Summer Sale/River Report
Just a reminder that our Summer Blowout Sale starts tomorrow when we open at 7 am! The sale runs through 5 pm on Sunday. Awesome deals and free lunch on Saturday so stop in and get your tackle!
The river is falling with a forecasted level of 3.6 by the weekend at Harrisburg. This means wade fisherman will have access to lots of different areas now. Anglers that do float trips will find some nice floatable water. Jet boat fisherman will need to use caution of course.
River anglers stopping in the shop offer a mixed report. Some anglers reported catching up to 100 smallmouth bass per 2 anglers in a 10 hour day. Other anglers reported catching 10 to 12 smallmouth bass per 8 hour day. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. If you find yourself fishing an area that is fishing slow, don't hesitate to move to other areas. The bass are there and hungry, you just need to find the best location for the time of day you are fishing.
Most bass in the river are being caught along current seams below large rock ledges. Grass beds are starting to heat up too as the level drops. Crankbaits, tubes and soft jerkbaits are what anglers are catching most of the fish on this week.
Catfish anglers are doing very well on shiners and raw shrimp fishing the river in many different areas - Fort Hunter, Duncannon, Goldsboro, Marietta and below the York Haven Dam.
Pinchot bass anglers still report slow fishing. Tuesday night's lunker tournament only yielded 8 largemouth bass weighed in for 56 anglers. Lunker was right at 3 1/2 lbs. The best bet for Pinchot Lake is using plastic worms in water at least 12 feet deep. Don't hesitate to bottom bounce a 1/2 oz or larger spinnerbait on deep drop offs.
