8. The cooling water temperature is making the bass fishing better and the Walleye fishing should continue to build as well.
9. Please write the Fish and Boat Commission and express your concerns to them. We can provide you with email addresses if you need them.
10. Last Tuesday we had PAFB Commission Executive Director, John Arway, out on the river with us and we got to express our thanks and concerns to him. I would like to see a slot limit on the Flatheads to protect the big fish. I would like to see them add the tributaries to the catch and release regulations for Bass. I would like to see them cut the creel limit on Walleyes to 3 per day and only one over 22”.
11. I have been invited and have accepted to shoot a half hour TV Show with Alex Zidock covering what is happening with the Susquehanna River. This is a local show that runs in the Pocono Area. On Tuesday, November 9th my wife, Linda, and I will be traveling to Mt. Pocono to shoot this show.
12. I understand there was a special meeting held this past Thursday evening at Susquehanna Fishing Tackle to discuss how to get the catch and release regulation repealed. Please let them know at the store your opinion on this issue. I can provide contact information for you if you like.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND LUV THE TUG………REB
