Hey Andy...We doing the Duke Park thing again? Aint never any fish there...Well except when Wilson catches a Smallie!!! But as many have said...it's just great to get out with a few buds and enjoy the day.

Aaahhh yes opening day...Andy's kawfee and donuts and giving away fishing supplies he don't want cluttering up his garage anymore, Wilson pointing out that my rod is too whippy and that I don't have enough line on my reel, standing in cold high muddy water that hasn't seen a trout in 20 years, Shucker covering 3 miles of river and changing is lure 100 times in the first 15 minutes, then back to the parking lot to share excuses and lies of the beasts of the day...yes sir good times...good times indeed!

Hope to see some of you somewhere that day boys.

Stopped the M&G on the Raritan ribber opening day because no one ever caught a trout !!! Then Wilson peels off with FE and the go to some bridge on the Passaic and catch 100 trout in 10 minutes !! Go figure !!:D

Finally got warm enough to come out of hibernation. HA! Can't wait to start getting out and about on a regular basis.

See you soon my friend!

Re: Trout Opener..... 2017! WOW!!!
 

Looking forward to it bud. It's all about to start happening.

Re: Trout Opener..... 2017! WOW!!!
 

That's a shame to hear it stopped. Think I might turn up there on Saturday and see what happens. At least it's never crowded and offers some nice smallies.

If it rains like they're predicting thurs into fri the raritan will be a mudslide. Most rivers are gonna be blown out. 22' at the ladder now. Will reach flood stage i.e. 28' if the monsoon occurs. Be safe out there guys.

Me and the boys are hitting the creek bright and early regardless. The grill will be going and I'll have the coffee on the camp stove in the percolator. I gotta get out of the house and see what's going on out there! Looks like rains coming but ya never know! It could miss us kinda like that 24 inches of snow did last month. We'll be out for sure.

Ahhhhh yes, the Raritan! Plenty of fish for the Cormorants to eat prior to opening day, lol! If worse comes to worse everyone bring there helmets. We'll meet up at the Raritan at 10 am for a brown water rafting trip down to the bay! See you fellas out there. TIGHT LINEZ!!!
