fall weather; overcast with a light breeze and cool temperatures.  They started on their mission and stayed on it for a while and then...WHAM! The strike occurred and they were hooked up with a fall striper as it played tug-o-war with these anglers until it was eased into the net and a photo taken.  There were plenty of laughs and cheers as they got their sought after fish.  They fished for the remainder of the day while having some snacks and beverages and learning the layout of the lake and techniques.  They also had some bonus action as all three rods were hooked up at once and each angler caught a smallmouth bass to also get in a photo before being released as a school was ignited and fed eagerly.  They also landed several more smallmouth bass and a perch or two on this day while enjoying time out together and just having a good old time.  Kirk and his friends will now apply these techniques to their own adventures and we wish them all the best look forward to hearing their success stories.
