10 Shad today and 2 bass then the rains came so called it a day

Caught 3 shad up to 4lbs and lost three at PA fishing beach/Narrowsburg on the Delaware using 1/8 ounce chartreuse shad dart. Nice fights, got a lot of hits and the fish at 6pm. Used 6lb test.

Kazoo - the correct answer is "yes" and anywhere in between.

RPS, just my luck, leaving just when they turned on, nice to hear they still wanna play, hope to make it up that way this weekend, hope all the rain keeps them active, best of luck. Enjoy.

17 today. Seem to still be fresh fish full of pep. 2 more weeks for me and I’ll call it a wrap.

Waded for two hours between Bushkill and Dingmans tonight. Went 12 of 14 hookups. Plenty of decent roe to 4lbs. About ten other hard hits that did not stick. Oddly the roe I kept has eggs that are very under-developed. More white than orange and usually closer to spawn they are very red. First two shad hit a David Perruso size zero purple crush - the rest of the hits were on 1/16 ounce pink head glow white body with white UV tail. I kept the first fish to put a catfish line out and also got the eggs. No cat hits. I saw no signs of spawning. Water was mid 50’s.

Fished Zane Grey tonight from shore 5:30 - 7:30 hooked 11 landed 10 water temp. was 57.9 deg.

Managed 11 today that put me at 209 caught and released so far.

Fished Zane grey from 3-6pm, hooked 2 landed 2, I am happy, I guess I should have stayed a little later.

Was up to 39 and they were hitting great and then my reel seized up from all the reeling and catching. Great day out there.

Nahh It was a week ago.
