She Got a Horse | Riegelsville | Friday March 13th 8:25 am
No fish for us yet. Had a few pings two days ago, but those could have been carp.

The other site is on face book and is called Delaware River Shad Fishing Reports. If most members used this site instead, there would be no need for the other.
Dave | Sellersville | Thursday March 12th 11:38 am
Thanks for the info about the Phillipsburg Ramp - you mentioned another site where most people post about the fishing - I thought this was that site - I can't find anything else searching for results. Miss the "Woofish" site since there seemed to be a lot more info on that site (although quite a bit of BS from some posters).

Dave, parking fees were waived last year in the Pburg lot. They removed the kiosk machine.

3/11/20 fishing report— fished the lower Susquehanna this morning and landed 2 hickory shad, lost a couple others. Water around 49 degrees. First of the season there for me
WG | | Wednesday March 11th 11:36 am
First American shad for me yesterday 3/10/20 in lower Delaware River. 1/2 in about 2 hours fishing on darts. Water temp 48! It’s time!
Dave | Sellersville | Wednesday March 11th 11:23 am
Parking not free in P-burg (unless something changed) - paid $35 last year for a season to park, but only managed to get out for 1 trip to Easton. Every time I was able to go, the river was running too high and had to cancel. Usually only able to make about 2 - 3 trips, anyway, so still kind of costly/trip.
TeamToothy | Easton area | Wednesday March 11th 9:43 am
It’s that time of year again, woohoo! I’ll be out this weekend starting around Reigelsville and up to Easton looking for my first of the year.
Tony | Bulls island | Wednesday March 11th 9:05 am
The shad have been actively biting for the last two weeks,not a lot of fish but they hit when they come through. Averaging about 3 landed an hour. If your patient an in a good spot you will catch some. Water has been in lows 40s when I was fishing. It’s up to 47 now so the bite should be better. Finally for the guys asking I can assure you that some of the shad are up to and past Easton by now.
Shadfather | Easton | Wednesday March 11th 7:59 am
Dave, there's no reason to launch from the Easton side. No where to park and if you do you'll have to put money in the meter for both your truck and trailer. Launch on the P'burg side. Ramp is better and parking is free and Jimmies Hot Dog is there too.
| | Wednesday March 11th 12:51 am
DAVE, there is a public launch at Scott Park just downstream from the free bridge in Easton. This log seems to be superfluous as most all the DRSFA members post on the Delaware River Shad Fishing Reports site instead of this one (except for sales pitches)..
Dave | Sellersville | Wednesday March 11th 12:35 am
Someone had asked about any launch sites at Easton other than in NJ, but no one responded. Does that mean that there is no other place to launch and park on the PA side? I would be interested in knowing as well.

Sorry, in post below I meant 03/09.
| | Tuesday March 10th 11:55 am
A bit disappointing that those fishing Easton yesterday (03/10) did not report here. Perhaps they are not members?
JIM | fountain hill | Sunday March 8th 2:59 pm
Weather predicts 65 degrees tomorrow. is it worth trying for shad around the easton pburg area?? or still too early.

Have a few dates lined up next week for those anglers in need of shad spoons, bass tackle, reels, line and much more. I'll be at the Westaby Fire Hall in Bucks County at 6pm on Friday March 13 2020. On Sat March 14, 2020 I will be at the Hawghunters Flea Market in Allentown PA. Sunday March 15,2020 I will be at the last fishing flea market for me for the season at Sergeantsville Fire Hall in Delaware Twp NJ. This is a great event with over 90 vendors of new and used fishing tackle. Lots of bargains and deals to be had. Fly tying demos, door prizes and food available for purchase on site. Check out details for all of these events on ScottsBT Flea Market on Google. Hope to see you at one or all of these great shows. Kevin "shadillac" Ingram

Is there any place to launch and park at Easton other than P-burg?
Capt. Alex Craig | Green Lane, PA & Hatteras, NC | Tuesday March 3rd 7:18 pm
Oops .... I forgot to mention the fish were caught in the lower Delaware River.
Capt. Alex Craig | Green Lane, PA & Hatteras, NC | Tuesday March 3rd 7:09 pm
Finally got my 1st shad of the year on my third trip. The first trip was on 2/24/20 & the 2nd on 3/1/20. Hooked 2 landed this one. The hook pulled on the 2nd fish when it was 15' from me. Both were smaller/average bucks. Also had 2 missed hits which were almost certainly shad. Broke off 1 big carp and landed a 4# sucker. Oh, boy! Bottom line. They are here. Water temp was 38.1 when I started and 39.1 a few minutes after I landed the first fish. PS Sorry for the poor pic. I bought myself a new toy (GoPro Hero8 Black) & I'm still learning how to get pics & videos in frame with the darn thing sitting on top of my head! All I got was the top of its head & part of my hand. <sigh>

Below are my question and answer about the fee change for the DWGNRA.
Rich | | Friday January 10th 2:22 pm
When are the new fees expected to be implemented? Will they be in effect for 2020, or a later year?................ The changes to our fee program that were proposed in the Draft Visitor Use Management Plan, as well as the comments that were received during the public comment period, are being reviewed. A decision has not yet been made about any changes to the park's fee program. At this time, the old fee structure remains in effect............... Sincerely, ............... I find it hard to believe they do not have a target date for implementation.
Robert Dreisbach | Northampton | Wednesday January 8th 12:09 pm
Looking to fly fish for shad this year.
Kevin Ingram | Yardley PA | Wednesday January 8th 5:05 am
I will be a vendor at the VE Club Fishing Flea Market on Saturday January 18 2020 selling shad spoons and assorted fishing tackle. The market runs from 9am to 1pm and is located on Davisville Road in Warminster PA. Details can be found on the VE German Club website. Hope to see u there. Lots of bargains to get ready for the 2020 fishing season. Kevin
Rich | | Sunday December 29th 8:19 pm
NPS is proposing a park entrance fee for all activities in the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area as part of the Visitor Use Management Plan update. What is the fee change proposal? – In accordance with Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA), entrance fees are not charged to persons under 16 years of age or holders of the America the Beautiful–The National Parks and Federal Recreational Annual, Senior, Access, Military, or Volunteer Passes. Additionally, FLREA fees are not static and may be reevaluated in the future. These passes may be obtained at the park. A park-specific annual pass will also be available. This will keep costs to frequent and/or local users at $45 a year. A park-specific seven-day pass would cost visitors $25 (vehicle), $15 (person), and $20 (motorcycle). Seniors will be able to buy a lifetime pass for $80.00. Or a yearly pass for $20.00. After 4 yearly passes have been purchased they may be traded for the lifetime. I have requested info as to when we can expect the fees to be implemented and will report the answer when I receive it.
Rich | | Wednesday December 25th 3:26 pm
First catches reported from St. Johns R. FL. Time to get the tackle ready.
