  • Susquehanna, I just can't get enough.

    I had the fortune of finding of a 10 footer for my 12 year old daughter who has been begging me to take her kayak fishing. I wanted to test it out before it warms up in the spring when I can safely get her out. I put my friend Tyler (in the photos) in my Tarpon 12 and I tested out the Tarpon 10. We put in the Susquehanna below the dam and just decided to poke around and enjoy the pretty day. We headed up in the rocks and it was perfect. We were by ourselves. No fish in the shallows as was to be expected with the current temps. We paddled back down and jigged some BKD's in what I think was about 16 foot of water (still no FF on my yak) and we got into some sub legal schoolies. Tyler managed a fat smallie on an X-rap. The new 10 footer was solid and I am very excited about getting my daughter out when it warms up. Perfect weather and a nice day to be on the water.

    Very nice Mike! Better not get Tyler accustomed to the kayak, he will crush the leaderboard

        I was out on the flats yesterday morning. Was hoping the fog would subside instead it got worst. All I heard around me where gun shots and motors, so I paddle to the back side channel and did some perch fishing. A lot of yellow perch around. Once I got back to the launch, about 6 hunting boats were coming in. Well, that explained the gun shots. Still a great day.

              Hey Jeremy, In the 8-12" range. A guy on a glitter boat came speeding over asked how I was doing, he stated he caught a 14", Of course that was after he saw me pulling in fish. Really starting to like that back channel. I need to get up river in Backdocs fishing zone.
