Raritan River: bass and trout
8 days ago the river temps were 70F, yesterday it bottomed at 55F!
And today it started to warm up just a bit. After a cleanup with AndyS, I hit the river in the same stretch. I was using a 1/4 oz jig with a Zman TRD in PB+J color, ned rigged. (Thanks for the zmans, Andy) Nailed three nice smallmouth in some fast + deep water in a nice run, then last fish was a surprise rainbow trout. I then fished some slower sections downstream with a mix of some runs, nothing there. Tough for me to find these smallmouth in this big river They got so many places to hide Whole river to myself on a Saturday. Nice pic of the river i snapped some trips ago. |

We knocked it out of the park at Nevius street in Raritan/Hillsborough, thanx for the help and nice fish ! Who needs fall stocking on the big river, we will just catch the left overs from the spring stocking.

Re: Raritan River: bass and trout
Surprised you found so much trash. The place looked pretty clean last time I was there.
Clean up those Bitsy Minnows and keep them in your tackle box, they are dynamite!

Re: Raritan River: bass and trout
Gonna need new hooks it seems. Unless somehow the rust isnt as bad as it looks and I can just sharpen them. Expect a follow up report of them catching fish perhaps, lol.
