The Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is a must-visit for outdoor enthusiasts eager to discover the latest trends and gear. The event, running throughout this week, features a broad range of outdoor sports, with new products and advice related to fishing being prominent highlights.

Top Fishing Spot in Pennsylvania

According to the owner of Koinonia Guide Service, Rod Bates, and one of his fishing guides, Tony Cicero, the Susquehanna River in eastern Pennsylvania has emerged as a prime fishing destination in the state.

Bates, who has been guiding anglers on the river since 1999, reports a healthy mix of out-of-state visitors and locals. Anglers can target smallmouth bass and catfish in the river, and occasionally hook walleyes and muskies.

Kayak Fishing: An Increasingly Popular Trend

Rachael Thurner-Diaz, waterways conservation officer in Adams and western York counties, has noticed a rise in kayak fishing. The accessibility and affordability of kayaks make them a popular choice, enabling fishing on a variety of water bodies, from shallow rivers to deep lakes.

Transporting Your Kayak Made Easy

For those who struggle with transporting their kayaks, Kayak Loading Solutions of Pennsboro, West Virginia, offers an innovative solution. Their system, with the push of a button, easily loads kayaks onto the back of a truck, eliminating the physical strain usually involved.

Innovative Line Trimmers from Line Cutterz

For trimming fishing lines, Line Cutterz have developed a handy range of trimmers that can be attached to your fishing rod, boat, or zipper pull on your fishing vest. This Texas and Minnesota-based company’s inventions have been embraced by anglers worldwide.

Try the Ghost Drag for Successful Bait Fishing
