Fishing Log

To the dude earlier this week with the sea nymph and the bad o-ring on your fuel hose fitting. If you get into a pinch, I have a brand new spare if you need it. See photo. Reach out on this board, I check it regularly.

Tony or anyone who knows: I've never been to Riegelsville. Is there anywhere to cast from shore thereabouts? I would be happy to give it a try to expand my knowledge of the river a bit. Thanks!

Fished Friday afternoon in lower mt bethel area with kids, water temp was 47, landed 3 Shad lost 2 & got 1 smallie . Caught on spoons on downriggers.

I just sent him a check for $10,000 worth of amoxicillin. Also shad up to 84 bridge but water temp 45. No bites. A lot of action on fish finder

Is there a mod for this forum that can kick the snake oil selling hucksters off of here?

@Riverwolf - I beg ya. Please bring back the shad hotline. It was actually a good luck charm for me on the drive up to the river and now I am 0-3 on outings this year. Hope all is well. Ill be back out Sunday again - Shad

None-didly-nothing! Cold, water temp online said 46, I saw 43. Left water at 6pm.

Next launch is tomorrow. Let’s see what happens in the middle D. Just a reminder to the young folks, wipe things down, keep distances. let’s do what we can to help us all in the covid age. Catch fish, not viruses! Will post how the R-ville stretch produces tomorrow.

Will the river be blown out on Tuesday from the rain???...…. You can check the USGS Delaware River Data pages for your own take on the situation. I look for Flow rates, Temps and sometimes Turbidity (how murky the water is.) You can't get pinpoint info for everywhere, but there are key monitoring locations like Easton and Trenton. There's also a site called Philly Rivercast which is location info specific to the Fairmount Dam. Good luck!

Fished sat 230-630 in lower mt bethel area,water temp 48 , landed 14 lost 4 ,all on silver spoons on down riggers.

the weather today was cold but the bite was hot!!! We found shad throughout the river between yardley and Point pleasant. An even mix of buck and roe all feisty fighters. Poormans downriggers worked best. Fish On!!

12 for 14 in Easton Friday late. 3 Roe, 2 small ones, 1 five pounds. 4:15 to 6:15.

I gave it a shot at Trenton before the wind picked up this morning. Not a bump. The tide was approaching full high and I'm told that the lower the tide the better there. The water was also a bit turbid from recent rains. If the water were a little warmer I don't think any of the above conditions would matter. Stay well all!

I’ll be out again tomorrow, I expect many will with warmer weather. With the run setting in, I’m taking this platform as an opportunity to encourage help. At our Riegelsville ramp, I will be wiping down the launch railings with a light (but effective sanitizer) as I’ve noticed a frequent older population using the opportunity to fish. Let’s all take care of each other! You younger folks, remember who you learn to fish from!!! We like to be outside, but we funnel into the same launch points. A quick wipe down will go a long way. I only say this after observation. Let’s do our part and have a safe and successful Shad season!!! Tight lines for many years to you all!!

1st, can somebody purge the board of that viarga crap, please? 2nd, I tried the very popular Trenton shad fishing location yesterday and saw my first fish landed and caught my first fish of the season. Unfortunately, the fish I caught (on a double dart rig) was a herring. I think that a little more sunshine and the right tide will bring the fish up to a higher activity level pretty quickly. I think tomorrow will be the day for my first shad!

DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK I AM STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS...I WILL BE ON THE RIVER THIS WEEKEND AT PBURG, IF U NEED SPOONS, DARTS, IN LINE SINKERS OR RIVER ANCHORS, ETC...CALL ME ...RUSTY AT RUSTY BALLS TACKLE..484-239-4723

Yup. I'm rusty on this posting business. I forgot to put my name and location on my last couple posts. >>>>I know this is the "D" RFSA, but does anyone know about fishing the run on the Brandywine? WG? I read an article about how they are dismantling the dams to let the anadromous fish get back into the watershed.

3/16/20 fishing report- lower Susquehanna River. I fished Late afternoon 5-7 pm, went 4/7 on hickory shad and got a 30-inch striper (SEB) on a dart (ugh) :)....there were literally thousands of alewives spawning in the shallows! Nice to see them I’m good numbers again! Hickories caught on double darts. Forgot to check water temp

We picked up a bunch of buck shad yesterday. poor mans downriggers got the fish. Any reports on how the banquet went?

4-6 in Easton this morning, 10:30am again, all feisty Bucks. Seems like their "morning start" is delayed a little cause of the temps. But when they start, like clock work!! 3 straight cast's, fish on!

picked up shad between point plesant and yardly today. slow pic but good healthy fish. poor mans downriggers were getting the fish. Nothing on darts.

new member.. any info on shad in the Susquehanna river around conowingo dam and Perryville,md??
