Raritan river 4/20/23:

FINALLY got out !! I swear every day I have off it's either too hot, too cold, windy, raining etc ! Met up with Uncle Ken at Duke Island Park, fished the stretch below the shale flats for a while waiting for Ken to arrive, nothing. When he got there we took a walk up to the falls, I like to fish the stretch below the falls. My first hookup was a nice buttery Brown Trout ! Took a pic and released him, Ken connected with a few stocked trout by the falls. After that spot we moved down river below the old Robert St dam, again Ken connected with a few stocked trout and got got a nice SMB, and I got a really nice rainbow trout (all released)
We moved down to Orlando Park in Raritan borough where again a few SMB and stocked trout. Last stop Manville where we got a few more SMB and Ken got a stocked trout. All in all nice day out, water was gin clear.

Sounds like a great day out on the water, mate! Can't beat catching a variety of fish and spending quality time with family. We all have those off days with the weather, but it's always worth it in the end. What were you guys using for bait or lures?

Sounds good, Ken! Glad you're getting back into the swing!
