Joseph C. | Phoenixville, PA / Ewing, NJ | Monday April 22nd 7:07 pm
I got in 45 minutes on my way home. Fished the train bridge in Trenton for the 1st time this year. They have it royally effed up but it's almost fishable if one is agile and / or foolish. I hooked up my first cast, a hickory, I think, which let go after a quick fight. Then it was cast and retrieve practice until I left. I saw some evidence of others fishing there, so I'm not the only crazy one.

Post about three shad limit is for PA tributaries only
| | Monday April 22nd 4:03 pm
Still on the books? ** American Shad is catch and release in the Schuylkill River from I-95 upstream including all tributaries and three (3) American Shad in all other Delaware River tributaries, including those above tide.

Where is Rob Wright ? Missing the Dingman's reports
ShadHarris | Shawnee area | Sunday April 21st 9:13 pm
Started 3pm on anchor. Decided to boat it today and not wade. Freaking cold ! Started in 51.3 degree water 49 degree air temp and dropping. Ended 50.8 degree water and 46 air temp. Low expectations. Quick 12 bucks landed first hour and it shut off. Decided to stay in that area a few slight adjustments. Quit 6:30 with 21 shad. A few other hits but most that hit were landed. It was starting to pick up as we left just wanted to hit 20 as a nice even number but I had to twitch the last rod in to make 21. So 12 in one hour. 9 in 2.5. Would have stayed but the chill got to me. Warmer days coming!
CTS | Delaware Water Gap | Sunday April 21st 1:33 pm
Fished from 7:30 am to 11:30 am just north of the bridge sitting in about 10 feet of water. Landed 27 with the top performer definitely bring a Steve’s Leaves Green Chartreuse C-19 trailing a Rapala SR-9. Unfortunately missed another 11. Water levels are slowly coming down but it’s clear and very fishable.
Charles mcquaid | Bushkill | Sunday April 21st 12:59 pm
That road is closed as of right now. May try to open one lane to accomadate traffic from the Water Gap to Portland in the near future. They might try to open up one lane for thru traffic soon. Road was closed because of a rock slide.
| | Sunday April 21st 12:53 pm
Rt 611 is still closed from the Gap to Portland. No end in sight, last I heard.
| | Sunday April 21st 11:46 am
Can anyone tell me if Rt. 611 at the water Gap to Portland is open ?
Under the Radar | Piscataway | Sunday April 21st 10:12 am
That's why you should always carry another rod with a 1 oz. jig!
Hegotacamel | Washingtonscrossing | Sunday April 21st 8:28 am
Fished sat nite and for 2 hours early this am on the jersey side of Washington's crossing. Crushed them in the evening on darts and spoons from shore from 5 to 7.mix of bucks and roe.started slow this am then from 630 to 730 started catching them good on spoons until some idiot in a kyack started paddling in the current right where the slot was.he was joined by 2 more .these idiots have the whole river but decide to sit there and paddle upstream in the current right in the hole.oh well that's why I usually don't fish the weekends. River is still high but clear .
RPS | Greeley Pa. | Saturday April 20th 7:47 pm

Under the Radar | Piscataway | Saturday April 20th 7:22 pm
Fished Milford all morning. Slow. Caught only a few. Didn't see anyone else catch anything from boat or shore.
CTS | Delaware Water Gap | Saturday April 20th 7:01 pm
Was out to run the boat more than anything but dropped two lines just north of the bridge and fished for only 30 minutes or so. Landed two and lost one. One was a nice roe and the other was a buck. Both caught on Steve’s Leaves spoons with poor man’s downrighers. Water is still high but fishable.
ShadHarris | S of Smithfield | Saturday April 20th 10:46 am
2.5 hour early morning session. Went 12/13 but 10 of those in first hour. All bucks but the one I lost was a big roe
ShadHarris | N of gap and | Friday April 19th 10:04 pm
4/19 report. Wading north of water gap …. Not the fish every cast like last two nights. My buddy had that last night. I had it night before - literally fish every cast. Tonight we went together and we only went 17 out of 18 hookups between 4 and 6:45pm. Still a good night but a bit of a let down. More bucks than roe. Water barely 50 - it dropped two degrees
John Misczuk | Port Jervis, NY | Friday April 19th 10:52 am

Hegotacamel | Washingtonscrossing | Thursday April 18th 11:14 am
Due to unsafe shore fishing conditions at my usual spots went to fish the tidewater near the arsenal.caught 9 american and 4 hickory all on spoons.5 buck and 4 nice rowe.
Joseph C. | Phoenixville, PA / Ewing, NJ | Thursday April 18th 8:15 am
I fished 2.5 hours from the top of the tide on the Schuylkill River yesterday morning. Only one hookup and that spit the hook 5 feet in front of me shooting my rig into tree branches. At least it didn't come back at my face. Conditions looked ideal. Temp was over 62F, overcast sky, modest gauge height. It should have been a perfect morning with lots of fish. I even put on a spoon to find a Hickory. Oh, well. How has it been around Easton for shore fishing?
ShadHarris | Between Gap and Smithfield | Wednesday April 17th 8:54 pm
Finally a beat down (on me). Scouted out a new high water spot with a steep bank into the river as I literally slid into it on my back. After that recovery and some wet arms - went 10 of 12 between 3:30 and 5. Good fishing. Not great but much needed. Then between 5 and 6:30 it was literally a fish every cast. Insane fishing. All on double dart green chartreuse with 1/4 and 1/20 ounce trailer. I forgot my warm socks and patched my neoprene waders today so wore my thin ones - got out by 7pm while I could still feel my legs (barely) and with frozen feet. I landed two doubles - they did me a favor they fight each other and not me. They come in much faster! The night really slowed after 6:30 anyway. Even mix of buck / roe perhaps slightly more roe but none would make it to even 4#. I have no idea what my totals were - not that it matters.
RPS | Greeley | Wednesday April 17th 8:47 pm

new to shad fishing
Hegotacamel | Washingtonscrossing | Tuesday April 16th 2:17 pm
Went to usual spot on jersey side of Washington's crossing too high and lots of debris left after half hour.needs to come down more coming down slowly due to releases at resivoirs.
charlie 1st | new hope to frenchtown | Tuesday April 16th 1:44 pm
We picked them apart piece by piece this morning on poor mans DR's. Some real nice roe, the bucks on the smaller side, about and even mix. Nothing on darts or casting. Some debris and the water is a little high too but fish are there!!
| | Tuesday April 16th 1:25 pm
Alex, many being caught from shore in the mid river over the past two days
Phil M. | Sandyston | Tuesday April 16th 11:24 am
Alex: I would give it at least one more day. River is still roaring and very colored.
Alex | Middletown,nj | Tuesday April 16th 8:03 am
Is the river too high to fish from shore in the Easton area, didn't want to make the ride for nothing.
Rustyballs | | Monday April 15th 10:36 pm

TCC | Reading | Monday April 15th 8:50 pm
Is the river safe for boating? Thinking of coming to Bull Island or Milford NJ ramps tomorrow
RCN | Bville ,NJ | Monday April 15th 3:57 pm
To Shad Harris: all the boat ramps on the Jersey side are bad. Would be nice for NPS to put in a decent "1" at least.
Joseph Christopher | Phoenixville / Ewing | Monday April 15th 7:28 am
I got to fish in the Schuylkill for a bit last Friday morning. the tide was a bit lower than I liked - the top half of the flow is my preference. Not much action but did land one fat Hickory. I will get back there this week while the D is so high. Cheers all!
