After 23 years I've developed an immunity, along with a healthy amount of not giving a you know what anymore.

I'm on vacation this week, I ain't wasting it.

I'll probably try and get out before the rain tomorrow for a bit and wed I've already got another kyack trip planned with one of my neighbors.

I went out after dinner for a bit and I questioned if I was going fishing or just going for a good sweat in a sauna. Turned out to be just a sauna.

It was so refreshing out on the Delaware. Brisk hot wind blowing up river and slow and low current heading down river. I launched the drift boat and was able to cross and return several time without drifting up or down the river. Fun.
Hey Boot Thanks for the Smallie. Hadn't had a Bass over for dinner in a long time. Live crawler on a #8 hook.

I had forgotten how hard Smallies fight for their size. It was fun. They don’t jump as much as LMB. At first I thought it was a larger cat. But then I saw it and it seemed to set him off as well. Almost 17”. What do you think it weighed, 2.5-3?

Nothing compares to a river smallie. Mine jump, yours must not be inspired lol

 

[Don]

Mine are all inspired. This one had only been to pulling school.
I was at a spot that used to be very good for them and was surprised how few I seen caught there in recent years.

Well if you release them,.....

 

[Don]

Hey, You and uncle Melvin and all the other northern crown should be practicing C &R but with a little professional courtesy…….Release all Smallies into the Delaware so they can come visit with me.

I wonder why? Hate to see that one removed from the gene pool when there’s plenty of 12 and 13” bass with less mercury to feast on. To each their own.

 

[Melvinp]

Can’t hassle anybody that’s eaten um as long as they don’t get wasted but when you put the big ones back they only get bigger and are make way better fishtails

 

[Don]

I normally only eat pannies. Last year I tried to catch some LMB for the freezer but failed. Haven’t eaten a bass in 30 plus years.
How long have you known Gene Pool?

 

[Don]

One thing for sure it was a beautiful night on the Delaware. I had to push the drift boat off dry. It didn’t even get wet backing in. It’s a tilt trailer and that was helpful.

I went out on a White Fly hunt but the wind shut most of the insect action down, still got 5 on fly rod popper. Winds started about
7pm and never quit. Saw several varieties of insects trying to launch including White Flies and Hex flies - big ones. Ran into a giant Orb Weaver on the walk out.

That is the eating size. Though mine was delicious the 12-13" are best. He only Jumped to please you.
I also saw minnows begin to jump out of the water and should I assume that that meant something is chasing them?
Are u on East branch of Sesquahanna?

Any fish in the river fights harder. Stronger currents.

Usually if you see a baitball and they jump, yes something is scaring them down there.

Is there an East Branch? I'm on the North Branch which is east of the west branch so,... maybe
