Couple of mega-panfish...
 

Some Delaware river fish. Hit one of the slower areas and found plenty of panfish. No smallies and just a few small largemouth around.

Nice. A few of those fish will qualify you for a Skillful Angler Award.

I don't see many smallmouths in the slow, muddy sections of the river. They mainly seem to prefer the rocky sections of river with a current.

That Bluegill would love a free piercing from one of my 8/0 RIVER MONSTER hooks! LOL! Solid action dude!:D

yeah right i know what you're thinking....hmmmm giant bait!

Re: Couple of mega-panfish...
 

Grub rules! I did have one nice largie on a buzzbait but it jumped twice and was history :-(

Main river was busy with boat traffic. Only one boat came near me in three hours in the shallow/slow area I was in.

If you go up Old Mine Road, watch out for potholes. Some will cause serious car damage.

love those grubs.i am no stranger to the obstacles along old mine road. that road can get sketchy after the depu boat launch and the poxono launch.
