I was Blessed with a good trip tonight. Art brought his two grandaughters for their annual Channel Cat Trip. These girls are so much fun and I am sure you will enjoy the DVD when I get it done. They had 17 Channel Cats tonight and the largest was 23". They caught them on the Team Catifsh Sudden Impact and Fiber Nuggest.

It was another poor bass bite this morning. Dean and Nate worked hard but only managed 5 Bass. A Kayaker at the ramp told us he managed 6 and another guide boat at the ramp managed 4 Bass. I am going back to the PM Bass Trips. We had 1 on a tube, 1 on a Chillie Willie and 3 on Top Water. We had 2 of our 5 fish that showed signs of an issue. I only got photos and samples of one as the other one got out of the net while I was going for the sample kit. This coming Thursday I will be participating in a press conference with the Susquehanna River Keepers. The amount of raw sewage being discharged into the Susquehanna River is not only unbelievable but it is unacceptable as well. We need to push our legislators to free up money to fix this issue.
This just happened #PRADCO #planooutdoors #topwaterfishing

I had a good time with my client and friend Tim tonight. We had 16 Smallmouth and we had 5 between 15-17". This is not a great outing by normal standards but it is a good outing for the way the river has been fishing this summer. Currently I think you can do as many fish in 4 hours as you can in a full day if you fish only the prime times. Dave scouted another area tonight with friends and they had 12. We caught 5 on Wacky rigged worms and the balance on Zell Pops.
Dad and I only caught 1 Flathead tonight but we had one cut us off and one broke the leader and it was a monster.
I went making bait this afternoon so dad and I can go scouting for Flatheads tonight. I will keep you posted.
When I go on my adventures I always utilize my PLANO Boxes and Storage Trunks. This clip indicates how I use these products to help make my adventures more rewarding. On this particular trip to Alaska we stayed at a lodge on an island and the travel back in forth to the main land was wet but that does not affect these boxes. I also used my PLANO Back Back to hike in a catch Salmon. Thank you PLANO for such great products. #PLANOOUTDOORS #Ilovealaska https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35oB4j20pgk

I was Blessed with a good trip last night as I had my best friend with me. I have been experimenting with fishing later in the day and this time it paid off. We had a plan to fish strickly top water and we fished from 6:30 PM to 8:45. Most of the fish were small but we mangaged to boat 16 Bass and they all came on the Excalibur Zell Pop. Color did not seem to matter as we used two differnt colors and they ate them both. Fishing is still poor but this was the best bass bite I had in months. We talked to two boats at the ramp that started earlier than us and the one boat had 7 bass and the other one had 9. We have been canceling many of our Bass Trips but the catfish fishing has been good. I canceled my Monday Bass trip but may run some trips later in the week if the clients want a top water small fish bite. We canceled my bass trips for today and tomorrow so if any one is looking for a 4 hour Channel Cat Trip today or tomorrow, please call me at 717-805-7082.
These are a couple photos from last night that Kim sent me.
Kim, Darren and I were scouting tonight from 5:30 to 8:00 PM and we landed 9 Smallies and we got them all on top water. Dave has a white perch trip tomorrow night if the weather holds out.
