Yeah I've navigated some crazy water out there in last 6 years yesterday wasn't too bad but without power thts the scary part after drifting for 3 minutes jus drop anchor and weather it out. Just couldn't get at the shear pin safely had all i needed to fix it on spot but I jus decided to swallow my pride, put my life first and call for the tow and didn't want to pay 250$ from sea tow so I called the boys in blue for what was prob the first time of my life calling 911 but I pay taxes so its only right I take advantage of tht system. Hey I owe them two guys from philadelphia police marine unit a lot the winds and rains were brutal just anchored up helpless. Sad ending to a trip tht produce only one rat and a nice cat. On my way out now....
Tks for the concern everyone!

With the way I been skunked and then beet up yesterday, those 2 footers rolling up river jus didn't make me to excited about bein out with 2 in the boat today. If I was alone prob woulda gave it a shot but never even took the boat off the rack went and took ride to Frankford arsenal to see if i could fish in close without getting beet up but even tho sign says open April 1st it still had gate closed and closed sign up. So wont b on the river til Friday. Shoulda had my butt up earlier like intended the winds are jus to much at this time of day today.

fished from 130 to about 3 ups nothing not even a cat still waiting on the blitz guess they gonna be around in a week or 2 lets go

Got good news and great news....good news first: got info on the shad netters in the bay as well as minnow netters in back creeks of delaware bay. Shad netters have pulled their nets due to no shad and nets filled with 30"-36" bass and no shad claiming every net filled with these class bass. Bay is chocked full they say so much tht even back creeks are filled with bass. Minnow netter reports releasing 3 striped bass from minnow net 30, 32, 36" bass and one released got taken by a seal right in front of him.
Here's the great news.....bass can travel estimated 20 miles a day when they are answering the call of nature ( ie. migration )
5-10 days we will start seeing those bass in our waters in and around Philly. Hopefully a week or so after tht we start seeing the real cows from say '98 class and older. To all those putting in ya time it's about to pay off soon keep at it. Catch'em up.

I'm out here now under the CBB just got out here I haven't got no hits yet let me know if you see me mu fish

[City Slicker HillBilly]

I guess I better get back out there before you two catch em all

[mu fish]

Sorry guys I wasn't the one catch'en'em friend of mine was down there and caught 4 from 28"-36" (in 2 hrs) all on bloods had me pumped at work so I linked up with Saltlife right from work and we fished ups along the banks (didn't have time to grab the boat) and we fished from 6:30-10pm and we caught 3 shorts all on bloods and had non-stop action the whole time missed at least 10 hits. All in all good trip for a last minute straight from work trip. And I don't even bank fish the Big D so u know I was pumped if I was willing to fish the banks.

Stalker here, ha ha read a lot, don't post much but over the course of 3 years I have acquired a boat with some balls finally and I am ready to hit the river for the spring run of stripers.
