Reminds me of the ice cream man is coming.lol..

Caught many, been to the lambertville festival, there have been so many lean years, seems to coming back thank God, I did well and the belvedere area behind Johnny's hot dogs, and up to dingmans ferry, after that I went to trout fishing upstate New York, sad seeing them floating downstream after there spawn.

It’s been since HS days circa 92 that I hit Easton area....one day I will get back up there. Maybe this year!!

It's been a while since I fished Port Jervis to Pond Eddy.  Fun times catching them.

Spring forward, red and white shad darts, killers, for weak fish.

Threw a dart for the hell of it last week, earliest I have caught them is March 14th

I don’t get out a lot but I do get out every year mostly the four days of the tournament. Hopefully the river is manageable. Can’t wait to get this fishing season rolling.

Hopefully we get a good run. Last year was awful in that area. Every time I went nobody was catching anything and the old timers that fish every day said it was a terrible year.

Do they still do the Shad festival in Lambertville ??

[308federal 141]

Years ago there was a "SHAD HOTLINE". Guy gave conditions of water, where they were hitting and how many shad they hauled at Lewis at Lambertville,etc etc. Wonder if that or any derivative is still around? I remember a guy up in Easton that had a van with a big shad dart sitting on the roof. MY HERO!! Lol
