ok shad fishing yesterday

[bunker dunker]

1st, I have to say how beautiful a place the Delaware river is this time of year.
the shad bite was very lite yesterday morning.i fought 5 and landed three.they were not smashing the dart like they were sunday.the three shad I landed were all roe's and were released unharmed.they are just an amazing fish with long runs and many jumps during each battle.all fish came on 1/4oz chartreus
and green w/ white bucktail.i think the water dropped a few degrees that night as my truck read 34 degrees when I pulled up to the river at 6am.will be heading back up sunday.
