Big Steve Loc: southeastern PA
 
About time! Been out three times different areas along the Delaware River and got skunked.
Water temp has been in the upper 40's.

Real nice day with water temp 54' . Thought I would try another spot a pier in South Philly along
Columbus Blvd. Got there at sunrise about hour an half before incoming tide. Finally one of my rods bent and this cat did not want to get landed.
Put up a great fight; what a blast for first one of the year. After that the wind changed to the southeast. That's all she wrote. Even though only caught one it made my day.

Either cheap hot dog with salt and garlic powder; or so happen to find some chicken nuggets in the freezer.
This cat went for the nuggets.

Usually I try to buy chicken liver and add garlic & salt. My go to for catfish. I haven't been able to buy it anywhere in at least a dozen stores over two year period. Called around to places that sell chicken no luck. Only way I can buy some is by the case.

Steve, look for an IGA food store. I seethere are some in PA but not sure if any are close to your location. They will have some livers.
