Hey, fillets from a single 22" fluke make a good meal (especially when stuffed with lump crabmeat!) Glad to here the minnow/squid sandwhich works below the Mason-Dixon line.

Greetings catchinabuzz!

Roxborough - Manayunk (the NW corner of the city.) I've got the Schuylkill River four blocks down the street and the Wissahickon Creek five blocks up the street. Very familiar with Kensington -- I worked with a few guys who hung out at K&A (Kensington & Allegheney.) Everybody in Philadelphia belonged to a "corner" in the 60's and 70's (ours was Krams & Pechin, and later, Ridge & Krams.) K&A is mostly drugs and prostitution these days. Kensington was a heavily Irish neighborhood, but a lot of the residents have fled to the Far Northeast. Most recently Kensington is famous for the murder of a 16 yr old boy for his paycheck by three of his teenage friends (one a girl.)

Got room fer 1 more on the boat?Gimme a hollar.

The fish are usually on that 1 corner, towards the old bridge,on the other side.The fish have been crashing the top.I fish lite tackle,so reaching them is difficult unless I change to a 1 oz jig.Pretty frustrating when the fish are just that close to the other ledge,and you can't fish them

But on SAT and Sun,I saw a lot of keeper flounder caught on that wall,as the small boats drifted from the start of the 1st bridge all the way to the 2nd bridge.

[catchinabuzz]

i am running the boat out to first island tomarrow right now there is three in the boat but i will definitly keep you in mind during next week i will be working midnights so i am going to try to get it out during the week.
