~*~ Delaware Night 07-27-2015~*~

This will be short and sweet.

Got to the river at 8pm left around 1:30am

Some flatheads and stripers and missed a bass that chased my shiner when I was realing it in.

Thanks Eddy for the sweet spot. Challenge accepted. LoL

were you in the tidal delaware for the flathead? anytime i have gone in my area of the river i only get channels even with the live panfish baits

[FASTEDDIE29]

He was in the PROMISED LAND Jmurr! Invasive species hunting in NJ. So easy a caveman can do it. Well done Andre, well done. How did that Flathead taste? 2nd day on the Flathead grounds with one in the bag.

YEA BUDDY!!!:D

[Andrushkin33]

Ha ha ha.

Just like chicken my brother.

Too bad I didn't have any seasoning.

Pretty much just cut him up, cleaned him out and on a grill he went.

But man, that roasted catfish smell...... I am surprised I didn't get all the bears in the neighborhood for dinner.

Congratulations on the Flathead.
I want to fish for a Flathead, but I'm afraid of the dark. :eek:

I'm curious as to taste of this species of catfish. I'm told Flatheads taste much better than Channel Catfish, but that's not all that hard to do.

Congrats Nice fish, how big was the striper? any size to him?

[Jedhead]

Congrats on the nice catch! Eat all the flatheads you can! Sounds like had a good time.

[Andrushkin33]

Thank Thank you.

As far as taste goes it was better tasting than channel, but still debating if it will beat white.

One striper was a baby, probably born and raised in Delaware while the second one was pushing 18 inches.

Both were released.

i kept a small channel from a very clean lake during the ice fishing season and it was absolutely delicious! what are you guys even talking about? what are you eating giant channel cats from one of nj's muck disgusting lakes? hahaha

nice flathead bro, i was going to fish PA to try for my first but i keep being told there are tons in NJ...i almost believe it hahaha

[Matt A.]

small flatheads taste quite superior to channels imho
i tried eating a big one and it was very fatty

Agreed!!!

I think a lot of anglers stopped talking about there catches due to the fact that the state wants this exciting and very strong gamefish destroyed. Let them think what they want. Every time I flip a rock at 1 of 2 rivers in September I find a baby Flathead or a swarm of them. I for 1 am thankful that these predators have made it up the river as far as they have. Looking to do my 2nd Flathead trip of the season Saturday night.

See you fellas out there!

TIGHT LINEZ!!!

I saw loads of baby cats last night. Lil one inchers. The one I caught last week on the RR had an empty gut but was full of eggs. Got her on a plug too. Pretty nuts. How big was yours Andre?

Looks much bigger than it actually was. I say about 6-7lbs

I enjoy channel cats from the upper delaware from clean flowing water. Think they taste great but with that said flatheads are by far by favorite catfish species to eat. Blue cats are pretty good as well.
