Matt and I hit the Delaware for a short while 2 days last weekend. It was not real productive but it was a really nice day on the water. First time we launched in Jersey and headed up to where we saw the bear last time. Thankfully the bear was not in the fishing hole this time. Unfortunately neither were the fish. The water temps were much cooler, down in the 40's now. On our way back to the launch I did manage to pick up a perch amongst some down timber. It was the biggest perch that I have ever got so far. I was very excited.

A little while after that one I picked up my one and only smallie for the day where this stream feeds into the river.

Matt also picked up one a little further downstream but I cannot find the picture for it.

The end of the day as we were loading up the boat at the launch I snapped this picture. It was just at the point when magic hour was starting. My favorite time of the day.

The next day we headed out and launched at bushkill. I had no luck at all on this day but Matt did manage to grab a few fish that day. His first was a smallie.

After we switched sides at the river he managed 2 more fish. One smallie and a walleye. After that I had enough.. It was real cold and windy and I was very happy when he decided to head back to the launch.

I am gonna add a few pics that I have taken on my travels lately. Fall is definitely a great time to be out and about.

Big ole tree in the yard.

Little Praying Mantis that I managed to see and not mow over the poor guy. These are the coolest bugs.

Some very red berries on the bushes at the house.

Last but not least... I love the colors on these trees.

Until next time and maybe I will have a few more fish pics too. With any luck that is.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome pics and great perch.

Nice pics Mrs M

Great post, great pictures  

I don't know if I'd have the stones to hold a praying mantis - those things freak me out.

nice fish and pics. Me and my roommates just found a praying mantis near our apartment and we caught him and got a cheap little aquarium to keep him in. We have been feeding him bugs and even little newts. It's amazing how strong those bugs are. He completely decimated the newt and ate his head clean off.

Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures. That is an awesome colored perch. Sounds like a great trip to me!  

Nice pics and a great day!

I don't know about catching them, but they are illegal to kill in NC, so be careful!

Great pics Mrs. M!
