I took my buddy out on my boat to do some evening fishing. We were throwing around Alabama rigs and caught some striper and walleye. They were super shallow chasing bait. Casting at the bank and they would bite within first few cranks of the reel super fun time!

The fall season is starting to kick off on Beltzville Lake! We landed 10 smallies and 2 largemouth mostly a Z-Man MinnowZ and TRD. The key was finding the alewives in certain areas and the smallmouth would be bunch up around them. The key depths were in that 15-25' range. The water temperature is still 65 degrees but as it continues to drop in the next few weeks the fishing should just continue to pick up as the bass start getting shallower and putting their fall feed bag on! Beltzville is where I do guided trips, electronics classes and use to practice a lot of the techniques I take around the country. For more info head to graebuckfishing.com/#guide.
