Fished the hols for about 45 minutes after dropping off my wife. Caught the last bit of low tide before the current went kaput. Third cast fish on! I saw three fish on the bank when I got there, but as soon as the current stops the fish are gone. They are moving straight up stream. I had a second fish on after another ten minutes on Knotabassturd's eggs, good lookin out man! Was a great 45 minutes, but I'm getting a net, because I lost both fish at the bank. Probably about six pounds on the first fish, 10 on the second. Spent most of my time helping this young kid learn how to drift fish, rather than fishing. I figure karma will give me my reward tomorrow morning at sunrise. When the tide was coming in I was the only one hooking into fish. I'm pretty sure that I've got it down pat, so I'll bank the fish tomorrow. If you're out on the river I'll show you what I'm doing to get the fish, because we need to catch these buys before they go upstream and turn dark! Closed above 405 and I'm almost certain the upper river is loaded with hungry fish. There's been a school of fish every night for the past week. Get out there and catch them while they're bright! And if you bring a net, be ready to net my fish. Hahaha!

nate- I'll net them things for you if I am there when you hook one and will definitely bring a net :-) Saturdays are probably best chance for me to get out there, maybe I can make it next weekend. Sounds like you are one of very few getting them dialed in on the Duw! And in very short amounts of time too. Nice work.

Man how do you do it was there today at sunrise until about 930 nobody caught a fish about 15 of us fishing and nothing. Drifting eggs with corkie tried w/o corkie more weight less weight only thing I didn't change was leader length about 3 feet. Where are you fishing at I was just north of the little store in allentown around the bend

I had 2 hook ups this morning under the bridge one never stopped running after about 60 yards I had this bright idea of just barely give my drag a couple clicks I guess it was too much and snap.The other one I tussled with and lost it . I'm 0 for 8 down there.

Bassin253 - I put in my time trying everything and figured out where the snags are. I drift the eggs with a long leader and an egg loop and no weight. I've had the most action on spinners, which is awesome, because it's more fun. You want to reel them in real slow just above the bottom so the blade is spinning really slowly. The fish will follow it up real vicious.

Knot - I'm gonna be out there next saturday with my dad! He's hooked now too.

Apparently the nets were out all the way acros the river today. I think I'm done going during the week unless I'm there already, it was ridiculous. The river was empty all morning save for a few that made it through.
