Does anyone have any suggestion for what type of bait to use.I'm fishing from shore,on the Delaware river in philly behind the airport,any ideas,thanks in advance for any feedback.:cool:

You are talking bait not lures, right. I'm ot in your area, but find out what the local forage fish is up there - threadfin shad, maybe.
Eel would work but in some places is illegal.

Do you have a herring run up there and is it over yet? If there are herring abround, use cut herring.

Catch a few eels put them on ice in a cooler .this will slow them down then when they warm up in the water on your hook the will be very active .
