Met up with the Rutgers crew at the ladder falls. We were able to PIT tag 2 shad today, had another one on but never got it to the net.
WhitePerch-A-Palooza continues, white perch everywhere !!

Water cleared up fast from Fridays rain, pretty clear up at Duke Island.
Water went from 68* on May 2nd to 56* today.
I think there are remnants of vestigial fins visible on those feet.

Explains a lot:

Spawned in the Raritan River, perhaps, in a tire.
