On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV , I’m joined once again by Pennsylvania kayak hammer Jake Harshman for a raw and unfiltered conversation about everything happening on the Susquehanna River and across the kayak fishing scene. We dive deep into how the Susquehanna is fishing this fall — breaking down current water levels, seasonal patterns, and what anglers should expect heading into winter. Jake shares his insights on bait selection, key stretches of the river, and what separates consistent tournament success from frustration on one of the most dynamic smallmouth fisheries in the country. But that’s not all — we also tackle the recent controversies and chaos shaking up the kayak bass fishing world . From cheating scandals to integrity issues in online events, we give our honest takes on what’s happening behind the scenes and where the sport needs to go from here. Whether you’re a hardcore kayak angler, a fan of Susquehanna smallmouth fishing, or just someone who loves the real stories behind competitive bass fishing, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
