If Seeing is Believing - then check this out!

41" Striper caught in waters off Havre de Grace, MD courtesy Capt. Karl's Bassin Adventures

This amazing 41" Striper was caught by Bill Grieser on

April 30, 2008 while fishing the Susquehanna Flats with Capt. Karl. What's really exciting, is he was using a Bubba Shad popper he (Karl) designed for AM Lures. (If I didn't know Capt. Karl personally, I'd accuse him of doctoring this photo! WOW!) Way to go, guys!

 

Golfing? Well, you're in the right place. Bulle Rock offers world class golfing as well as the LPGA every June!

Sailing? You bet! Kayaking? Uh huh! Power Boats? Yessiree!

Hey, how about birdwatching? You got it! Hiking? Yeppur! Biking? uh HUH! You can try the North Park Trail and other parks in the city or Susquehanna State Park.

And if that's not enough, how about people watching from one of our benches along the downtown streets or on the promenade. Enjoy!
