Fishing Report April 7th

We wanted to give a quick fishing report to let everyone know what to expect this weekend.

The Goldsboro area of the Susquehanna River has picked up quite a bit. 1/8 oz brown and 1/8 oz black hair jigs are getting some nice smallies in the boat. Some jerkbaits are working too but due to the cold front that came in this week, the hair jigs are doing better for fisherman.

2 1/2 inch Right Bite tubes in Green Pumpkin, Roadkill and Green Pumpkin Purple Flake are doing very well for anglers too!

North of Harrisburg in the area of the Juniata River, anglers are reporting large smallies over 18 inches being caught on bucktail jigs and jerkbaits as well.

Fishing on Pinchot has slowed just a bit for crappies due to the recent cold front/high winds that came through. But they are getting some nice crappies over 15 inches up near the bridge. Average numbers per angler is around a dozen per angler per trip.

Bass fishing is still pretty slow. One angler reported catching a single bass on Thursday between 9 am and 3 pm. He also landed two musky though, on a Rat-L-Trap, near the Rossville bridge. One was just 40 inches and the other about 38 inches. That is the 7th and 8th musky we know of that has been caught in Pinchot in the last 10 days. Most of the musky have been caught up near the Rossville bridge as they are moving up there to spawn. The average water temperature on Pinchot right now is only 48 dgrees.

Weather for the weekend calls for some showers on Saturday but a much nicer day on Sunday with plenty of sunshine. Get out there and enjoy the weekend!
