Susquehanna Smallmouth Bass can’t match the size of the giants we catch in the north country but what they lack in size they make up with aggression and their ability to use the current to their benefit. We will show you how to target the biggest fish in the area using some of the newest technologies like Garmin Livescope and Hummingbird 360. We will show you how to use the smallmouths agressive nature to catch them. We use equipment from Hummingbird, Garmin, Minn-Kota. Millertech, Mercury Marine, Ranger Boats and RiverPro Boats. So if you’re looking to step up your Smallmouth fishing game to the next level give me a call and set up a trip. Also regarding river conditions Anything over 6.0 on the Wilkes-Barre gauge should be reschedule. Feel free to contact me about conditions.
These lakes have been featured in many national touring fishing derby‘s the results speak for themselves, Cayuga Lake holds the NYS State Smallmouth record at over 9 pounds. Lake Oneida also has a very healthy population of 5 to 7 pound fish in it. Either of these north country lakes can produce the fish of a Lifetime.
The Great Lakes along with connecting waterways are full of the largest smallmouth in the country. These waterways are loaded with Gobys and this is a recipe to grow giant Smallmouth . We catch 7 pound lunkers every year with many in the 6 pound range also. Spring and fall is the best time to target these Giants.
Lake Oneida is by far the premier Walleye fishery of the northeast. Most anglers routinely catch a limit of walleyes when we target them. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for these fish. The north branch of the Susquehanna River offers some very good walleye fishing at times with fish approaching 5 pounds. The fall is the absolute best time to target these fish.
My goal is to provide you with a memorable experience whether from battling a giant smallmouth or the breathtaking scenery the Historic Susquehanna River and Finger Lakes provide. I will share with you the techniques I have learned in my 50 years of bass fishing. I am a lifelong resident of NEPA and has been fishing this region over 50 year. After spending many years on various Bass Tournament Trails I moved to guiding on the Susquehanna River and Finger Lakes. I am a full time guide and spend about 250 days a year on the water. I am very knowledgeable on the latest techniques and lures. I will show you the latest techniques includping LiveScope,360 and review the basics to efficiently utilize your time. I understand not everyone wants to throw crankbaits or jerkbaits all day there are usually several patterns going on so I can usually accommodate other techniques you would rather try. l also have several other guides available so larger groups requiring more than one boat are welcome. All skill levels are also welcome. We will make whatever adjustments needed to make your trip an enjoyable and memorable experience.
