Tax Day Tango at Lake Wallenpaupack

Brian and his father-in-law Paul took a trip out recently with Legends Outdoors.  These avid anglers have 30 plus years of fishing the lake with living very near it for several decades.  They wanted to delve into more patterns and strategy for fishing this very challenging body of water.  The two men set out on a day with mostly sun and just a tinge of clouds here and there.  The water was in the upper 40's and on the rise with the warmer temperatures recently coming in.  The plan was to use hard baits and Keitech Baits in their approach while searching for the quarry.  Bites were few and far between, but sticking to the plan and showing versatility proved to be a huge key as they were rewarded greatly with some very good quality.  They caught a giant crappie, a smallmouth bass, a pickerel, a couple perch, and a striped bass that put up quite a battle and posed for a photo before being released.  It was a tremendous specimen indeed as it was a personal best striper for the duo and puncuated a day to remember for these anglers!
