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!

Thank you 420!! I appreciate all the great info and the story about Musky grab!!!
Problem is I have my son every other weekend, the other he is with my ex and @14 i know his friends and GF will soon be taking up even more of his time so I'm really trying to make the most out of my weekends like this one with him, hence my original post here. Walleye he hasn't talked about but i'm sure he wouldn't complain in the slightest bit if he landed one
Thanks again for the info, best of luck to you as well and hopefully (crossing all my fingers) thanks to all the nice people here who posted I will be able to follow up with pic's with lot's of shad after a great day on the water with my son!
