I sent my shad fish catch reports in to the PFBC. Daryl Pierce informed me that only 2 other people sent in their reports. I urge everyone to send in your information asap, as Daryl welcomes the information, and it must be used as scientific data. You can copy and print out the form off of our home page, it is also on the Bi State Shad Fishing Contest Facebook page. You can phone, text, mail, or email your info to the PFBC, at the contact info below. You can also give me the info, and i will send it in. Eric 610 762 0440
I have been informed by Daryl Pierce from the PFBC that the official form must be used when sending in catch reports. here is his message.
Okay, thank you. But I’ll need this written out using the diary form with associated trip hours, locations fished and electronically sent to me. Otherwise I cannot calculate angler use and harvest estimates, which are based on individual angler trip catch rates (i.e., number of fish caught per trip divided by the total hours fished per trip). Is he fishing in the lower, middle, upper Del R?

Here is the contact information for Daryl Pierce, from the PFBC. He would like shad catch information sent to him until the new Shad Biologist is hired. You can also direct any questions or concerns that you may have to him. If you do not fill out the fish catch forms, at least text or email your shad reports to him.
