Can’t wait to come home from Afghanistan in March and start fishing again. They really need to put in some fishing ponds over here.

Went on Friday…they are still there. I caught four and lost just as many - I got to loosen the drag to keep from ripping the hook out of their mouths.

I havent fished for em in years. Need to get back out and give it a try

Fished this morning up at the lift for bout 3 hours and froze my but off! Lines got wet wind blowing 22 mph not a bite.

I was up that way picking up a boat motor, the ramp looked fairly full. I couldn’t gather the cahones to brave the wind this morning. There’s mid 70’s in the forecast this week ill wait it out. . .

Sunday afternoon, My daughter caught 1 near the bank. Saw several caught by other boats, a kid in another boat caught a 20lb striper on the green grubs while fishing for shad.

Yesterday afternoon pretty thick at times.

Left side was better then last hour of Day right side turned on.

How big are the herring being caught? Or are they still being caught? Over 10"?..looking to maybe come down in about a week. Is that too late?

I haven’t seen any herring caught yet, or folks fishing for them…I think it is still too early - water was around 49 degrees the other day.

Tried the herring Wed afternoon with no luck. A few shad were caught. But they were not running water!

Are the Shad still around? Trying to decide if it’s worth running up there this weekend. Thanks for any info!

Shad won’t depart for at least another 5 weeks, they aren’t as active yet as they should be soon.


Saying “I am offended” is telling everyone else that you cannot control your own emotions, and thus you need everyone else to do it for you.

I have been merking the shad. a couple small Herring taps here and there and then did catch two herring on monday. usually i am by myself and look pretty out of place, but if you stay put and be consistent with your depth the fish are always there.

ALL GINKED UP

fished 11AM to 3PM and the shad, mostly bucks, were good no matter where you were, both sides and it didn’t matter how far away you were from the coveted front spots. I was hoping for some herring so before I left I tried the middle with sabiki rigs and all I got was small shad. I also saw some poor guy get run into and almost sunk. He lost one of his rods and his tackle box was full of water. Close call but at least he didn’t have to swim.

What’s the word on the shad? Roe shad showed up yet?
