Stripers in the delaware have started

First time out today, was cold and windy. But my buddy caught 3 fish between 14-22 inches, all I got was a catfish. We were fishing at battery park in old new castle. Won't be long before the big'uns are here, just thought i'd give all the Delaware people a heads up.

Good Luck, I'll have pictures of keepers up in a couple of weeks :)

So im new to the whole delaware river fishing thing, and was wondering doesn anyone actually keep any of the stripers you catch to eat. I've heard that the fish in the delaware shouldn't be eaten because of the pollution and what not, but since the striper come from the ocean does that make them ok to eat.

Also i've been looking at aerial images of the shoreline of the delaware river right near the commodore barry bridge and i noticed a few parking lots for some businesses with good access to the river, does anyone know if ur allowed to park there and do some shore fishing?
