Raritan last week

[thmyorke1]

Got out a few times last week and landed my first stripers of the year. First was my PB at 26 inches, other two would just be a bit shorter but both longer than my average striper catches.

Also a few smallies mixed in, but yet a walleye still looking to check that off this year's list.

It's good news trout fishing will open soon, not just because I can finally fish above Rt 206 but looks like the state is approving of fishing as a means of staying safe.

all caught on jigs with paddle tail swimbaits. Thanks to NickM for net/pic assistance.
