They are definitely in the river now and well above Frenchtown.  I've caught them early March above New Hope and I know a guy that like to be the first to get one. He has caught them above New Hope late February.  I haven't been out yet but I just got laid off so I will have plenty of time

I’m in the same general area as you. I lost a lot of my gear with our house fire, just H&L is now closed. Where can I get darts and spoons locally?

Check Skips in Stockton.  
Just took a break during my ride.  They’re already fishing for Shad at Easton

Check out Tin Man. He makes the best some of the best shad darts.

 

The last shad spoons I found were at Dicks.

 

One of my favorites rigs for white and hickory shad is tandem rig with a larger dart for casting weight with a spoon or tiny shad dart trailer.
