Fished saturday with a raritan-bud and caught 1 smb. First raritan smb of the year, and a chunky one too.
Figured there would still be some sort of a bite for SMB after work today, so tried a bit more downstream where I did well last year for early smb.
Was slow other than snagging two quilback.
Then hooked a slob fat pickerel that I decided to flip onto the logs I was standing on.
Like a Bassmaster Elite Series Angler, but a Pro Angler wouldnt land it between the gap of the two logs, nor use 6lb test to haul up a chunky pickerel
big oof moment. lost it
Casting out into the river, off of the log where I hooked the chain pickerel, would be 4 back to back hits, three of which I landed were smb.
And then no action after that.
all on wire leader + 1.8 oz jig with a 4-5 inch paddle tail in green.
