  1. We had a lot of slime to deal with this week so we were limited to how much we could throw baits with treble hooks. Fishing has been difficult and we had to resort to live baits on numerous trips.

  1. The last day of Bass Season on the Lower Susquehanna is April 30th but don’t worry, Koinonia will still be here to serve you with Catfish Trips, Trips to Lake Marburg and trips on the North and West Branch of the Susquehanna where there is no closed season for bass.
