Things To Do

Things To Do in Harrisburg PA

There is something very special about getting to share and teach someone a growing passion that they originally kindled in you.  Having the chance to get my Dad on a few bronzebacks is always special as we didn’t really have access to them growing up in coastal NC.  I’ve got open dates in May if you’d like to get out.  910-232-7350  #RiverRedemption #gratefulguides #AlphaAngler #snaglertacklecompany #simmsfishing #castfishingco #smithoptics #g3jetboat #susquehannariver #juniatariver

Special Moments on the Susquehanna with Family

May is a wrap here at River Redemption and it was another very successful month for our clients.  Some may and some may not know but my educational background and career is in Chemical Engineering.  That analytical nature drives me to focus, sometimes hyper critically, on fishing.  This May has been extremely wet and a few times what I thought I knew as a “sure thing” with a rise and high water taught me that on the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers there are no absolutes and there is a nuance to every situation.  That’s what keeps me going, continuing to learn and grow as a guide and fisherman to give it everything I have to make sure our clients have the best experience possible.  June is shaping up nicely and after the bronzebacks get a bit of a respite from the spawn the spinnerbait and topwater action should be🔥.  I have open dates in June and July and would love to have you aboard.  910-232-7350  #RiverRedemption #gratefulguides #AlphaAngler #snaglertacklecompany #simmsfishing #castfishingco #smithoptics #g3jetboat #susquehannariver #juniatariver

Strong June Flows Bring Big Success on the Rivers

July was another action packed month at River Redemption.  There were tons of highlights and personal bests as well as multiple family trips with excited young anglers.  I love seeing the future generation experiencing and enjoying all the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers have to offer.  The water is getting lower but we still have spots we can safely get on the bronzebacks.

Fishing in Pennsylvania with a single fish

It was awesome to have Tim and Jeff out with me on the Susquehanna today.  Having a return client onboard means everything to me!  The fish were in a more lethargic mood than we experienced last week but Tim and Jeff still put the heat on some beautiful bronze backs.  Tim even boated a nice 19.5” four pounder.  Thank you again guys for booking River Redemption LLC!  The river is fishing really good right now.
