Pluggin' Raritan River weekend!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Hit the river yesterday in between coats of paint drying. River was stained and coming up from the freak t-storms Friday night. threw the plugs and nobody was home to go after the big stuff. I looked down at one point and swore I saw a school of Shad circling 10 feet off the wall. Changed gears and started throwing, ummmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,, Trout magnets. Yea thats it, Trout magnets, LOL! Sure enough, 5 casts later I was into the Shad pretty good landing 4 out of 7 before the water became to dirty. Some big ass Shad in there this year fellaz. Still nice and fresh too!!!

Back at this morning hoping the water was still at a high level so I could throw my plugs. Nope! Water level dropped quick but it didn't matter as a plethora of species were caught today by a buddy of mine. Shad, White Perch, Crappie and a 19 inch Smallie all came to the wall today. All nice healthy species I might add! As for what I caught, well I was in charge of finding the migratory Stripers that swim in the freshwater! I found 2, 1 short and 1 29-30 inch drag ripping keeper that put up a hell of a battle on the new river set up! Crazy fish went for the smaller plug today. Good times on that river lately. Fish are on the move and feeding heavy. TIGHT LINEZ!!!
