Still trying to get Shucker a walleye !!

Shucker might just get a walleye if he comes out the next time I go for them on da rivah. We tried for em all day without really stopping. I don't get skunked going for WALLEYE twice in a row, just something that won't happen. NEEED RAAAIIIN!!!

Nice, I was out there yesterday too scoping some duck hunting spots with my buddy and doing a little fishing. We were both new to this stretch of the river, and I couldnt really find any good holes due to the river being so low. Ended up with 2 short smallies, but I really want a walleye from the big D. Looks like we need to do some more exploring!

There ar soooooo many spots on that river. If you have a chance to jump on a canoe or kayak and float down the river, thats what I've done. But sometimes its easier to walk a river looking and picking apart runs, eddys, deep holes and break lines in the water. I kinda like to watch where the fish are jumping and then figure out why they are jumping in that spot. Maybe theres a tree or a shopping cart that there hiding in. Maybe its a tail out right before some rapids. Lots of options on the D. Tons of fish to catch!!! TIGHT LINES GOOD LUCK!!!

how low and slow is the river right now? will a good electric bow mount move you around or is the main gas motor the only real option?

A canoe or yak would def be awesome there. We were in a 15ft jonboat with a 15 horse and a TM and some sections were a little too low for it. I caught the smallies out of semi deep runs following riffle. I really wanted to fish deeper water, but I couldnt find it. I really haven't fished the delaware much, so I'm happy just to avoid the skunk. I would def like to go back soon and fish it harder though, hopefully find a lunker walleye!
