Smallmouth bass were feeding aggressively in the Delaware River, said Bill from Brinkman’s Bait & Tackle in Philadelphia. One customer drifted grubs and minnows for a catch of 36 smallies, a 25-inch walleye and a 20-inch striped bass in the late afternoon. Another drifted down to the wing dam area to pull in 16 smallmouths from 13 to 16 inches that attacked Tiny Torpedos. The New Hope area produced 40 smallmouths for a customer who worked poppers. Washington’s Crossing and Yardley were also hot spots for the bronzebacks, though most of fish there were under 12 inches. Grubs, tubes and poppers worked well. Herring were running at dark, and customers said they saw the river lit up with jumping herring and shad. Catfish anglers headed to the jetty at Neshaminy Marina and to Station Avenue to pull on larger channel cats to 10 pounds that Hoovered shrimp, chicken livers and bagels.
