Fishing Log

Fine day today along the river. Landed 31 and a bonus walleye.

Hello all. Sounds like some good fishing opportunities. Looking for some advice from you Shad Fishermen. Im A bit green on Shad fishing skills. At this time of year would it be better served to be up by Zane Grey or down by Eshback. Thnx in advance.

Fished Zane Grey from shore 5:30 - 7 tonight hooked 7 landed 5 and one walleye lots of hits not hooking up tonight.

Fished bulls from shore caught 18 on small gold spoon 3 on darts.good 6 to 9 then shut down.

Fished the Zane this afternoon/evening from shore. We landed 4, hooked many. Met RPS on the water and he was very generous with his spot and my kid picked up 2 more. We were running a 1/4 oz. up top and spoon on the bottom, all chartreuse. Shad turned on after 6 PM.

are they catching any in Callicoon ? thanks

A Wolf they started to hit about 6 and went to 6:30 and shut off I stayed to 7 but not another hit.

Fished Zane Grey from shore tonight 5 - 7 hooked 7 landed 6 water temp. was 57.5 they didn't turn on until 6 pm.

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.

No but I will look tomorrow. Will be there at first light

Fished shahola area today river is coming up lots of tree debris caught a ton of fish on poor man's downriggers with small darts from 7 to 12 fish were still hitting when I left because I was cold and wet.fish are starting to stack up in spawning rapids getting ready to spawn.

Fished easton today and really hammered them from 6 to 10 then shut off to a trickle.non stop action on plugs with spoons some on downriggers some on flatlines with darts but lots of nice fish.alot of debris from trees had to clean lines alot but it was worth it. .

Scratched out 9 today. Hard to fish with all the tree debris coming downriver fouling up the line on every cast. All good.

Fished Easton Tuesday and probably landed about 20 - lost more than usual. Moved around to a number of different spots and would pick up a few in most spots before moving again. No particular "hot spot". Moving around kept up some action for most of the day - Fished from about 9 - 6. Mostly bucks.

Maybe last boat trip this season. Set up anchor by 4pm north of Bushkill. Lots of short hits all night long. Well over 50 hits that never stayed on the hook many pulled drag for a second. All they wanted was small pink and white micro darts hence the short hits. Could not get hit on small spoons or any other color or size. Would literally see the rod bounce once, twice, 3 times and then pick it up and fish on then off. Still we netted 26 and a bonus 7.5 lb channel cat to boot on a piece of fresh cut shad. Fun night. Water 62 and that to me explains the finicky bite yet with non stop action. I also saw the most marks on fish finder I have seen all season.

Best day yet so far. 24 caught and released including some real big mamas.

Nick, try Fireman’s Eddy and Lambertville wing dam.

Fished Stockton to Lambertville friday, no shad. saw a few guys catch under the Lambertville bridge on boats. Can anyone where recommend a stretch of river I should wade on Tuesday? New to shad fishing just hoping to catch a few.

No shad today. Hopefully tomorrow. How far up is the main run?

David - The shad bite generally shuts off just before dark (at least in my 40+ years of experience). However, good nocturnal fisheries on the Delaware include striped bass, walleye & catfish.

Was up to 13 caught and released. They were hitting decent then I took a spill and the boots got filled with water. Decided to call it a day.

Fished Zane Grey 5 - 7 tonight from shore hooked 3 landed 2 water temp. 65.6 deg.

Hello, im noob :)

Slow 2.5 hr session last night. 6 of 8 landed and ended the night with a double - two darts one rod. I felt like there were more fish there than I was looking probably a dozen good hard bumps that never hooked up
