Well since no one else got to it I'll throw this up here..
I'll be heading to the river soon.. 60 hour weeks the last few And it's been hard to get much time.. Gonna try to get out in the next few days so hopefully I'll update this soon..

Throw up a report or two if you get out this year let's try to keep this place alive for the philly area!!

So 1 flat at around 20 lbs.. And on a bunker chunk as something different..
Also had live sunny and a creek chub that didn't get touched.. All in all it was a good night it was nice to get out.

Glad.to hear ya got 1 man. You are sure right about it being to be out. I always have the winter funk towards the end of the winter, but this year it got on me bad , I start getting a little testy when I don't get enough river time.

Got out earlier this week at that mouth of the creek again and got a few channels and 1 more flat in the teens nothing big.. Have heard of a lot more fish being caught in the area so it's getting good..
Now with all this rain and next week looking really good I think it's time to get out a lot more..
Also bought some colored glow paint for the rods both green and orange so hopefully that helps a bit at night.. Ill keep that updated in case anyone cares.
