Superbowl Sunday Float

[Matt King]

Hey everyone, thinkin about doin a little float from deleware to shelvin this sunday before the game. Was wondering if anyones been doin some fishing, if so what were u using? Im thinkin about throwing the shad rap or a drop shot worm behind cover. Hopefully the smallies are warmin up. Anyone know what the crappie are doin? My freezer is mostly deer haha

Shelvin may still be closed due to the new ramp

Well it was certainly chuggin along and Shelvin was still closed but the water clarity was really nice. A buddy of mine has a pretty nice river access up from Shelvin so we decided to put in and paddle up to the honey hole. It def took some grunt work to go the half mile upstream but by hugging the bank and avoiding the main channel we made it. Didnt take long to start catching fish either. My friend ended up with a 13 inch smallmouth and a 12 inch largemouth with a big ol shiner in his mouth. His girlfriend caught a couple perch n a lil baby smallmouth. I ended up with a 13 inch mama smallmouth. All were caught on either a shad rap or a spoon. Overall it was a nice little jaunt on the river and left us plenty of time for tailgating before the game.
