SHAD HOTLINE REPORT
4/25/01

FRED LEWIS' NETTING OPERATION HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING OVER
THE PAST FEW
DAYS. MONDAY EVENING THE NET HAD AN ESTIMATED 350-500 FISH IN IT.
THERE WERE
ONLY 3 AMERICAN SHAD IN THE NET,BUT THE SMALL MOUTH WERE
OUTSTANDING WITH ONE
OVER 6# AND ANOTHER ABOUT 4.5 #. THE GIZZARD SHAD WERE IN THE
HUNDREDS.
TUESDAY WAS FREDS BEST DAY OF THE SEASON WITH 58 AMERICAN
SHAD IN THE NET ON
ONE HAUL. THIS INDICATES THE RUN IS STILL ON THE UP SLOPE IN
LAMBERTVILLE.
THE PEAK IS YET TO COME THROUGHOUT THE NON TIDAL RIVER SYSTEM.

NOW FOR THE FISHING ACTION, 9 YEAR OLD GREG MIGNELLA LANDED A
WHOPPER MONDAY
IN LAMBERTVILLE WITH AN OFFICIAL WEIGHT OF 5# 14". GREG REPORTED
THE FISHING
WAS GREAT ALL DAY AND HE LEFT THEM BITING.

TUESDAY THE FRONT CAME THROUGH AND THE FISH GOT LOCKJAW
THROUGHOUT THE
SYSTEM. THERE WERE STILL SOME FISH LANDED BUT NOT NEAR AS MANY
AS THE PAST 2
DAYS.

WATER TEMPERATURE HAD RISEN TO 64 DEGREES BY EARLY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON, BUT
FELL BACK TO 62 DEGREES BY TUESDAY EVENING.

REPORTS FROM EARLY WEDNESDAY SUGGEST THE LOCKJAW IS STILL IN
AFFECT. WARMING
TEMPERATURES SHOULD PUT THEM IN A BITING MOOD BY LATE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON OR
FRIDAY.

DON'T FORGET THE LAMBERTVILLE SHAD FESTIVAL IS THIS WEEKEND, SO
COME OUT AND
ENJOY THE FUN OR FISH AT ANOTHER LOCATION IF YOU WANT TO MISS
THE CROWDS.
YARDLEY OR POINT PLEASANT ARE TWO ALTERNATE LOWER RIVER
CHOICES.

DAY AND
