Upper South Branch Raritan 12/4/13

[PGAProfishional]

Lads,

I've been away for quite a while. Had to do a short stretch of time for a little B&E (Breaking and Entering for the layman). Kidding...I've just been working so much and uselessly trying to perfect my golf game, fishing has taken a back seat.

Anyway the Golf season is over and I'm back on the water with a vengeance. Today was just the beginning! LOL!

This was my second time fishing the S/B. I decided to fish the upper after reading all the EPIC reports in this wonderful forum!

Honestly you guys made me so confident, I felt like I could "Part the Seas"!

Special Thanks to: AndyS, Jigman13, Lard Almighty, FastEddie29, Crustyangler17 as well as the many other for their informative reports

It's only December 5th, better late than never! Welcome back!

[Jigman13]

I appreciate the mention, too. I like sharing the knowledge and the results of my trips--whether good or not. What'd you get the browns on?

Planning on heading back out to the river this weekend...after I chop down a christmas tree lol.

[Lard Almighty]

Not too shabby for December. Beautiful browns!

They look like identical twins to me???? Or did you catch only one and take a couple pics?

My apologies if I mislead you. You're correct, I snapped 2 pics of the same fish. My thumb, I felt, was covering the little guy. I also wanted to try and showcase it's fins, but didn't want to keep it out of the water for a long period of time.

I believe that Brown was born in the wild. It's fins were in great shape. I could be wrong.

I caught that Brown on a small Yo-zuri minnow (Black/Silver)

Cheers!

You are correct!! That is unstocked water
