Late October seen George and Ricky of Montgomery County, PA and Dave of Hartford, CT on the beautiful Susquehanna River for their annual trek. Their back to back days seen the day one with water
temps from 43 to 45 degrees, the water clarity was good and it was partly sunny
with north winds about 10 mph. These three are long time friends who share many
fishing trips dressed for the chilly temperatures that they faced. The Susquehanna did not disappoint as Ricky landed his personal best walleye that was just shy of seven pounds. As a group they caught many Smallmouth in the 14 to 17
inch range and it seemed like every other word was “get the net” as the action was fast and furious. Main bait today was
Keitech swimbaits in various sizes, they caught a couple on other baits but
Keitech was the bait main player. As always, all fish were released unharmed. On day two of the North Branch adventure the air temps were in the low 30's to start and reached near 50 by the end of their day. Water clarity was good and the wind was light and variable, almost a perfect fishing day despite the frigid air temps. This was an "off the chart" type of day as this group landed about 150
Smallmouth and six walleye. Ricky landed biggest bass that was over 17 inches and
Dave landed the biggest Walleye that was a little over 20 inches in length. About 1/3 of their smallmouth exceeded 15 inches making it not only a huge numbers day, but with excellent size! Again
today Keitech swimbaits were the go to bait. “On The Spot Baits” also
accounted for a healthy number of fish. Legends Outdoors was once again glad to host their annual journey to the Susquehanna River and it was an incredible one at that as many memories were made on this one and we look forward to their 2019 adventure.
