tried fishing some new spot this afternoon north of bulls island but couldnt b/c of shallow swift water, and i was going for catfish so it wasnt good for that, along with a group of annoying tubers belonging to a summer camp, and the spot itself had too many overhanging trees making it hard to cast, so i decided F*** this and went to a boat ramp about a mile downstream.
fished there until 6...too many jet skis and boat traffic scaring away the fish, plus a bunch of eels stealing my bait
(caught a huge one at least 24 inches) but i walked down a path and climbed down the bank at the start of the D&R feeder canal. casted chicken liver near a submerged brush pile, waited 2 minutes, BAM!! hooked up to a nice 23 3/4" channel cat, being the first catfish i caught out of the river in 2 years. so i didnt feel like it was a complete waste...
anyone know of better shore fishing spots for the big cats between the lambertville and milford areas?
