@mufish

Are you fishing south of trenton? I've been trying to convince my buddy to start striper fishing but he keeps telling me they are too far down in the bay.

Just at least give me some excuse to make him start fishing for em!! (normally I'm fishing around the morrisville area)

Thanks!

Made it out Saturday, fished fairmount first and caught 1 rat then stopped at neshaminy for a while, skunked. Nice to be on the water again

nailed some big cats back to back yesterday in the cold, but still no stripes for me.

Water was 44 where I was at. This winter is really hanging on, looks cold this upcoming week too.

Heading out should be on the water by noon to fish til sundown....ill do an on the water report a Lil later...

To cold to do on the water report but anyway here goes..

Did some brief scouting with the electronics and surprisingly enough I began marking fish not long after leaving the ramp and marked fish at several locations and marked them on the GPS to come back to later after I checked in on my regular 6 spots.
Made my first cast into 7ft deep 42 degree water with a slight bit of floating debris. It only took 12 minutes to landed the first catty (again this fish was ice cold) (bloodworm) then nada so we moved so we moved a bit fishing my normal early season spots not landing a fish but worms were alwas pecked at so lightly couldn't tell till reel in and saw the evidence. So after the normal circuit of spots I went back to the places I marked fish earlier and they were still in the general locations they were earlier. Again worms were pecked apart and salt herring was picked up and drop several times. Finally at one location I landed another catty in 27' of water tht was 43 degrees on bloodworm. Long cold day fished til 5pm and no stripers caught! Smh still no skunk I guess but catfish are my fresh water skates when striper fishing lol all in all things are starting to shape up mark g way more fish then the pervious trips just couldn't get them active and I jiged them drifted for them and even had a good chum slick going just couldn't get'em on the hook. I guess my predictions for a late run is holding true still surprised I couldn't raise a bass this day. Might try tomm in the rain and snow ill let y'all know.

[Gravy Job]

[BANKSBULLY]

Damn its takin to long for this weather to break it better be a super blitz when they come cant wait till its in the 50's steady

[yofish]

Ok i fished outgoingtide surf near tacony ,never lost a worm i know its early ,april 7,14 is tge best fishing however i do believe these fish move no matter what hope they dont just cruise by ,tight lines

[always the eels]

Not even going to bother fishing for them this weekend. Too cold and the water will only be in the low forties for temp. I think its not going to be until the first weekend in April when things start to pick up. Until then I'll just have to work on building my new rods for the summer.

Can't wait till they start moving though!
