1/24/08 Susquehanna river

[mr.fish]

With another weekend locked up with ice, I had no option but to fish a warm water discharge on the Susquehanna river again. The morning started out very slow. I spent the first 4 hours throwing an assortment of bombers, big blade baits, giant tubes, and just about every "big" lure I had, with no toothy takers. The water levels were very low, and costing me alot of tackle. Around 11, I gave up on the musky, and decided to target some smallies. By then, the winds were really kickin my ***. I'm pretty sure the winds were gusting over 30mph which turned the water into a choppy nightmare. Every cast I was missing hookups, or hung up. I was very dissapointed with the weather conditions, but at this place you can always guarentee a fish or 2. I landed about 15 or so smallies. All of which were suprisingly smaller then usually. I guess the crystal clear water, and low conditions made for smaller bites.
