Default Re: Which species to target 4/18-4/20

I had to vote Shad as I know they're there and biting now. The only problem is now is a crappy time with the water just having risen a few feet, and the cold front that came in. This past Tuesday was a good day, but yesterday saw few bites. I'd still hit the Delaware tho as others echoed, they're only there 1 time of year, and it's now. I personally think next weekend will be much better, but if I had to go fish somewhere this weekend, it'd still be the Delaware. You can pick up the odd Bass or Walleye, as well. Are Walleye checked off his list?

For Musky, I wish him luck, more luck than I've ever had lol. I've had a few surface chases and 1 grab. The grab while fishing for Trout, and the Musky obviously chomped right thru the line. They're a hard fish to catch, especially fishing from shore. I'll tell you I've had all my Musky sightings at the Monksville Reservoir, right where Wanaque river feeds into the lake, in 3-5' of water....and from shore. I'll just wade thru the water to cross the river, once it warms up.

Whatever you go for, best of luck and post pics!
