Fish - Hunt - Explore
Join Pocono George as he shares some of his favorite moments on the water and in the woods, passing along some great tips for hunting and fishing. Let’s get on ’em!
What We Fish For
Stripers
Stripers are one of the most popular area fish to fish for and can be found both in Saltwater and Freshwater. These fish are lively when hooked and can grow to 80 lbs or more. A Pocono Outdoors Guy favorite for sure!
Bass
Largemouth and Smallmouth are found in all area lakes and rivers. The excitement of a largemouth hitting a topwater is second to none! Smallmouth are known for being great fighters when hooked out of deep cool water.
Fluke
Fluke are saltwater fish and can be found in open water and in estuaries and bays. Often sought after both as a gamefish and table fare. Fluke (flounder) are a lot of fun to catch and are delicious to eat.
Walleye
Walleye are some of the most delicious fish you can ever grace your table with. Walleye are freshwater fish and can be found in both rivers and lakes throughout the US. Area deep lakes and rivers are ideal walleye territory.
Trout
This area is ideal for a variety of trout. Rainbows, Browns, and Brook trout will test your skills. Not only in the mountain streams, but giant Browns and Rainbows lurk in some of the area rivers and deep lakes. Be ready for a battle!
Catfish/Carp
Most anglers do not recognize these as gamefish until they end up with a giant on the other end of the line! Both species are fierce fighters, and a great way to spend a summers day chasing these awesome bottom feeders.
Black Crappie
Absolutely great table fare and a fall favorite to catch. Giant Crappie can make for a challenging evening. If you can find the schools, its a great night, however they can be an elusive opponent!
Musky/Pike
Strong fighters and lots of teeth make any Musky or Northern Pike a much sought after gamefish. Pike are slightly easier to catch with a nasty attitude to attack your lure, Musky are just as fierce, just a bit more cautious.
American Shad
A seasonal favorite here in Eastern Pa. It is a right of passage and often kicks off the fishing season with large schools of shad migrating up river to spawn in early Spring. Certainly a local favorite.

Minsi Lake

Recent TV appearances
Lunkerville
If you know Pocono Outdoors Guy, you know we LOVE doing TV. Here is a great episode we did on the hit TV fishing show “Lunkerville” with Mike D.

What a great day and great episode… Please take a look!

I have been on his podcast numerous times and his topics are not only different they are topics people want to learn more about. George is a great host who keeps his listeners entertained.. He has also brought a great voice to the fisherman’s weekly updates. George is not only a great guy, fisherman and host, he is a great friend!”
