Soaring With Eagles On The Susquehanna River (04/30/13)

Hello Folks,

Jeff (CHRGD) and Penny sent me some great eagle photos from their recent Saturday outing. The fishing wasn't too hot, but the eagles gave them plenty of action to take shots of...

A mature bald eagle rest upon some Lower Susquehanna River mid-river boulders...

Jeff was a bit disappointed that he didn't have his better camera on board when they came across these eagles. That's usually how it happens, though. When you least expect it, an opportunity presents itself. I think that they are pretty good shots, Jeff!

The weekend wasn't a complete smallmouth bust. Jeff and Penny did catch a few bass including this hearty 17+ smallie brought to hand by a 1/2 oz. spinnerbait.

Check out the girth on this beauty. Good catch, Jeff!

Take Care and Be Safe!
