Smallmouth Slamfest on the Susky
 
7 Attachment(s)
I've been hearing great things about the smallie fishing on the Susquehanna for a few years, so I finally decided to take the plunge and book a guided trip. My brother and I headed out this morning and the guide launched us out of Duncannon at 8:00. It did not take us long to find the smallies, as we had our first double within a half hour. Action was very steady throughout the day, with almost all the spots we tried holding at least a few fish, and some holding ten or more. By our guide's count, we had caught 60 smallies between the three of us by the time we were off the water at 4:00. About half of them were over two pounds, including several threes, and a few fours. Tube jigs bounced slow on the bottom accounted for almost all our fish today. Eddies behind flooded islands were the main honey holes for the day. Water was high, and visibility was maybe 2 feet or so.

Below are a few pictures, which is just a small taste of what the upcoming video will hold. I'll update this thread once I get all the editing done. But bear with me, as I have a LOT of footage to go over. I may even need to make this vid a 2-parter!

Time to rest now. I'm tired, sore, and about as happy as I could possibly be!

EDIT: Part 1 of the video is done! Part 2 should be ready in the next couple of days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3_HVnRd7x4

Who was this guide? How much did he charge? Sounds like a great day of fun!

I love that river...only fished it twice but both times were great. Full of fish for sure. Sounds like you guys hit it at the right time too. Nicely done dude.
