Couldn’t ask for better spring day on the River. Warm, water had a little color to it and was a foot higher than normal. We caught them throwing a handful of baits but the cricket seemed to be the top producer of quality bites. We didn’t catch any spawners but can’t be far off they were about busting at the seams. If you live close and never fished these rivers you need to. These fish claw and fight every day and it shows when you hook one.

Bass were in all stages of spawn but water came up 3 feet and was pretty stained. Took a little to find them again but seemed like every current break or tree in the water had fish around it. Fun morning on the river lots of healthy fish including one over 5 lbs. which is pretty big here in central pa. That thunder cricket/spunk Shad is a nasty combo. Was shocked how many fish you could catch on one trailer. Will be def buying more.
