  • Susky Flats 11/15/2013

    Fished the Susquehanna Flats this morning. Other than a few duck hunters on the water, it was a ghost town. Most of the grass has settled to the bottom, so trolling was very manageable. No luck with my new umbrella rig...so I went with what works best at the flats. Xraps and suspending jerkbaits. All colors worked today. Ended up catching 8 stripers....all between 14-16".

    The DNR fishing reports are saying that has been the typical catch there, stating it is the 2011 class. I can't tell the difference unless the year is on their graduation cap. I did find some new structure, seems to be rock/debris piles in the middle of the flats. I marked the spots on my GPS, knowing these will produce for me another time. My wife met me with a smoking hot pepperoni pizza....we ate it on the water watching the blue herons. Twas a great day! (keepers would have made it better)

    The first pic of the sun behind the clouds is fabulous. Nice fish too!

    A wife that brings Pepperoni pizza at the take out point? Priceless!

    I'm envious.

      Wow, that water looks so calm. Good job on getting out there this morning. Glad you got some action with the class of 2011.

            Sparky did not squeeze so hard on the first and second fish, but that turd fish -- oh boy!

                I saw good number of duck hunting boats, one looked like is was wearing a hula skirt. Forgot to mention, I got to tow my first bass boat to shore! I was launching next to a glitterboy launching his bass boat (trailer had chrome rims). His helper forgot to grap the rope went to boat came off the trailer. It sailed across the marina to the pier on the far bulkhead. Trying not to laugh, but giggling on the inside, I offered to tow his second mortgage back to the ramp....Hobie (1) bass boat (0)!

                  LOL! I can only imagine the smile you had on your face as you were towing the boat!

                  Nice work with the flats. Flats are to Jeremy like Weems is to John V.
