4-29-2006---I fished with a couple friends this evening. Zal, Howard and
I had a decent few hours of fishing. We had plenty of hook-ups but most
of them had soft mouths.... We were 3 for 10 tonight. Zal boated 2, and
Howard landed a nice Buck. I had one close to the boat but lost it before
we could net it. That's Fishing! Water temps are still a little on the cool
side but will warm up in the next few days. The Shad fishing should improve
as the water temps slowly rise above the 55 degree range. IMHO, the water
flow and color are perfect! 7000cfs- @ Port Jervis, NY. See you on the river!

was clearly evident this evening. The Shad are IN! See you on the Water!!

weather was beautiful today! Bright bluebird skies and a nice warming sun
made for a comfortable float today. Water Flow @ Port Jervis, NY 2940cfs.

back out on the Upper Delaware and chase a few fish around...We did not
spot any American Shad today but it is still early yet and the water temps
need to reach 50+ degrees to get them heading north. I still have a few
openings in April and May for this years Shad run. Please feel free to
call or email if you are interested in reserving a date. See ya on the Water!

4-08-2006---Lake Wallenpaupack, PA. The weather didn't look to promising
when Tom Collins and I headed to the "pack" to fish in the NABA-Renegade
2006 Open Partner Circuit today. Todays event was the 1st in a series of
10 events that NABA-Renegade runs through out the year at Wallenpaupack.
The cold, windy, and sometimes snowy weather had most anglers wondering
why they got out of bed this morning! I thought the same thing until we
landed our 1st few fish. Tom and I had a great day boating 5 Large mouth
Bass for a total weight of 19.5+ pounds and taking top honors in todays
16 boat field. My 2nd fish today was a 5.25 pound Large Mouth Bass which
wound up winning the lunker pool! The next event is on Sunday June 18th.

3-11-2006---I floated Knights eddy to Port Jervis with Rich today. Water
flow and Clarity is low and clear for this time of year. Rich and I
figured we could pick up a few Walleye before the season closes in a few
days. The Walleye didn't cooperate but the UDR Brown Trout gave us some
great catch and release action! Rich and I boated 7 nice Browns today!
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-05-2006---Ice Fish or Open water fish..... You pick! This warm winter
weather we are encountering can make it a tough decision. I decided to put
the boat back in the Upper Delaware. Todays fishing was slow but I did
pick up a few Walleye with one pushing the 6 pound range. Winter is not
over yet but once again it was nice fishing some open water in February!
===========================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-22-2006---Is winter over? It's not too often you can float the Delaware
during the month of January! Rich and I caught and released several Walleye
and Smallmouth Bass today. I'm not sure If the warm weather will last, but
fishing the river from a boat this time of year is certainly a rare treat!
