Smallmouth Bass @ Duke Island Park?

[Rybazłapać]

Don't know much about Duke Island and haven't caught any smallmouth from the Raritan myself so take this for what it's worth but I have caught smallmouth, usually in lakes, on similar lures that catch largemouth. As far as live bait all the same tactics work as with largemouth but smallmouth seem to love crawfish if you can find them. The crawfish shaped soft plastics have also worked for me. Effingers in Bound Brook carried crawfish last year but I don't think they do right now. You might want to call about them first.
