Del. R. smallies on the feed too. A couple of evenings ago, south of Frenchtown, caught 7 (largest @ 18”) & a redbreast.

Foul hooked a quillback in his quill, & failed @ hooking a BIG koi. Per usual, all on # 9 floating rainbow trt. Rapala.

Water very, very low & clear. Leaves weren’t too bad.

My son had his creek chub just about bit off at the head the other night on the Raritan. Walleye? Pike? Any thoughts?

Kiko, a clean bite off usually means a toothy critter, (pike, musky or possible walleye) they all live here. But it's always a snapper that takes what you've got, and leaves you with nothing but you're heart pounding and a broken rod.

Just a warning to my fellow members who have been fishing the same area- As I was walking out with my son,I saw the cops lights go on and then park behind my vehicle..
He made a comment about me being there a few hours after the park closes and it's a $200 fine
Gave me a warning and drove away
