+1 with skunk.

Even some of bigger rivers up here have some great fishing too.

Take the ride to Spruce Run. It was the first placed I launched at when I got my yak. You won't be disappointed. The hybrids are well worth the trip.

thanks for all the feed back guys..hopefully I'll be able to update everyone on some good fishing reports. I should be starting to get out next weekend

Spruce run, round valley, assapink, furnace lake, giving pond in PA, south branch from camp karr to below duke island are also fantastic.

The run from camp karr to just outside flemington has fantastic smallie populations.

Went to Furnace with 2 other buddies last Sunday. Cold front, no action. The 3 of use caught one dink bass.
On my way home I stopped at a local pond, not a single hit in an hour. I was sight casting at the fish, they wanted nothing to do with my baits.
Going to try again this Sunday, but the weather is looking cold. Might be the same outcome.

I fished assinpink last sat for the 1st time. I pcaught a bunch of crappie 1 small large mouth and a few white perch . That is not a Great Lake for a hobie

wondering why you say that? assupink is on my list of "lakes I used to fish as a kid 20 years ago that I want to return to with my hobie one day"

It was my 1 st there and don't know the lake but almost every part of the lake I was in was too shallow and had to pull my drive and rudder
