May the ensuing new year prove to be fruitful, and may trophy fish grace your continued kayak fishing and angling pursuits!!! CHEERS!!!
Eddy Rider and I hit the road to Sunbury last Saturday. We had two things to accomplish. First was to get a "maiden voyage" in for Anthracite Outfitters' latest addition to the fleet, a Native Mantaray 120.
We had out clients, Wade and Tom for a day trip on the Susquehanna. The weather forecast was for inches of snow changing to rain with wind. Lo and behold we got a break, and the weather turned out like this...
The fall bite is in full swing. We launched Saturday afternoon, fished, set camp, fished, and fished all day Sunday. We had our friend Jon Adams out with us as well.
We launched Saturday afternoon. The weather was overcast and misty, perfect for river kayakfishing. Finally the water got back to that greenish color we expect to see this time of year.
Right off the bat Dan hit a good 3#'er in our an area that is money on slash baits, spinners, and spooks. It's a 3' column of moderately swift moving water, with bowling ball sized boulders strewn across the bottom.
The first thing you need to do is cut your pre-formed blank in half.
You'll need to use shorter earring stems so the fit in the blank. I use these.
