I would contact Susquehanna Fishing Tackle. They are located in the Harrisburg area and sell all the tackle and gear that is needed for the upper Susquehanna. They have a section on their website for guide services and can likely recommend a good guide.

Have you ever fished the upper Potomac? I went out on the upper Potomac (Lander up to just south of Harpers Ferry) with a friend of mine that owns a jet boat. We caught good size smallmouth all day using a tube. Have to love those river smallmouth - they fight way more than any bass you will catch in the Tidal Potomac or upper Bay.

Awesome baits to use on the upper Potomac and Susquehanna ---

Thanks to you both! Do either of you have personal experience fishing with either of these guide services?

Fortunately I have a buddy with a jet boat that has years experience fishing the upper rivers. I have not used any guides on the upper rivers.

I have a 20 foot Champion Bass Boat and mainly fish the Tidal Potomac and Upper Bay.

Yes. Jesse has been fishing the Susquehanna his whole life. He knows every inch of it. He is also one of my bro's best buds up there and he too knows the river well , though he doesn't guide(he's a famous fish artist). Jesse's a mad man when I comes to fishing up there. Either way you go, I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Hey Peacock and Outrider its possible we know each other. I run a 20' red/wht Javelin. Been with the MBN for a very long time. How about you guys.

Tdt91.... You wouldn't happen to be associated with a bass club that runs tournaments out of Havre De Grace. River Ratz? I use to fish your Memorial Day Tournament. A few years ago (4-5) my buddy Matt and I finished 2nd and won some $$$$. The other years we finished down in the pack....

Matt's wife passed away 3 years ago and since then things haven't been the same. Between that and my kids getting older and playing travel sports I seldom fish tournaments anymore.

Just saw some of your posts on BBC and have seen some of yours on Ultimate Bass. We use the same member names.

not sure. I don't fish tournaments. started out fishing north (DC) in 2000 but, mostly run out of Leesylvania for the last few years, though I didn't get out much last year. I will be on the look-out for window stickers this year.

Hey Peacock, are you in a club? If not are you interested?
