Spring Striper and Shad Fishing in Philadelphia
Fish within the city limits of Philadelphia to catch spring stripers and shad at the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers.
Shad and Stripers in the City of Brotherly Love
Philadelphia’s fishing roots began before William Penn laid out his grid of streets between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. The Lenape, an Algonquin-speaking people, built weirs along the rivers seeking some of the millions of anadromous fish that entered the Delaware watershed each spring to spawn. Blooms on the aptly-named shadbush heralded the start of their fishing season. While English and Swedish settlers adopted the Lenape’s style of roasting whole shad on wooden planks displayed around a fire, they employed large haul seines to catch shad by the thousands. In fact, Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood earned its name from the German-American fishing families who inhabited it in the 18th and early 19th centuries. John McPhee’s popular book, The Founding

BassFan Senior Editor Skeet Reese finished 43rd on last year s MLF Bass Pro Tour final points list. The Top 40 qualified for next week s REDCREST Championship, and Nos. 41 and 42 (Jared Lintner and Bradley Roy) got in when Greg Hackney and Justin Atkins (Nos. 36 and 37) departed the organization for the Bassmaster ranks.
The veteran from California alleviated much of the sting of his near-miss by winning the Pro Circuit season opener at Lake Okeechobee in Florida. He began the final round in 3rd place, a little less than a pound and a half behind rookie leader Jim Neece Jr., then caught a tournament-best 27-09 to eclipse runner-up and fellow BPT competitor Chris Lane by 7 1/2 pounds.
