I caught both fish on a 2" swimbait. Needless to say I'm bringing some of those for Opening Day tomorrow.

When you say the falls, what do you mean? Like that dam that is next to the rocks at Duke Island Park?

There are smallies everywhere in the Raritan. Throw a 3 or 4 in twister tail on a 1/8oz jighead with some light line and hold on.
