FISH ON!!

Wow, that is the only word I can use to describe fishing on Saturday. WTC member Jeff, me (Shane), and good friend Scott Stenta (Scooter) were out on the Flats again for a full day of action! We were on the water at sunrise and didn't get off till about 3 in the afternoon. We hammered the Rockfish from the first cast to the last. Our first two catches of the day came on the first two casts, and they were about a 30 inch Cow and a 38 inch Cow, caught by my Dad and I. I think all 3 of us together caught about 60 total, of course it is the catch and release season. We did hook into a monster fish, when it took the lure it swam off and almost took all the line out of my reel. So dad got the boat in reverse and we backed up onto the fish, and when we got even with it to where I could start to reel it in, the fish came off. But to our surprise when I reeled it in, there was a scale on the hook about a little bigger then a quarter. So that right there shows the fish was bigger then the 38 inch Cow we caught. I guess that fish will go down as a legend and a myth now! I know that I had an awesome day and I am sure Dad and Scooter did also. It was unbelievable day and I wouldn't trade it for anything else! There is also a video in the making, so be watching out for that! Below are some pictures of the day. Let us know what ya think on Facebook!

Fishing Strong!

Well as you all know, the break between Deer Season and Turkey Season can seem like the longest and most boring wait. Well for us to pass time, we get out and go after some rock fish. About this time every year the Rock fish make there way up to the Susquehanna Flats and we got out and just have fun. WTC member Jeff and Chris have had the opportunity to go out a lot! They did some early season flounder fishing as seen on earlier posts and over the past couple weeks they have made some trips out to go after the Stripers. We have had a good amount of success with some smaller ones, but haven't gotten into the big boys yet. My Dad and I went out Monday and it was a rough, windy, cold day but we hung in there and didn't get skunked! No Rocks but we did manage to catch a nice Largemouth Bass. So it was worth every second of that trip. We have been drifting through 7-10 feet of water while jigging and using rattletraps. It has worked so far, so if you manage to make it out to the Flats give that a try and let us know how you do! Below is some pictures of our success:
