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.
Fishing Reports
September is here!
September for me is the start of the real fishing season after a long hot summer. Cool nights bring that water temp down into the low 70's and fish activity up! Almost everything that swims is almost instantly more aggressive as they feed up for the upcoming colder...
Conditions improving…
Starting to get lots of reports of better fish with temps starting to moderate some. The trout bite continues to pick up, so I am expecting an awesome fall trout season. Eric Gusztaw has sent several pics of really nice fish caught in the local streams here in NE Pa....
Relief in sight!
Looks as if a break in the heat is finally here! Daytime temps in the 70's & low 80's and nighttime temps dipping into the 50's! This will drop water temp pretty quickly. I don't think this will be enough to drive fish into a fall pattern, but will certainly...

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. We were showing Mike how to use the Deeper Sonar to get into some early season fish, and ended up getting him into a whole lot more than we bargained for! What a great day and great episode… Please take a look!
Midwest Outdoors
On this episode of Midwest Outdoors TV, Josh gets his hands full while Pocono George spends his time behind the camera! We loved filming this episode for our friends out west, check out what Josh got himself into….
Pennsylvania Outdoor Life
The fist TV show we did was with local favorites Don Jacobs & Brian Hollingshead and WNEP TV. Made two great friends that day and managed to get Don on a nice striper for the table. This is still one of my favorite episodes…..
Pennsylvania Outdoor Life
In this two part episode, we take Don & Brian out to Mauch Chunk lake for some ice fishing in January. Even though it’s cold, the fishing is still really good. We catch a bunch of fish and had a great time with great friends. Can’t wait to get out fishing with these guys again! Take a look…..
