Fishing Log

Fished Sparrowbush and Port Jervis from 7:30 - 3 on Saturday. I managed 10 shad during that time. The takes were extremely subtle, not even what I would call bumps, more just a bit of pressure on the line. Hopefully the end of this week will give us some nice stable weather up north.

Sorry for the late report:......I got to Easton at noon last Friday and was out of the water at 2:59 and on my way to a concert in Bethlehem (in which my GF was singing) I found the groove while I was there, landing between 30 and 40 fish on double dart rigs. It was as good as I've ever experienced. Toward the end of the time it was just me and another guy fishing below the falls. He couldn't buy a hit and every fish I hooked he stepped a little closer. As I finished he was just about within an arm's reach. I got back for exactly 2 hours of fishing on Saturday afternoon and the bite was MUCH slower. I only landed 6 or 8 but hooked at least a dozen. I don't know what was going on, but I must have lost 10 darts in that 2 hours. Friday afternoon I had on the same dart rig when I left as when I started. Oh, and the guy from the day before was there and said that he finally got the hang of it and the fishing turned on for him from 4 to 6 PM. I was very happy for him. I hate it when I make people sad by catching too many more fish.

Split trip Saturday afternoon in weather so nice - I forgot what it felt like. (Short lived though). Wanted to spend a few hours seeing if I could find that red-hot blistering shad bite that has eluded me all season, but that wasn't to be. Scratched out 7 including one big roe but the rest were very small roe barely 3lbs if that. Kept a bleeder for fresh catfish bait. Proceeded to catch a dozen up to 13#. No back to our regularly scheduled weather pattern!!!!

Landed 22 shad today at Yardley. Water temperature 58 in am. Pm temp 60.4. Also landed 2 striped bass on flutter spoons too.

Anyone know if the shad are still at Easton?

Nice to meet you, yesterday, RPS. Thanks for the Shad advice, and hope to see you on the water. Artie

Shad Harris ya last night was the best this season. ZG is always good when the Del. is rising and muddy it pushes the shad to the shore where the cleaner water from the Lackawaxen dumps in and they just hang there.

Fished Zane Grey launch from shore in the rain tonight 4 - 7:30 pm hooked 40 landed 30 current was tuff tonight river is rising and muddy the Lackawaxen is clear about 50' out from shore water temp 55 deg. Double dart rig green and white 3/8 oz red and white 1/32 oz.

Fished milford beach area 8am to 1pm ... only 1 fish a few boats out and guys hooking up a few not alot of action today but hey the weather was great Water stained Water temp 54

Fished north of Dingman's, south of Port Jervis. Loaded up with big roes. Great morning!

I noticed there are some darts being sold these days that are not on specs. The barb or snell is very undersized and does not protrude very far from the hook shank. If you are not landing a decent percentage of hook-ups, this may be the reason. The barb can be bent out further with a pen knife or pair of dikes, if this is the case. It is not realistic to expect to be able to land a high percentage of fish that can be 6lbs. or more with some of the inferior darts I have seen out there. I realize there are some Puritans among us who bend the barbs flat so as not to injure the fish, and I respect that. But those are the facts.

Launched Sandts Eddie. Water high and stained. Not muddy. Temp 52.9 plenty of parking no fish yet

Any readers on the water this morning? Conditions? Muddy? Stained? Water temp?

Action very good today. Super slow retrieve triggered the strikes although that contributed to numerous misses. Warmer temp should lead to harder hits. Some jumbo roe in the mix.

I managed 5 shad in 3 hours down in Bushkill. I know it's not huge numbers, but I got a feel for a new spot. The bonus was stopping by another spot and talking with Bill F. I got a few more tips from his 30 years of shad fishing and I wanted to give him another thanks here.

Joseph C, which side of the Art Museum? I fished opposite side of it tonight (by I-76) for a bit and got nothing but the tide was really low. Low tide was 7:30 pm. I fished 5 pm to 6:30 pm.

James L. - yeah ill be out on the water not from shore thanks for the heads up tho ill fish toward the nj side. Hopefully the weather holds out

Another good couple of hours fishing by the Art Museum on the majestic Schuylkill River yesterday afternoon. In less than 2 hours I landed 8 bucks and one 6lb (damn big, but I don't have an actual scale) roe. No hickories. I used a flutter spoon, which is unusual for me. Also interesting was that the River herring, which had not been at all visible the day before, were going berserk with their mating activities up along the rocks. ----- Now I'm looking forward to getting back to the Delaware, and maybe bringing home one or two for my annual shad feast.
