rockaway river smallmouth

[icebadger]

went to the rockaway river with my neighbor we got there at 6:00pm fished jigs,small crankbaits and topwater with tiny torpedoes and zara puppys.we started with the god bless america and marabou jigs. we caught one smallie, two perch,a redbelly sunnie,one largemouth and a 19" slime dart. when the sun started to set we switched to topwater caught seven smallmouths the biggest one tapped out at 13" all others where 9 to 11".the river was kind of low and slow and a little off color but the smallmouth wanted to play.love fishing for those river smallmouths.all were released to fight again
