Had PTO to use and took it all off the last week of December 2021.
Didnt do anything big other than a day trip out 2 hours to PA stream. Saw some big browns here and will be back, only got action from smaller but decent fish.
Got my hands on a few dink pike and pickerel.
I then tried hitting the raritan a few short times and only got followed by a giant pike when I had a ned rig snag a big leaf.
Captains Nick, Eddie, and Chrisper got me on some fish, mostly walleye
Just yesterday with Brandon I ended the weekend with some NJ creek trout. Water was stained and warm and found trout biting pretty well on my inline spins.
Managed to get a "
trout slam" of rainbow; brown and... green trout?? Whats the largemouth doing here lol. It was the last few hundred feet of a trout stream before it emptied into a reservoir.
Also one of the browns had a really cool red adipose fine + red outline on the tail. Awesome color, was also buttery gold on the belly.
