There is a thin line between New Jersey and Pennsylvania and
it is buried beneath the cool, clean water from New York. This cool, clean water from New York races
with a swift current and prances along the rocky shoals; reminding us what beauty
really is and the natural dangers mother natural possesses, all at the same time. This simple line, cutting through eastern side of the Appalachian Mountains, I have come to know as the
Delaware River; I have found no greater gift in the State of New Jersey than
her mystifying shorelines and the wonderful fishery she is.
Walpack Bend
To that, I spend these cold winter months outlining all the
things I yearn to accomplish this coming season of 2014... and here they are in descending order of difficulty:
6. Fish the Walpack Bend. From boat or from shore, it does not matter but I want to see this.
5. Spent one day fishing Silver Lake for Perch
4. Land a 5 pound largemouth bass
3. Land 20+ Smallmouth from the Delaware this year
2. Land 6 walleye this season. (2a) one from Monksville Reservoir and (2b) one from Swartswood Lake
1 Land a Delaware River Grand Slam; 3 walleye (18+ inches each) and 5 smallies (12+ inches each).
