Fishing Log

Fished Worthington on Monday for 7 hours. Two other people on the river and two boats nearby. Other than the 1 fish I caught there was only one that I saw caught on the boat nearby. When I spoke with the others fishing from the bank when I was leaving thay had been there as long as I was and neither even had a hit. So far not a good year.

First time out.river high cloudy cold.fished Stockton area from shore from 7 to 1030.tried darts and spoons nothing.then put on quarter ounce walleye jig and hooked what I thought was a big walleye turned out to be big shad.spit jig at my feet.then I had several follows on darts but no hits.water needs to warm up hopefully will drop and warm up for next week.

Got in an hour at the river in Trenton yesterday early afternoon. Caught 2 on darts fishing pretty hard. It was just starting to get active as I had to leave.

Fished Zane Grey tonight 3:30- 6 caught 6 shad had twice as many hits that didn't hook up fished from shore double darts. Water temp, 52.52 deg. finally no wind tonight.

Sorry I meant “Rob W”

I don't understand how such things can be, but I stopped at the Schuylkill yesterday afternoon expecting a pleasant couple hours of catching and only got an exhausting, long spell with nothing. I finally hooked a nice shad, fought it in close enough to see the beautiful lilac color, and it spit the dart back at me. That was it. I left humbled and my arm was sore. Pfah!

Fished from 1230 to 1800. Best day in years Several triples, numerous doubles, large roe some bucks .Boated 61, lost over a dozen, and had numerous bumps. Water temp 51, no debris, windy, water clarity minimal..

Well finally action three this morning 7:30 to 8:30 Nine This evening 5 to 7 had number of bumps misses and let go's too. Water height good and temp rising and just as I thought we're out of the woods a nasty cold snap coming with some rain and high winds so that'll mess it up for awhile. Gene I imagine they still go up the lackawaxen. Years ago I caught a couple there fishing for trout with a silver spinner

Shadharris, I feel for you! You certainly put in the effort.

Fished the high water yesterday. Got 3 on dart.

Hopefully the action picks up this week, I'm aiming for Friday (day off)

Want from Milford down to about 10 miles south of route 80 today did not see a shad being caught. Will try again Tuesday

Fished from 1pm to 6pm. No fish. River high and stained. Debris and branches in water. Current fast temp 49. Will try again again Monday.

Bushkill boat launch is open. Fishing’s been tough so far but this weekends weather should get the bite going.

The Schuylkill warmed up by almost 7 degrees yesterday. A nice shallow river...

broke ice with first of season tonight but slow afterward few bumps and one followed dart to my feet think just too cold. However if we have sun the temp should jump with river falling slowly better action should arrive

Looking forward to Saturday.

That section of 611 is closed indefinitely because there was lots of road damage from the heavy rains about a week ago.

We got about 3" of snow on the ground allot more melted as it fell got .90" of rain on my rain gauge as of midnight. Rivers up a foot as of midnight and still going up. Water temp. down to 43 deg. Warmer weather is on the way 72 by sunday.

I had 1 hour to fish on my way home yesterday afternoon at the Schuylkill. As it turned out I was walking back to my car just as the rain started. I left the fish hitting after catching a mix of American and Hickories. I would have staid and gotten wet, but I had left my vest with all my rigs in another car and only found enough darts and such to do any fishing by looking in cracks in my trunk for fallen stuff. I actually stopped fishing because the last fish spit the hook 10 feet out and it wrapped around a tree branch out of reach above me. The D is probably not fishable for a few days and the Schuylkill's worse right now. They might be looking much better this weekend, though, with no rain in the forecast and sunny skies. I haven't seen the reports about snow to the north yet.

@ Mike F. There are no shad at DC and OCT

While birding at Bulls's Island this AM, there was a nice red handle rubber mesh landing net on the cemented stone berm at 40.404924, -75.028417 No boat or shore anglers there. Water looked stained.
