NB O' the Raritan Smallies

[kcritch]

Got out on some fresh water last night for the first time in weeks. Nothing crazy but couldn't take not fishing any more so just grabbed a rod and went out. Hit the NB right around the corner from my house...waded up about a quarter mile to a spot and just worked it a bit as I only had about an hour before dark. Ended up with 4 SM...one little guy and 3 in the 1 to 1.5 lb range with about 4 more hook ups that I could not catch up with to get a good hook set. They freak out when they bite and head right at ya at about a hundred miles an hour...hate that. All bites in the last 45 minutes before sunset with all fish caught on a T Rigged 4 1/4 inch Green Pumpkin Stiko weightless. Just let it drift with the current with a slight twitch every so often. Not bad for an hour. Then I had to leave 'em bitin. Wading back down river in the dark aint my thing...thankful for the low water in that respect.
