Headed down with the boys(Gregg and Ben) to the Raritan River) to chase the stripers. Launched out out Sayersville with intentions of hitting the bay if we didn’t mark any fish. Fish were abundant in the river so no reason to head out to sea. Water temp was 50* and most of the fish were hanging near the bottom. Threw 6” paddle tail Shad’s in bunker pattern and landed 5. Many bass were simply pecking the tails and wouldn’t commit, same comments from a bunch of others we spoke to. A few more degrees and it should heat up. Felt bad for captain Ben, he hooked up with a couple but lost them.

It was a fine day four, spending time with the kids and being mindless. The bass were just short nipping the paddle tails and were not all that committed to nailing the baits which made it a hair frustrating but all in all a great day.

Thanks DV, we marked a ton of fish but there was few willing participants. Same song with others we spoke with. A few more degrees and they should fire up.

Bk, that was some awesome fishing and congratulations on catching something other than your snot rockets. I've only caught the one with 4 times out on the water. Warmer weather is coming but it looks like we might have more snow before it does.

Thanks Gordon, the really big girls are yet to arrive. Only problem is that son Ben has to travel a bit for work, my craft isn’t all that all that seaworthy so may be a while before we get down there again.

The boys and I had a fine time Billy, with all the fish we marked I’d thought the catching would be a bit better. We’ve had days with 50 plus stripers quite a few times but they just weren’t chewing all that well today.

Nice catching Brad. That's a good roundup for the first trip of the year. Give the water a little time to warm up and it will improve. Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
