Forgot to mention I ran into an Eastern Spiny Soft shell over in the Finderne area this morning as well! Cool looking turtle that I haven't seen in a very long time! It was a biggun too!

That's a very rare find.
The species maps only show a small population in Cumberland County.

I know, I know! I did a google search turtle Id while I was staring at the specimen! An Eastern Spiny Soft shell it was! Pretty crazy how all animals travel!

Bronze fest and a rare turtle! Very cool, Eddie!

The Lady RARITAN be yielding more and more each day! Curious if that turtle has found itself a mating partner. Def a very cool find. Never saw one before. Had giant snapping turtles pop up next to me many times on the ribber. Luckily my waders are brown otherwise I'd be that guy with the mean streaks! Lol...

Wow those fish are much lighter in color than the Passaic smallies. Very healthy looking. Nice reward on the top waters! Eddie do the smallies ever go for polish rubbers?

Very light in color. Most fish were caught in 2 feet of somewhat fast water!

Yes! They'll crush the rubbers especially in the colder months! And at night right now!
