Winter Newsletter 2011

     As I write this, another 3-5 inches of snow is forecasted to fall over the next 18 hours in Eastern PA.  the Delaware River has floating slush ice from bank to bank last week, and although that has temporarily dissipated, eddy and shoreline ice still prevents even shore fishing in most places.  It's winter, and it's outdoor expo time.

     We will attend the following outdoor expos:

1. All Outdoor Expo--Muncy, PA (The Dome at the Lycoming Mall, near Scranton, PA) Jan. 21-23

2. Greater Philly Outdoor Expo--Oaks, PA--February 17-20 (We will conduct seminars here.)

3. Cabelas, Hamburg, PA--Captain's Weekend--March 5-6 (We will conduct a seminar here.)

4. Wild Game Dinner--Mt. Eaton Church, Saylorsburg/Mt. Eaton, PA--March 4, 6pm

5. Wild Game Dinner--St. John's UCC, Nazareth, PA--March 5, 6pm.

6. Calvary Outdoor Expo--SOuderton, PA--March 26 (we will conduct seminars here.)

     Come out and say hello, book your 2011 guided trips and buy all the goodies we will have to sell.  Our 30-Minute Preventative Maintenance DVD's for Outboard Jet motors, our new Chris Crinkle Jig Worms, The Del. River Smallmouth Bass Fishing Handbook, and more, will be available for sale and you eliminate shipping charges by purchasing at the shows!

     Our 2010 season was very successful, despite more difficult than normal fishing conditions on the Delaware River.  Low water years, and 2010 was no exception, are typically tough for numbers on the Big D.  Even when I expected higher numbers in AUgust and September, they just weren't there.  The fish ARE there, but feeding was occurring at night for certain as reports from anglers an hour prior to dark were often astounding, and rather frustrating for those of us fishing during the day!

     The river shows its continued good health.  We saw abundant grass for the first time in several years, since the 2004 flood.  This bodes well for small fry and bait fish.  Loads of baby shad made their way downstream in July- October, which signified a great mortality rate for juvenile shad from the spawn.  This is a great sign.

     On the TV show front, we are gearing up for our regional broadcast to begin on Service Electric TV2 and Blue Ridge TV 13 on Sunday Feb. 13, 2011.  Shows from the Potomac, Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers, as well as Lake Hopatcong, Lake Erie and Oneida are in he line-up, and much more!!!

     We will be premiereing on VERSUS in July 2011!  It's a very exciting time for BWA TV.  Keep us in your prayers and keep watching the video clips from the website (www.backwoodsanglertv.com)

     Thanks for all the support!  Keep it coming, and get those spring and summer trip dates in to me soon to get your dates! 

     Good Fishin!
