BUCKET list FISHING trip! (Susquehanna RIVER fishing!)

[@aaronbilansky374]

This is my home fishery. I just started Bass fishing and kayak fishing this summer. Your older videos actually helped me a lot and you lead me to Jeff and Jakes content. Thats a long winded way of saying thank you.

[@oldhunterdan]

You are giving away the secret creek fishing method. My father taught me that trick of fishing upstream on Penns Creek many many years ago. Fishing downstream disturbs the water below you. Clouds the water and dislodges insects that the fish feed on instead of your lures...love seeing your videos, especially on the Susquehanna, brings back many childhood memories of fishing with my father and uncle.....😍

[@kristinefischer2289]

That is awesome! Your dad is a smart man!

[@talesfromthecreek]

That river definitely is a special place! I can’t wait to get back!

[@johnjwedrall4290]

Man ! Looks like a beautiful day 😍 you look wonderful too 😊 fishing as you do makes for a healthy hobby 😀

[@bernietmusic]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride today! Your attitude and enthusiasm are inspiring, and comforting!! Good luck in your upcoming tournament!

[@jamesstauffer7751]

I've lived on this river my hole life I would trade everything she has for one lure and when they have kayak tournament's there some of the most disrespectful people on the river we've had words on several occasions

[@johnwhite993]

Just finished Jeff Littles video with y’all. Your excitement is so awesome. Your are definitely the queen of fishing.

[@Spacecadet0730]

Love fishing the Susque! Caught my PB smallie there this past August at just over 5lbs and 20.25 inches!

[@charliespade723]

It was fun stopping at the different boat launches this past week talking to some of the fisherman you were right about landmarks I fish the river all the time living only eight miles to the closest boat launch I knew exactly where you were at

[@kristinefischer2289]

I ended up fishing my Tournament about 9 miles down from this area. But man it’s all good!!

[@charliespade723]

A group of friends do a float every year from shady nook to port trevorton for catfish and bass in July I caught a tank of a smallmouth at the old bridge piers in port trevorton and went out Wednesday before the tournament with my kids at Liverpool but didn’t catch a thing was more just a boat ride with the kids

[@johndrx165]

Good idea to give them something a little different and a substantial meal.

[@kristinefischer2289]

I think so too!

[@guyfoscone3193]

Great video...still waiting for my Nessie from Tackle warehouse.

[@madhunter_87]

"I'll never do that during a tournament" expect when you forget the net lol 🤣😜 Awesome fish, and Jeff is a great guy I met him last year on the Susqy!

[@FishinwithGRAMPS]

So jacked for these videos, trying to suck up as much "learnin" from you as I can to chase these bronze beauties - JT

[@stevewalter517]

Susquehanna river 🤘 I'll be there next weekend. Doing some fall fun fishing. I hope I can catch them like you 👍

[@curvinh6289]

Launch anywhere between Harrisburg and Sunbury my dude! Unlimited potential

[@stevewalter517]

[@kristinefischer2289]

What you said! That’s all I fished and you can smash them out of ANY ramp in that area!

[@nancymills5993]

I live in upstate NY and went bank fishing Friday on the Susquehanna and they were on fire and caught smallmouth from smalls to 2 1/2 lbs. it was my best day all summer!! Whacky rig was the bait of the day!!

[@kristinefischer2289]

It’s such an epic river !

[@curvinh6289]

I love throwing rats in the susky! They absolutely crush them

[@kristinefischer2289]

It’s insane!

[@johnnysmall4206]

That sure is a big old Brownie ❤❤❤✌✌✌

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

first off I absolutely love that you can stand on the bow of your kayak. I cannot do that on my old town 120pdl

[@lancemabry6707]

Did you make the Bassmaster Kayak Classic??? Don’t know how many get to go but definitely hoping you did!!!

[@kristinefischer2289]

I DID!!!! Spoiler alert ;)

[@agentwynnoutdoors]

I've never been to the susky but after your video I might have to take a gander. I don't have a torqueedo just a Xi3. Not sure how that would fair on that river.

[@kristinefischer2289]

You’d be just fine with an Xi4!

[@kristinefischer2289]

3**

[@justintaylor883]

What model is the spinning reel you are using to throw the swimbait?

[@kristinefischer2289]

Abu Garcia Revo rocket- love it

[@neilshaffer7157]

I've been fishing the Susquehanna River my whole life and I've caught and released some giant smallmouth bass

[@VictorVectorMusic]

Whats wrong with a senko? Love senkos, fish catching machines.

[@davish6504]

Can you please tell me your location. I’m locate here in south FL is not to many river over here and I want to try fishing in a river like that one. Thank you’re the best!!

[@kristinefischer2289]

This is the Susquehanna river in Pennsylvania! Out of Harrisburg

[@RonnyWesterlund]

As always I love your videos. Did you sneeze ? If I remember right there is an episode on Seinfeld there thay change "Bless you " to "God you are beautiful" when someone sneeze. Soo God you are beautiful. I really love your videos to my morning coffee.. Ron from Sweden

[@robertcardwell6019]

What is your favorite color in the Nessie?

[@brucesheehe6305]

The Smallies have recovered from the depressed levels of a few years ago.

[@TheFishingMommy]

This is where I fished Sunday! Caught all the babies whose mamas y’all traumatized.

[@kristinefischer2289]

🤣🤣🤣 you kill me

[@TheFishingMommy]

@@kristinefischer2289 lol it’s the truth tho

[@bryceybasses]

Local PA guy here. The Susquehanna is only an hour or so from me… where do you launch your kayak? I’d love to try that spot. Thanks!

[@outdoorsmendeh]

The Susky and it's tributaries are always a smallie bang fest!

[@kristinefischer2289]

It’s incredible

[@MrCaissed]

Hi Kristine, I have never caught anything on a wake bait.. so I’m Jealous. Plus I’ve never caught a small mouth.i use to own a wooden John boat. It was ornate and I absolutely loved it. But that was 35 years ago. I don’t have any kind of water craft. There’s a 1969 seasprite on a trailer in my yard again it’s not mine. And if it was I don’t think my ten speed bicycle or my heart ❤️ could move it. No vehicle. I was a first responder for 6 months and fell 30ft. I’ve been disabled since my mid thirties. Sorry I went pop and my hand couldn’t stop writing all this. Sorry Kristine. I tried a go fund me page but I didn’t know what I was doing and didn’t set it up correctly. 2 really bad surgeries this year and I almost died so I don’t want to leave this world or my total family not being remembered for??

[@stevehogan8829]

on the rat!!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Best bite 👊🏻

[@HookAh-snookfishing]

If I know what is going on/ what I'm doing from experience why do I need to experiment.....

[@academicmailbox7798]

Upstream casting, the real truth is if you talk to any streamer fly anglers (who all fish this way when wading shallow rivers). One has to shorten casts (impossible to fully control bait presentation with longer upstream cast). My hunch is too, or if it was me. If I was confident in my boat position, I'd idle drift down river a few yards. After a shorter up river cast (that would just put a little more tension on line, or prevent line from developing way too much slack). So that when fish takes, you're set up to provide tension from rod to bait. A big reason that lots of fish are hard to connect with is that, in up river casts. The amount of line slack which develops in up river casts, means that one has to shorten the casts.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Down river floats, combined with down river casting is totally different. As one doesn't have to deal with any of that (it all works with you, rather than against you). I agree though, using the up river journey directions, you can approach and find fish you never would on downstream floats. But just bear in mind, it's seldom practical to bomb cast up river with any bait presentation up river (fly fishing, swim bait, top waters or any thing). I don't know if certain braids work better to sink under water, or not. That can be a thing too in fly fishing. We work with slow sink density lines at times in this situation (floating density lines are easier, but it's hard to make a bigger profile lure do anything over a short up river cast and retrieve back, unless one's line is down a distance in the wated). I's say go with larger diameter braids (the bait is getting retrieved downriver at speed ideally, so line diameters will hardly affect bites). And the larger diameter braid might keep oneself in contact better with lure, to make it work from the action perspective. Shorter casts, more action and keeping more in contact with the lure (things that one doesn't worry about as much floating down river, where one can cast into infinity). Up river casting, you can't get away with that at all.

I'm literally holding my sides listening to the darth vader getit,getit,getit,voice!😂😂😂👍👴🦸‍♀️🎣🇺🇸🦅

[@kristinefischer2289]

🤣🤣 it’s pretty silly I know

[@mmgee]

Fun to watch! Do you have an awesome camera

[@gbwhitewarrior]

The problem is not your rod you over pull on the fish ,you miss a lot of fish for a professional it’s not the rod ,hopefully you’ll learn you cannot pull so far back and have slack in the line and expect the fish to stay on your line. Watch yourself and you’ll see what I am talking about pool and keep the tension you over pull

[@michaelmontalbano772]

@kristinefischer2289 awesome video as usual, what’s the reel / line set up u prefer ?

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you so much! For this little swimbait I’m running 15 lb Berkley X9 braid with a 12 lb fluoro leader. The reel is the Abu Garcia rocket
