Re: Raritan River Sunfish
sunfish i found buried in the mud within the tires during early march cleanups when the water was still cold. (it may have been late fall, i remember wearing waders)
I think in the shallow river setting, they go full shutdown since they cant find much spots to survive. I tried fishing in the slowest and deepest parts of the raritan in the cold but dont get much success.
Whatever they do, they clearly come back every spring/summer in mass and dont have any problem surviving winter.
I think they utilize the bottom and make it out of the winter without moving much of a muscle. Likely different from lake sunfish
