Raritan river 2/23:

[AndyS]

Didn't make another offshore sea bass trip nor did I make the F&G meeting at Batsto.What I did get was my fat azz off the couch and down to the river for a bit. Fished the big run below Queens bridge in Bound Brook. Didn't get anything but I know there is a big walleye hiding in there some where.
Felt I had to go over there since I have been sitting at my desk writing letters to F&G about how great the river is.

Funny, 67,000 Northern Pike stocked in NJ, 0 in the Raritan.
41,000 Muskie stocked, 0 in the Raritan. 150,000 Walleye stocked in the Big D, 0 in the Raritan. 15,000 surplus trout stocked in the Muddysquan, 0 in the lower Raritan. A river so healthy it actually boasts it's own American Shad run. I guess I'll keep writing my letters.

Saw a Robin in the yard today, it won't be long now

(PS. Saw on another site some guy crushing Slime Darts in the D&R canal on lipless cranks)
