Went ultralight jigging in a 72 degree tributary of a tributary of the tidal Delaware River on the low tide this evening. Weather was sunny and cold during an east wind small craft advisory. Saw mulberries on the ground while walking to my spot. A double crested cormorant was standing on a downed tree in the lake. Found a large Eastern red bellied turtle. Took pics. A large group of foreigners were illegally fishing π£ within 100β of the fish π ladder. A young boy and girl followed me downstream and kept fishing in the next pool downstream from where I was fishing. Crowd fishing is not fun. Caught and released a largemouth bass, bluegill and 50 red breasted sunfish with 1/32 oz Big Eye jigs on 2 lb test line in two hours. Found 11 turtles π’ this year. A few of the sunnies were spawned out females but most were still gravid.

You should check out areas where Mulberries can fall into the water, Carp may come to feed on Mulberries when they fall ,
Youβre right. Thatβs the easiest way to catch carp but I donβt know where mulberries fall into carp water.

Call the game warden on the foreigners illegally fishing. They may catch them in the future.

Beautiful fish pics Band. Get what you said about crowdfishing. I don't like it either and what can you do when a large group are breaking the law. One person you might be able to speak to. Unfortunate!
