When is the opening day of Trout season in Southeast Pennsylvania? TODAY! For my family the beginning of Trout season has grown into the most celebrated holiday of the year. Mom and I have made this a special day of family bonding and this year we even brought dad. Arriving at 6:30am we quickly [...]
A guest post by: Larry Chandler Thanks to the internet and smartphones, it is fairly easy to find almost any information about a local spot such as a restaurant or entertainment venue. Unfortunately, finding information about where to fish and what kind of fish might be available has not been so easy to find. However, [...]
Wow. 2011 is flying by eh? By my count there are three days left until 2012. I’m excited. 2012 is going to hold some great fishing, the likes of which have never been seen (at least on this humble blog). As we travel farther down the rabbit hole of fishing addiction, allow me to present [...]

A few stocked Trout, a nice Smallmouth Bass, and a Bluegill here or there but no serious fishing action. This past Saturday was the beginning [...]

We hit up one of the Functioning Fishaholics secret fishing spots today and the Crappie bite was on fire! While there will be a full fishing report soon, here is a pic of the new Functioning Fishaholics record Crappie.
Caught a fish today I checked out a new “top secret Trout” hole today. Although I wasn’t able to catch any Trout I did catch the Bluegill above. He loved my gold bladed black spinner. I also had couple more fish on the line but they got off. There were actively feeding trout in the [...]
Is it too early to catch Largemouth Bass in South Eastern Pennsylvania? This morning Jeff and I went to one of our secrets spots to try our luck and see if we couldn’t scare up a few Largemouth Bass.
