Long time lurker.

Finally joined.

I'm in Bucks Cty but my family is from central PA so I fish there as well.

I usually start the season fly fishing, mainly for trout.

Last year targeting trout I hooked and landed my PB smallie of 3 lbs on Tohickan Creek near the mouth at the Delaware.

My parents used to live a few miles from Penns Creek.

They are now gone but I have a brother near state college so I still get up there a lot.

 

Then once the boat ramps are in I move to bass on various lakes.

Mainly Nockamixon in Bucks or Sayers in central PA.

 

I fish the lakes in both kayaks and my 17' fishing boat.

 

Now that I'm retired my goal is 100 days on the water in 2024.

 

My PB LM is an 8 lber I landed in a farm pond in NJ.  Unfortunately this is now a development and the pond is gone.

PB smallie from Lake Erie at 6 lbs.

 

I'm also a fly tyer and now experimenting on building my own crankbaits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

Nice Intro

Hi, BucksBasser. I admire your range, from a kayak to a 17-footer and from trout streams to Erie to bass lakes. I also admire this:

Great goal!

Welcome aboard BucksBasser. Great intro. 

Welcome! Good to have another Pa resident stomping around here.

Hi from the Sunshine State of Florida…… I think I cut my teeth on trout fishing. 

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to Bass Resource!

Welcome,  I'm also from SE PA.  I've fished both Nockamixon and the Tohickon over the years.  Like you I start off the season fly fishing for trout, but I don't put the fly rod down when the weather warms up. Mostly I fish the Wissahickon since it's close to me or head up to the Poconos and fish the lakes and ponds there.

Welcome aboard! 🤙🏻

Welcome. My main lake is Nock .. fish it in my Bonafide ss127 .. and in my buddies boat which is few and far between.. as he barley gets out and should just sell me his boat lol. 
 

 

Welcome!

Welcome

Welcome from a fellow newbie. 100 days on the water sounds like a dream!

Welcome from Kentucky!

If you fish Nockamixon - you should join the club Nock Mafia. It's a great club!
