Default Running and gunning on the Raritan

With the low clear water, I had an idea to hit up some of the deep holes on the North Branch to see if I could score some smallies. I hit up a bunch of spots between Bedminster and Natirar, managed two dink smallies, a little largemouth, and a few sunnies. I then went to a pond I found on Google Earth in Mendham, only to find it plastered with signs saying it was private. Based on the location, I probably should have known. On the way back I hit Roberts Street and Duke falls with some big baits to see if any big girls wanted to play, but no dice. As a last ditch effort, I fished a stretch in the park, and wound up with three smallies on a senko, including a pudgy one that was pushing a pound or so. A long, tiring day, but it beats sitting on the couch watching football.

Also, it's only mid-September, but there were some trees in the park in full fall colors! We're going to have a very early autumn this year.

But I won't be around at all, so don't even bother to call,
Cause on a day like today there's one place I gotta be:
