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.

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.


Thanks Fred, it was a fun time and a pretty darn nice day weather wise. Wind kicked up around 2 o’clock though and the river was full of debris, lots of trees some floating and others submerged. Had to putt putt for fear of losing a lower unit or worse.

Yeah Al, I’m sure it does. We gotta get down there together, it’s a pretty short window when they’re in the river.

If that's what you call an OK day, what would be a good day? Just kidding Brad, glad you and your boys had a good time together.

Fun time with the boys Doug, they’re now at the stage where they’re helping out the old man instead of the other way around. After multiple joint injuries which certainly alleviated the pain I’m not what you would call nimble. Feel like I’ve got rebar instead of joints. No longer a Gumby.

Thanks Bcmech, we did enjoy ourselves but with the number of fish we were marking thought we’d do a bit better.
