Raritan/Passaic from last month

[thmyorke1]

Started full-time work earlier last month, less time for fishing but ive been getting it some time.

Been doing some smb fishing and got some fun sized dinks at lamington, they're all where I'd find them in the summer, which was nice.
Lost a huge one in lower raritan, jumped twice and threw my jig.

Way back in April caught a small striper. Didn't find any more untill today.

Also ran into two chunky white perch last week.

Fished the passaic with NickM. Got my 2nd ever pike and PB. Interesting how they fight, compared to what I normally catch, really short but powerful runs. Hooked in fleshy corner part of mouth, was bleeding, so immediate release, no pic.

Also picked up my PB yellow perch same day. A few more just a bit smaller.

Today caught a nice walleye and then like a 8 inch striper. Someone I saw also caught a rather large one.

Awesome catches man!! And congrats on the job dude, that’s awesome! But less fishing time is the worst part :rolleyes: Let me know when you're hitting the Passaic, I live right on it and would be down to meet up with you and fish for some toothy fish sometime.
