Otis, MA Fishing (7-5-16/7-9-16)

Throughout July 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th, 2016, I fished in Otis, MA. I caught a wide variety of species including the largemouth bass, yellow perch, pumpkinseed, bluegill, and chain pickerel.



I caught this lunker bass!



It is always exciting to catch yellow perch because I don't catch them often in Philly



Pumpkinseed are beautiful!



This was a pretty big pickerel!



This is hard to tell, but this was pretty much a slab bluegill!

Margate City Fishing (7-3-16/7-5-16)

Throughout July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2016, I fished in Margate, New Jersey. The fishing was overall not that great, but I did manage a bunch of black sea bass and one clearnose skate.



A beautiful sea bass!



Even though many people don't like skates I still love them!

Schuylkill River Fishing (6-29-16)

On June 29th, 2016, I went to the Schuylkill River to do some fishing with my friend Miles. I ended up catching my first purebred striped bass and a smallmouth bass or two.

Wissahickon Creek Fishing (6-27-16)

On June 27th, 2016, I went to the Wissahickon Creek to target rout and panfish with my fly rod. I did not catch anything with my fly rod. So, right before I left, I put a crane fly larva onto my spinning rod and casted it out. Within a minute or two I had a beautiful rainbow trout on my line!



There she is!

Wissahickon Creek Fishing (6-20-16)

On June 20th, 2016, I went to the Wissahickon Creek for a short fishing session with my sister Becca. I managed to land two smallmouth bass and one redbreast sunfish.

This guy had great coloring!

Margate City Fishing (6-18/19-16)

Schuylkill River Fishing (6-13-16)

On June 13th, 2016, I traveled to the Schuylkill River to do a little bit of fishing. I ended up only catching a small green sunfish or two. Still fun though!



At least he was very pretty!

Schuylkill River Fishing (6-12-16)

On June 12th, 2016, I headed down to the Schuylkill River to do a very short fishing session. I was there for around and hour. However, this short trip indeed was very successful, as I caught my first channel catfish!



A very cute channel catfish!

Cisco Park Fishing (6-10-16)

On June 10th, 2016, I went with my mom and sisters to Cisco Park in Erdenheim, PA. My mom did not fish, but my sisters and I did. I actually caught two new species that day, one being a Creek Chub, and the other being a Pumpkinseed x Green Sunfish Hybrid. I also kept 4 small sunfish to keep in my fish tank at home that is filled with wild-caught fish.
