Hit the water around 1pm fished til 1:30pm yeah u read it correct ..... Not having the best season so far hoping it all pays off soon.
Step pop had heart attack out on the boat 1/2 hr in and had to cal ambulance on the water to meet me at the dock got him in the ambulance and put boat back on the rack and headed to hospital

Did have 2 bangers smack 2 rods at once but happen at same time as the attack so not a chance to get'em (salt herring) talked to another boater tht was on way in as I was going out they didn't c a fish all morning.

Won't back out til sat. Breaking out the chubs trout clam bloods bunker bout to put full court press on these bass from here on out!

Sorry mu fish, hope all goes well for dad, my thoughts are with you all, Chuck

My son just caught a shad near the rail bridge in morrisville.

Tks chuck!

So I have good news and bad news....
Hickory shad and herring have made it up small creeks pretty far up too thts the good news.
Bad news is there is tons of herring never saw so many in this creek and I watch'em every year the reason this is bad is because thts the reason the bite has gone down on top of the spawn bass r now keying in on herring and hickory shad almost exclusively thts jus the way it goes they need to fill up fat reserves to treck back out the river I'd say bloods are a waste of money at this point. Clam chubs salt herring bunker is prob the bait of choice now as well as trout and if u can get it fresh bluefish would work well to.
Won't be out til sat smh so someone catch one for me before then!

Yeah I have didn't know to much about regs when I first started fishing and i caught and kept 3 hickory shad out the creek not knowing Wht it was mistook it for herring since at the time i never saw one so i had them frozen and chunked them caught couple nice bass on them tht season. I would think any shad (maybe big gizzard even) alewife or things similar would work around a hungry bass.


This was years and years ago and I haven't done it since.
