Raritan River: bass and trout

[thmyorke1]

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.
