Smallmouth Crush on the Delaware

[Gerry Zagorski]

One of the most amazing days of fishing I’ve ever had. We stopped counting at 50 fish and also had one Walleye.

Jake and got a treat fishing with Mikey Topaz on his custom built drift boat. This thing is sweet and comfortable. https://www.facebook.com/MikeKGuideService

Fast Eddie, Luke and Barry Kayaked and crush them too

If you haven’t done a trip like this I would highly recommend it. The fishing is insane and so was the scenery as well a watching a bald eagle swoop down and grab a fish.

Really great trip which I’ll never forget.

Good times had by all on the mighty D! The Smallies up there are like friggin’ Piranhas. Awesome to see you and Jake out there on the drift boat catching fish after fish. Congrats on your first Walleye too Cap’n Gerry! Man, I love that area!
TIGHT LINEZ!

Looks great. Would like to take my son (11) on one of these guided smallmouth trips. Is there a best month to go for smallmouth on the Delaware?

[Gerry Zagorski]

My first time for me but I’m told August is the best month and you and your son will absolutely love it.

Looks like the Milford / Montague bridge in the back drop. If so, nice float, very productive and beautiful stretch of the Delaware. Nice seeing the smallies population flourishing again, the Big D can at times be a tough river to fish but at the same time is one gem of a diversified fishery and a beautiful part of the state. Sounds like you guys hit it right and had a great float, couldn't ask for a better day on the water.

Were most fish caught on artificials or hellgrammites and crayfish for the smallmouths. We're they concentrated in the rapids, deeper pools or spread out?

Did you see any signs of this year's juvenile shad fry on the river during your drift? September and October they typically start skipping their way on the surface down the river, curious if you saw indications of their presence during your trip.

Fantastic report.

Knew it the second I had to bail. Great trip Gerry, Mikey sure knows how to find them. On the mend and will reschedule as soon as my PT and other treatments are over!
