water temps

[smoking gun]

checked water temps today down in the muddy D it's at 38...last year we had bass march 16th on shad bodies this year it's starting slow some fish down south around the Delaware memorial bridge.well this weekend I'll be heading back down south past the mason Dixon line to catch some slob bass

I'm shooting for an April 15 launch for bass in RB.......they should be around in numbers by then.

 

Good luck down south!

Lots and lots of snow is still covering the ground throughout the upper Delaware drainage.  That's what's keeping river temps so low as it slowly melts.  It is great for our badly depleted groundwater supplies as well as our reservoirs, but not so good for early spring fishing.  But after our current drought, I'll take a snowy melt-off any day!  This will greatly help our trout waters....

Totally agree - I never really considered march much of a fishing month anyway, traditionally would have ice fished Jan/Feb with some wood cutting, March is a wood splitting month and starting to "think" about fishing...   This snow did more good than bad overall for better fishing in April/May.
