Default Raritan River bass

Im mostly fishing other places with Nick, but was able to check out the raritan river a few short sessions.

Also good stuff on the tributaries, brought my dad out fathers day to one trib targetting smb and he got 5 rainbows from just one spot on the stream. Accidentally it was probably the best father's day gift I could give him . He went out yesterday in the same stretch and then saw a hyyyyuuuge rainbow trout up close in a riffle. He made out with a bunch of smb too, no giants yet for him (nor me) Hoping those trout hold over but with two more months of hot weather idk!

Also a surprise bitsy striper caught well above the dam. I think my first above it.

Awesome catching brother of the river. Some really nice fish. I ran into a bunch of those little Stripers 2 years ago in August. They were in the slower current at Robert St. Some of them were 12-16 inches which was awesome. They are there! No doubt in my mind!

funny cause i recall catching a white perch up there, same spot, i think two years ago too, that one marked the first above the fish ladder too. The raritan is wild in terms of species!
