I launch from Pa I have Pa Licence and am registered with various agencies. I do my best to follow the guidelines and protect our fishery. I use both in line an off set circles I have not gut hooked more than 3 fish in past 3 seasons an the ones I did had hooks removed with very little stess put on te fish.

Been fishing below CBB all season. We have had a few decent days, but nothing consistent. My friend caught his second 40" striper on Wed in DE water. Went out again yesterday from 4-7:30pm. The weather and conditions were perfect, but we caught nothing but perch and a few cats on bloods. Only marked a few decent fish, but no action. Anyone else been fishing this area?

Ill be going out tomorrow idk where yet though, probably gonna chase some cattys because I cant seem to consistently catch any fish at Palmyra cove. Maybe try out a new spot .

[chemteacher]

We are heading out early Sunday AM to fish the end of the high tide until ?? Hoping to find some more cows. The water temp has been 57 so I don't think all the fish have spawned yet.

Nah bro just love to fish learn and interacwith others tht have the same passion. I'm not hear to argue back and forth this thread is jus to catalog my spring and share with other my experiences and knowledge and meet some good ppl along the way

Something I jus want to note : every year around this time most ppl are using river herring and they r almost certainly the main forage for mature bass tht move up river. If there has been a drop off in numbers I think I would be more incline to say tht clams bunker salt herring are all well known forage for bass but at different times of the year each of them have a time and place and right now the herring r the time and place bass will key in on this while bypassing something tht seems outa place.
Also the eel migration has jus begun in the last week or so I jus can't see a reason the bass would jus drop and leave.
Jus an odd thought it gets a Lil more detailed in my head lol but maybe u catch my drift. I love trying to figure these bass out.

not that i know of. as of last saturday i got zilch at bulls island and the only action i saw where shad being caught. a fsherman who was pursuing shad caught 30 but no herring. the shad run started early this year, which i thought the herring and strioers would also but that doesnt seem to be the case. find the herring and that should be a good indication of stripers in you area. i am south of you and as of yet no herring.

we are both working this weekend so it looks like will will be out early monday morning and fish all day. with the temps down a few degrees we decided to try baitfishing one more time. no more bloods though to many perch, will be working with clam and herring in the ussal spots. will keep you guys posted how we do.

Went out today from 6-3, hoping for some catties with the boy. The setups were some 8-9' rods 2/0 circles and livers on slip rigs. And what do you know hook into a hog of a striper. Get her about 10ft from shore and she breaks me off on a screeching run. keep in mind i have 30lb braid. No fish but a great story
