Catch 22

A very versatile bait that can be used fast or slow, cast or vertical. Love `em but like to have at least 10' depth,and usually use them in colder water. Also give the Heddon Sonar a try. Some of them have rattles in the eye sockets. Heddon was the original blade bait. C22 FWIW,I catch several salt water species on them too.

Most T & T`s have a bypass valve usually operated with the twist of a screwdriver. With the motor up operate the valve to let it down. Now run the t -t motor for a while, maybe a minute. That should purge the air bubbles into the reservoir. Close by pass to check it.You may have to add oil and do this a coupla times. OR your O rings may be leaking==time for a rebuild Hope this helps C22

I used to fish the Frankford Arsonal area for stripers long ago,and would catch an occasional smallie and lmb. Lots of good looking shoreline up that way. Try around the Tacony P and Ross bridges. Also Petty Island area. Good luck C22

Great catch. You are obviously spoiled with fish like those to be had. What was the water temp.

Hey Coherence, I live about 25 minutes away from Wagamons. I resigned SF. You might know me as BB. Pic/bass together all the time and from personal studies I have done the pics don`t seem to eat bass very often. I didn`t use to like catching pickerel but they get me thru the winter round here.They eat everything that the lmb will take. After tasting some excellent deep fried northerns last summer, I may learn how to bone out a pickerel. C 22

Ditto what Rivaval said on the SB. It must also scare the crap out of them becasue I`ve seen them rocket across the water as to be running scared. Catch 22

Great vid,thanks.

Hello,new guy here. I will do my profile when I get a few minutes. Years ago,I took a 3 day float on a Pa river. The weather was merciless at 90,95 deg all 3 days. The only bait with any consistancy was a nose hooked Zoom pearl super fluke. Setting the hook quickly didn`t work well. A 2 or 3 second delay was the ticket.Also if you can,fish the low light periods and shaded areas. As Scott mentioned,the fast water will probably produce better. Good luck
