I'm up here in stroudsburg/marshall creek area and was wondering if anyone could help me locate a decent place to bank fish, a spot to launch my kayak and possibly rent one for my gf, a decent tackle shop. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm not trying to spot burn just want an idea of where to head. Thank you

Well, the Delaware river offers some good bank action for smallies. I like the Bushkill boat launch area. Fernwood has some awesome ponds right next to 209, but the owners hate it when you fish there. You're not too far from Wallenpaupack for your kayaking needs. Dunkleburgers has two locations in your area and has a great tackle selection. I like their newer location. Then there is always Wallenpaupack Sport Shop and Hunters Gallery.

If you like to live dangerously, drive to the Milford/Dingmans Ferry area. Lots of small community lakes that get zero pressure with some awesome fishing opportunity.

Good luck!

There is a Dick's Sporting Goods in Bartonsville now that just opened a few months ago. That will definitely have the most tackle in the area by far.

 

As for bank fishing or kayak: Delaware River, Minsi Lake.

Hey thanks for your responses guys. Hit the Delaware river out of Bushkill and it was awesome. Will definitely be back
