hopefully they will john, becuase that river is just horrible and I found out that the only reason they lowered the water the other day is so they can finish the new boat ramp in weldon, but once they fix that they are gonna raise the water right back up....So dont get hopes to high for shad and rocks cuz I think its gonna be a slack year, im not saying that there wont be any shad or rocks caught but I dont think its gonna be numbers of them caught like previous years.....fingers crossed though

Thanks John! I spoke to my buddy today and we have plans to get on the rockfish when they come up. I will see you then for sure....As for shad, I love 'em, but I fished the Delaware for 'em plenty, and have had my fill - for now!
