Smallmouth Fishing on the Susquehanna River! Catching a bunch of Smallmouth Bass in a Jet Boat!

Smallmouth Fishing on the Susquehanna River! Catching a bunch of Smallmouth Bass in a Jet Boat!

So I spent the day with Joe Raymond who owns Susquehanna Smallmouth Guides. This was my first time ever fishing out of a jet boat for smallmouth bass and what an experience. The Susquehanna river is by far the best smallmouth fishing in this area I have ever experienced! It is full of fish and even though we had a cold front come in we still managed to catch a few good fish!. I can't wait to get back on the Susquehanna to fish for smallies! I love this place!

The bite was mainly top water in the morning so I was using a spook and we also caught fish on a Lucky Craft Sammy. The tube and jig bite was also pretty good for us. The Zman plastics worked real well and put some real good smallmouth in the boat.

Travis Manson's Guided Bass Fishing Trips

__________________________________________________________________

Who is SmallmouthCrush?

Travis Manson was born and raised where the giant Smallmouth Bass of the north live...WISCONSIN. He started fishing from the bank at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite Series for a number of years, until he ran out of $$ money $$. This led to a move across the country to the Northeast where he got things right again and is back on track, but now on his own terms. Perhaps he will make another run at the Elite Series if the opportunity allows. In the meantime, he is a fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round), guided trips for smallmouth back in Wisconsin (during select times) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York (May-November) His Youtube Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict! Hope you enjoy!

In 2013 I spent 2 months working at the Brunner island power plant. I fished about every day on the Susquehanna river. Wow! What a absolute beautiful river and great fishery. The fishing wad definitely the best part of the 2 months there.

[galada]

Where about on the river were you guys fishing? It looked like a great stretch of water.

[GuppyGTmoney]

can you make a video how to read a river?, because i still having a hard time learning how to fishing in a river mygold this years is to hook up some giant smallies from a susquehanna river.

[FastEddy]

Jets are great in rivers like this, but as soon as you try to go over a weed bed, they clog up. As with everything, something gained but something sacrificed.

[MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now...

[masonbrubaker]

I live right on the susky so if you ever want to head out on another jet boat I'll take you out just tell me

[jamesmoore]

Only thing that stops them is mud and vegetation

[tedskam]

One thing. You guys in the jet boats should respect the guys wading in this river. I've been swamped WAAAAY too many times by assholes yee-haaaawing their way up the river.

[MrCoffeekelly]

That dude broke off more fish in that video than I have all year. Stupid.
