I love what that little birdie said. I will be out tomorrow, channel 17 if you want. I will be in an old white and orange 17 foot tri hull. Hope to see y'all catching them up tomorrow, Chuckles.

It's killing me but I'll be land locked. If you're near little Tinicum Island just past The Deck I'll be helping work finish moving into our new building. I'll be waving. Good luck!

Sorry about that, but we all got to pay the bills. Have you noticed if the dock is in at the Frankford Arsinal yet. Thanks, Chuckles

Logging 24 hours on Sunday and Monday I'll be all up and down the river cow chasing with clams eels bloods and bunker and hopefully some live trout and live perch. Catch'em up

Went down to ups. Lots of people there when the tide came in. Stayed for 3 hrs only got a catfish, but it's my first of the year so it's in the books!

Yup should be a good trip today no rains lately temps climbing steadily lets get'em first cast in 1/2 hr. Catch'em up.

Fished between the bridges across from the arsenal today. Windy and tide was really moving. Water temp was 50, but no fish.

Just wrapped it up for the day. So after a brief motor issue, that had me pull the boat when it wouldn't start was about to run to phila boat but I dry ran it and just to much gas in the line. So we dropped back in and fished 10:30am-8:00pm we managed 4 between 18"-22" all caught on fresh bunker. Drifted eels for the first few hours today missing 1 and dropping another. Anchored up once the tide turn wind against tide 18mph or better whipping up the river made it tuff plenty bites had one good flury of action and we got all 4 in a 2 hour stretch step pop grabbing the biggest we dropped another and missed 4 solid runs. Didn't move much and ran a constant chum line (3-5 lil pieces of bunker every 2 minutes like clockwork plus 3 whole hanging in the water) for 5 hours straight calmer winds might have given up better results. Be back out tomorrow for the other half of 20hrs. Catch'em up.

Nice Mu. I was out early during incoming tide and the wind wasn't helping. I was using bloods and clams. Hope for better luck next weekend.

Nada on the bloods and clams. I see the winds will be up again tomorrow even worse I'm still going to be out there might get alil wet gettin there this time with a later start I want to hit the creek in the am to see is shad and herring are in this one of the first places I personally get to see them and gage numbers if they are up striped bass should be up (in numbers that is). Funny thing tho I didn't mark a single fish today.

Not looking like a lot of fun today and should only get worse when the tide turns but I'm out here pray for me lol

Made it out yesterday, managed one 24" released her because she was full of eggs. Also caught a hand full of small ones. Fished two hours before high tide to four hours into outgoing. Clams and blood worms. The keeper fish took a blood worm.
