June, 2010 6/26/10 Recently the Delaware River Sojourn decided to honor the Delaware River Shad
Fishermen's Association for their work with youth in promoting outdoor education
in recognition of the DRSFA's Shad in Schools program and their Youth Fishing
Education Day by naming David Bittner Lord High Admiral for a section of the
Delaware River and Delaware Canal on which they kayak or canoe. Dave and his
wife Susan accompanied the group of about 65 Sojourners which started at Easton

February, 2010 2/16/10 I would like to thank all of the Club members and other interested parties who have been responding to the PF&BC's claim that the Shad stock on the Delaware River is all peaches and cream. We may have a self sustaining population (exempts the Delaware River from Amendment 3) but it is no where near what it should be. I would caution everyone to keep their comments, civil, no personal attacks please. It seems that a few overly sensitive types have been taken aback by some of the more caustic remarks and suggestions. We welcome all comments, for the good of the Delaware River and it's Shad. I would also like to draw attention to the fine articles pertaining to the Delaware River and Shad currently being written by Gary Blockus of The Morning Call. His articles shed a fair and unbiased light on the problems. Remember the exemption mentioned in amendment 3, A self sustaining population. So maybe we will be allowed to fish for Shad in the Delaware ?? -RM
