Fishing Log

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.

Looking for shad fishing reports.

Water Temp @ Trenton was 55F and somewhat stained. Fishe From 3:30 until sunset at spots that I have fished 35+ years. Two small bucks maybe 3 lbs (tops). Other reports do not look very promising.

Fished the Easton, PA area today from 7AM-3PM. No shad. Haven’t seen or heard about any shad caught in Burlington for almost two weeks. Still plenty of time left. Planning a trip up to the Delaware Water Gap in the near future.

Hickories are finally in at Deer creek and the Octoraro. Went yesterday and caught them up.

Eli wisor when water is high and dirty use 2 inch crappie jigs darker colors always work best in dirty water . Just use 1 jig and in line weight or split shot to get you down I use 16 18 inch leader froms swivel

Tom D, I fish there when I can, but am waiting a bit for the conditions to improve. Where I'm itching to try again is the Wing Dam below Lamberton. I have never gotten the hang of fishing that water, but I believe it could be productive. Again, I will wait for conditions. I'm going to stop at the Fairmount Dam again on the way home. ...BTW, I wonder how the advertising SPAM is defeating the CAPTCHA...

Any recent reports from Belvidere bridge launch or the Copper mine?11

I fished the Schuylkill both yesterday afternoon and this morning for a little while. Yesterday was a hard slog, with a bit too much water flowing through and the wind whipping down the river. Still, I caught 2 American bucks and a fat Hickory mama. I christened my new noodle rod! This morning it was a whole new river. The tide was approaching full, but the current was just about right for dart fishing. I landed one buck, a hickory, and then after a dry half hour or so landed 3 nice roes and dropped 2 more. I had to go back to work, but I think that the fishing would have carried on improving as the water warmed and the tide moved. The Delaware should be getting very good real soon now.

Why anglers are reluctant to share spots (from personal experience). I take you. Next day you will be there with two others I do not even know. The next day they will each bring two more strangers. Before I know it, I will not have a place to park or a rock to stand on.

Fished where the Leigh meets the Delaware 0 fish any help would be approached fished from shore with shad darts

Should have done it two days ago.
