🥵 HOT Pompton River float

[thmyorke1]

Nick and I floated ~8 miles on the Pompton (starting in the ramapo)

it was HOT, and unfortunately the bite was not HOT at all . We encountered sunnies, dink perch, larrys and smallmouth. Mostly dinks but I managed to pull a 16 inch smb off rip rap; which we slowly floated right over and drifted a jig. that was a light bite. a nice fight.
Got a few more doing the same technique but they were small and rare to come by.

Encountered no esox although some guys we passed by reported a few in the morning hours. We got a late start so that could have impacted us.

At one of the dams I pulled two larrys on the texas rig, cast right into the base and sat it right on the bottom.

Who else went out this weekend? Anyone else find the heat killing the bite? Any success in the AM? Stay cool!
