    Lots of takes but no hookups?

    It's hard to tell.  There are times where turtles will pop their head out to grab the bait.  If I think that is a possibility, I'll put my finger on the line and try to see what the bite feels like.  Now that is more from my catfishing time where snapping turtles will grab and drop the bait.  They would even hold the bait and swim away, but not get hooked because of the tough mouths.  One night we ended up with 3 or 4 different snapping turtles, were several runs seemed like channel catfish takes, but were the same dang turtles.  

     

     

  8. Possible (probable) New Hook Requirement On The Hudson River.

    When Pennsylvania took feedback, I tried to get as many carp anglers as I could to write in.  As far as I can tell, all the comments were simply ignored.  So from kids using nightcrawlers for sunfish, to carp anglers with full fish care, if you get the wrong officer in the Tidal Delaware Estuary, you might have issues.

    Just be careful you don't end up with this rule:

    ● ATTENTION: Non-offset (inline) circle hooks are required when fishing with bait for any species of fish in the Tidal Delaware Estuary including tributaries from the mouths of the tributaries upstream to the limit of the tidal influence. The definition of a non-offset (inline) circle hook is a non-offset hook where the point is pointed perpendicularly back towards the shank. The term 'non-offset' means the point and the barb are in the same plane as the shank

     

     

    Horse sweet feed

    @Jaysmooth I've tried, but it really seems to crumble for me.  The best luck I had making balls was to take sweet feed and drown it in feed grade molasses and let it soak for a week or so.  Ever morning and evening I would flip the bucket over to keep the non-absorbed molasses running through the feed.  After the week I could make some very sticky balls.  They just didn't fly well and often broke apart.  Perhaps others will have a trick.

    I use sweet feed in several ways right now.  I spod it out dry, use it in my pva stick mix, or I mix it into my boiled field corn.

    When I am going to use it with the boiled field corn, I use extra water for the boil.  Then I let the pot sit over night to cool.  The next day I pour the corn into a bucked, and then bulk it out with the sweet feed.  The sweet feed kind of breaks down, but it absorbs all that starchy sugary water from the boiled corn.  I figure that light particle in the sweet feed helps carry the scent in the current.

    According to PA Fish and Boat, the Lehigh holds good number:  https://www.fishandboat.com/Locate/BestFishingWaters/Pages/CommonCarp.aspx

    It looks like there are some parks with access right in Easton.  I don't have any first hand knowledge, but hope this helps. 

    I'm not sure what trouble you're having with the railroad.  First I would say to try and talk with them.  The Delaware is a Navigable River so you may want to talk with your NJ Wildlife Officers and get clarity on the riparian rights.  Or look into the D&L trail on the Pennsylvania side to get you to the same stretch of water.
