That's awesome.

I've seen people catch large stripers on the Delaware in the middle of summer not far from where the river I think you were fishing at spills into the Delaware. I can message you more details if you want.

You definitely need a waterproof phone case. When you're fishing, everything inevitable ends up in the water at some time. It doesn't have to be an expensive $90 Lifeproof case. You can buy the soft waterproof bag-type phone cases that cost $10-15.

Thanks all!! Wasn't sure if they were residents or refugees. I definitely thought I would find more workin towards the D but nada? Right place, right time I guess!

As for the phone, I do have a water proof case but I hate using it. Takes to long to take the phone out of the case, take a pic, and release the fish. And, it's hard to get a good pic with the phone in the case..... Gotta say, I would definitely reccomend any model HTC smartphone!! They take a beating!!

Love those river stripers, even the smaller schoolies are kickass fighters.

If you want to really dry it out put it in a ziplock bag with rice, but if it's working it might be good already. Sounds like a pretty good day anyway!

Nice job on the linesides G! There are actually resident stripers in the D, have been for many years now. I've personally caught them as far up as 10 miles above Port Jervis, NY and have seen them on occasion up into the W. B. Delaware up to Shehawken. First time I saw one up that high was in '96 or '97 can't recall for certain just now. A guy was playing an approx. 14" brown on a fly rod right in front of the parking lot at Shehawken when a striper about 36" came up and inhaled it. The guys shocked expression was absolutely priceless!

I've also seen them up in many D tribs including the Musky and Paulinskill in NJ and the Brodhead in Pa. The mouth of the Lehigh at Easton is a popular striper spot.
