Got to float down the Delaware River on Saturday and what a glorious day it was. Aside from catching 5 smallies, we saw a load of fish. The water level was low and the clarity was as clear as gin. We must have seen 100 shad (or were they chub minnows, we were not sure). I have floated the Delware many times but had never seen so many fish, nor this early in the season so it leads me to believe these must have been shad. We saw about 10 carp, each over 10 pounds, a giant walleye in shallow (28 inches maybe), a couple catfish and of course a load of smallies.
Now is a great time to float the Delaware. The gage level is low, the water is clear and the landscape just beautiful. We also saw a bald eagle and a couple deer.
I also took my brand new GoPro Hero, so hopefully I can start doing some videos too.
Keeping Delaware River smallies huh? I fish these waters almost daily. This is absolutely sicken. Go make a damn sandwich if you wanna eat. If you fish these waters you know that the size quality of the smallies have gone way down. Yet you continue to keep them... not a true sportsman in any sense of the word. totally wrong
