Caught a shad

[NJ219bands]

Went ultralight fishing 🎣 in muddy, flooded 50 degrees Carnegie Lake this afternoon in the rain and fog during a nor’easter, small craft advisory and flood warning. There was a swift current in the lake from flood water release. The Delaware River flow at Trenton, NJ, was a new record for the date. Met two guys in the parking lot who enjoyed reading my posts on the Internet. Three people were fishing 🎣 in the river with an umbrella ☔️. They caught a catfish. I caught and released a gizzard shad with Walmart red worm 🪱 halves on 4 lb test line. Took pictures. Winter flood fishing 🎣 in Central Jersey really sucks. I may try waterfowling instead.

Cool how you ran into some members! Be interesting to hear how you guys ran into each other!? Keep the reports coming!

Something about upstream shad gets me so amped... probably because they remind me of stripers! Great post as always.

It'd a gizzard shad, not an American shad.
