Delaware Valley Tackle

I've seen this scene play out 3-4 times in the last couple weeks: Right around sunset in 2-4 feet of water, dozens of what apear to be 2-3 inch bluegills busting the surface all at once. Action lasts 2-3 burst of 30 seconds or so. My question is, is this feeding activity on the part of the sunfish or are they being forced to the surface by a predator like bass or walleye?

Good deal! Ordered one today. Thanks guys.

Like the others said, check the articles. The beginner section is very informative without being too simplistic. Don't get overwhelmed by advanced tactics right away, You can catch lts of fish with a few basic lures and presentations. Check topo maps for small bodies of water in the area you fish. Small ponds can grow big fish and don't require a boat. Good luck!

Thanks, The tackle shop I looked at wanted waaaaay more!

Is a regular hair dryer on high hot enough to apply abalone veneer? The heat gun is a little pricey. Thanks for your thoughts!

Greeley and Shohola Reservoir produce some nice fish but are electric motor only. Crappie and pickerel available too.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, actually, forums in general but have been fishing for everything that swims in fresh water since I was a kid. Relocated from upsate NY 3 yrs ago to Milford PA near the Delaware Water Gap National Park. Mostly fishing the small lakes and ponds from a small jon boat and the river from the banks. Don't know too many people here yet so if you want to fish let me know.
