Big D this morning

[Eskimo]

I was North of where you were and did okay this afternoon despite the scorching sun in a clear sky, low clear water, hundreds of anglers running up and down the river on full plane, and an endless stream of those outfitter canoes.

Have there always been this many herring on the Delaware or did this happen after the Columnaris disease killed off the majority of Smallmouth Bass? There were schools and schools of those herring, even in mid-afternoon.

I caught a half-dozen Smallmouths with the largest going a respectable sixteen inches and a big twenty-five inch Channel Catfish.
