The Fishing Report CAPTAIN BRIAN Exceptional Smallmouth Fishing By Captain Brain Immekus As I noted in my last article, when the striped bass catch and release season closed, I was heading to the Susquehanna River for smallmouth bass fishing. The area I concentrate on is above the Conowingo Dam a few miles below the Holtwood Dam. Directions to the PA Muddy Run boat ramp are on my website if any of you readers are interested. This area is what I will call “smallmouth heaven” during the spring spawn. The rock formations are a result of volcanic activity well before our time on this planet. A brisk current is present due to the power company raising and lowering the water level in order to generate electricity. The rocks provide current breaks and this is where the smallies will be. All my first time customers are marveled at the unique rock formations and natural beauty of the area. I had 15 guided trips there in the last 3 weeks. Most days ended with a catch of 20-30 smallies with bigger fish being in the 3-4 lb. (18”-20”) range. During the spawn, these fish will make beds in protected areas where current will not wash away the eggs. Casting a tube, senko or small finesse worm in these areas and bouncing it back off the bottom is the primary pattern. Casting accuracy, a controlled line and watching the line, will enhance the catch. My color preference is green pumpkin but that is secondary to hitting the smallies on their nose. A strong hook set is then needed to finalize the catch. Watching these smallies do a tail dance on the retrieve to the boat is a sight to see and why fisherman love smallie fishing. A word of caution is in order relative to running a boat in the area. It could be dangerous resulting in serious injury to the individuals as well as the boat. Channels are not clearly marked and water levels could fluctuate 2-3 feet in a day which means the rocks can grow. If you plan to fish this area, try to take a friend who has experience on the water or hire a guide for the first trip. It would also be wise to wear a life vest at ALL TIMES. I use the auto inflatable vests which are not bulky but effective. I had a repeat customer from the past two years book me for 3 smallie trips in January for this spring. After the second trip he asked if I had any openings because he wanted to schedule Your Fishing & Crabbing Headquarters Larry Ferarro & son, Chester Springs, PA 3 lb. smallie a fourth trip. I was able to get him his fourth trip. This angler had a severe case of SMALLIE FEVER. All types of fishing fever are addictive and not conducive to working. I have had the fever as well as a number of associates over the years. It is also likely to result in dreams of catching the big one. A healthy disease. Striped bass season reopened on May 16th and lasts until December 15th. Prior to June 1st, 1 stripper between 18”-26” can be kept. After June 1st, two striped bass per person per day between 18”-28” or one between 18”-28” and one over 28” inclusive. Largemouth bass fishing in the Upper Bay is ON. I understand a 10 lb. 4 oz. largemouth was caught about a month ago and released alive. The Flats are becoming a major East Coast fishery. The number of bass boats running every weekend is staggering but what a boom to the local business community.

SURVIVING ON CECIL SOIL The Third Annual Big Tomato Contest &-+ 831%83 '328)78 By Ed Belote Sr. The Third Annual Big Tomato Contest will be held on August 11, 2012 and we are expecting bigger crowds, and hopefully bigger tomatoes! Last year’s contest was a lot of fun and we even pulled contestants from other states like Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia. Mike Mansfield from New Jersey took first place with a 4 lb 6.6 oz monster and was fortunate enough to land a 3 lb 8.5 oz second place tomato – both of which were the Big Zac variety. Bernie Cordivano, lll, from the Buck, took third place with a 3 lb 5.6 oz beauty. The “Just For Fun” competition was won by a genuine character from Norwood, Pa., Steve Kline, who also entertained us with his washboard abilities joining in with Box Turtle Bob and Ed Belote, III on guitar. Cecil Soil’s Big Tomato Contest is, actually, “just for fun”, and the real goal is raise money for the Special Olympics of Maryland, which is, in my opinion, the most deserving of charities. Again, I will be asking the business community to help sponsor this worthwhile event, and again we will reward them with free advertising and name recognition. Last year we presented Special Olympics Maryland with a check for $1500 and with your help we will surpass that. We modified the contest rules somewhat to make it more equitable for all contestants. The biggest change is we are giving out one cash prize, that is $500. This will allow a greater amount of the overall proceeds to directly benefit Special Olympics. We will not have second and third place cash prices, but will award ribbons, etc. and of course publish photos of the contestants. benefiting 46->) '%7 , MIW I LIEZ JSV XL “Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” www.somd.org X 7%896(%= • %9+978 %GXMZMXMIW [MPP VYR JVSQ RSSR XMP EVSYRH 41 8IPIKVETL 6H • 6MWMRK 7YR 1( ,SVWI 9RPMQMXIH 8EGO 7LST PSX 0EXI VIKMWXVEXMSRGLIGOMR FIKMRW 41 ;)-+,-2 8-1) 41 0MZI 1YWMG +VIEX *SSH *YR Official Rules for the 2012 Big Tomato Contest The proceeds of this year’s event will once again benefit Special Olympics Maryland.
