Ramapo River 10/25/14

Just a short trip today to throw some spinners on the river near the Route 17 bridge.
Caught about 5 smallmouths, a few baby largemouths, one sunfish, and plenty of perch. 0 trout today.

The smallmouths are small but fight like mad; I used 4 pound line but 2 pound line would be even more exciting.

Kinda surprised you didn't get any of those fall stockies.

Yea a shame i didnt come across any of those trout recently. I did catch 3 of them when they first stocked it this fall though. nothing big unfortunately.

Still looking for them in there; i have a feeling a lot of them were already caught and taken because i constantly see fishermen on the river every single day. some take out bags of perch with them =/

Iv'e put a few hours looking for those lil' stockies also with nothing. Those river rat smallies fill the void though. I've also been getting nice bait sized fallfish hitting small spinners.

Nice, I also caught a couple of those chubs in the river this season. I thought about using them for pike or muskie bait but let them go.

I think most of the stocking gets done down river near the reservation park area.
Was there even a fall stocking in the Po this fall?
Always a close fun river to fish but my favorite was the Pequanock river.
Any word of the Pequanock making its way back on the stocking list?
