Raritan river 7/9:
Finally got my fat azz of the couch and hit the river for a little magic hours fishing near the 2nd 287 crossing. Got alot of small stripers, they seemed to be spread out in the fast water and slow. Got a bluegill and a yellow perch also. No dams or waterfalls where I was fishing, just a big run from fast to slow water.
Coolest thing was when I got down there and started walking the bank in about a foot of water I saw a huge blue claw crab !!! Easy 6" pt. to pt.
I was a few miles from the tidal section in New Brunswick. I know Wilson has seen them as far up as Bound Brook while fishing for white perch.
The crab was big and healthy. Tons of baitfish along the banks also.
