Raritan River Robust Rainbows
Stopped at Manville at around 1pm today after the shad fishing with Rutgers.
Previously in the week I tried fishing way below nevius street bridge to sommervile with only two lmb. Where are the smallies D: ?? Thankfully today that was fullfied. Snatched a fun sized one. Then a bitsy one. Took the knock-off gopro out for a test run and got this footage (nothing exciting): https://media.giphy.com/media/lffXHd...8xT3/giphy.gif Fished more, worked downstream, battery ran out, then I finally hit some more fish. My jig gets CRUSHED! like I never had before. Was just letting it swing through the current and something DRAGS the jig down. Feisty rainbow- And not a spring stockie! I was used to catching trout this size in 40 degree water... Dad always told me they fought harder when its warmer. I understand what he means now. This whole experience was overshadowed by the next rainbow which was even bigger and meaner on my jig. Everything caught on 1/8th oz black jigs. First: Second trout: |

Re: Raritan River Robust Rainbows
Shad fishing with Rutgers was slowwwww. The bottom is paved with lures at the ladder if you want to load up !
Nice Rainbows far, far, far from ANY stocking point on the Raritan river.

Nice Rainbows! Sounds like real good action, thanks for the report.
I was upstream from you and got a decent one and a few cookie cutter stockies. Dave |

Looks like another batch of holdovers to me. Where did all the 9-10 inch stockies go? Haha! Good catchin’! Way to find some good sized fish bud!!!
