Fishing Log

Okay, creative soul, I just stumbled upon something insanely awesome, I had to stop everything and scream about it. This piece is totally bonkers. It’s packed with wild visuals, brain-hugging ideas, and just the right amount of pixel sass. Sound too good? Alright, [url=http://bancoentrerios.biz/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=snargl.ru%2Fblog%2Ffuturistic-tales-exploring-the-boundless-futures-of-humanity%2F]go look right this moment[/url]! Didn’t click? Fine. Imagine a cat in a hoodie built a site after binging inspiration. That’s the chaos this beauty gives. So click already, and bookmark it forever. Because on my Wi-Fi, this is next-level. That’s it.

I used almost all 1/8th oz darts in Pink, Chartreuse, or White. I did use some 2" pink twister tails on 1/16oz jigheads a few times. All single darts. If possible, I avoided adding extra split shots. I almost always stick to single darts because of the amount of rock where I fish and I believe I can feel the dart better and control it in the current.

I managed 8 today in 1.5 hours. I also wrapped up my logging season for shad fishing. I may get out a few more times, but I wanted to get this submitted. In all I made 14 trips, 39 hours of angling, all from the bank, and caught 168 shad. My catch per hour numbers are skewed by the one outlier day. Throwing out the outlier and a couple exploration days, and I averaged around 4 shad an hour. I missed some of the best timing of the run due to work and river blowouts. Still it was a great season for me.

Water still a bit high and cold for this,time of year.fished riegalsville from shore and scratched out 4.3 roes and a buck.aĺl on small gold spoons.

Fished this evening, boated 36. Fish fought hard. Water temp 64, plenty of debris, water fast and stained. Only boat on river. River like glass. No activity on surface displaying spawning. Tonight was my last time for shad. Good luck to those who will fish to the end

fished bushkill and eshbachs with good results with high water.landed quite a few on small spoons and darts color didnt matter.was a little tricky wading water is high and murky but cooler for this time.this will be my last trip as fish r not spunky like they were and some r beat up and showing signs of spawning.it is time to let them be unless u r fishing the upper river where it will be good for a few more weeks.66

Pretty crazy day today around Port Jervis. I managed 40 shad in 4.5 hours. Now of those, only around 15% seemed fresh. The rest seemed well into the spawn. For me, that rate of almost 10 an hour landed is crazy. I could also feel the dart running into fish and missing a heck of a lot of bumps too. I have around 10 years shad fishing, and this was the second most hookups per time that I have every had. Get out and enjoy.

Another fine day. 27 caught and released. Broke the 300 mark today. Water still a bit cool and rising. Next week could be awesome.

Fished Friday evening, boated 26, lost many. Water was rishing, probably from a reservoir dump. With the rising water brought plenty of debris. Highlite of the evening, 6 pounds 1 ounce roe. A massive fish. Water temp 63.

way to go CM and RM - you guys are my late season heroes. I transition over to salt by end of 3rd week May, otherwise would keep at it. Big rains coming, get on them today perhaps for your last time.

Fished this evening, boated 41, most in last two hours. Mostly bucks but full of fight. Water temp 60, river dropping, no debris, clarity ok.

13 today. A mix of big roe and bucks and a beautiful 18 inch brown trout that hit a green and white dart. All the Shad were fresh and full of fight. It ain’t over yet. Maybe another 10 days or so of good fishing.

Fished easton this morning before the wind really kicked up.caught 11 on spoons off downriggers and 5 off plugs.water not bad some debris mostly rowes.

Poxono to Port Jervis will have peak numbers of shad this weekend, but I don't see waters being fishable until maybe Monday, they are still rising and forecasted to go up another foot. Any good catches I predict would be further north from shore anglers. Me personally, would not take boat, but would consider wading but I am hanging it up for the season.

Anyone think fishing at Dingmans might yield some action this memorial day weekend or best to get up river several miles? Appreciate any advice. Thanks

Thanks Nate for the update on Easton conditions.

Last time I fished before the flooding was 5/2, from shore. Went wading tonight with my buddy N of Gap, and we finally got the action we have been hoping for. 18 days no shad fishing in May, we were rewarded with with 59 shad between us... 2 rods. Not sure we could have beat that with 6 rods from the boat in the 3 hours we fished.... 60% roe, all fish very fresh. Now the rains are coming to tie the knot on end of season for me.... Most of the afternoon, we were getting a hit every cast and left them biting at 8PM..... Take it for what it's worth, but we basically lost 18 days of a very good shad run....

I was in Easton Saturday. Brown chocolate milk, zero boats, zero fisherman, water rushing out of the Lehigh was dirty and the banks were flooded

Been too busy to get out. Would I be wasting a day if I went to my spot in Easton for shore fishing? 1.5 hours each way. Thanks!

You’ll never see water moccasins north of southern NC, despite endless old tales them being in our region. It was never true, they can’t survive winters here.

Just northern watersnakes Linedog. They can be a bit of a pain in the butt, and a bit aggressive. You were probably standing on some nice location for them to sun themselves, and they were annoyed that any human would be so brazen as to be on their river.

Fished 2.5 hours yesterday (Thursday) wading way above Port Jervis. Fished 4pm to 5pm and saw the rain coming from the south, and made it back to my truck for half an hour for shelter. Picked up 4 shad in that previous hour. Resumed fishing at 5:30pm with much fog on the river now. Visibility was no more than 1/4 mile. Didn't seem to bother the fish, though, as I landed 5 more in the next hour. Action seemed to slow then, so I put on a plug hoping to get a striper, but only managed a walleye and a couple smallmouth. The largest smallmouth (13") had some sort of parasite on the rear part of his gill cover and the adjoining part of his body. A grey growth of some kind. Didn't have my knife or I would have tried to scrape it off him. Total catch: 9 shad, 3 walleyes (2 on darts, 1 on plug) and several smallies. Water temp 59, 3.5 feet over normal low flow. Wish I had not lost that prime-time half hour to the rain, though.

High river: There was and spring and summer many yrs ago (1988?) the Delaware was high most of the summer. Caught smallmouth in mid-late Aug. that still had spawn in them, apparently their nest sites were too deep for them to use.

I fished the Port Jervis area yesterday from 1:30 to 3, I had 7 shad. My reel wore out after years of use and I had to replace it. I returned around 4:30 and had 14 more shad by 7PM. Then the bite shut down. Two others stopped by and fished for shorter periods, but both had shad at around 4 fish an hour average. I had one flurry of shad with one every cast. That lasted around 30 minutes before that group of fish moved on or something. Anyway, lots of fish in the area and higher water seems to be help my bank angling.
