Raritan river Monstah Rainbow Trout !!!! 5/16/16:
1st day of my vacation and thought I would do a little fishing on the Raritan river. Fished Duke Island Park and caught one trout there. I then drove down to Robert Street and fished the area where the dam had been removed. I hooked a fish standing exactly where the old dam had been. This fish hit my lure so hard it nearly pulled the rod out of my hand, and in a wink of an eye my line snapped ! I could have snagged a large carp, but I did feel a head shake before I could loosen the drag on my reel, my guess it was a big trout. I caught another small trout before I moved down stream a bit. Along the bank is a deep run, this is where I got this huge Rainbow Trout. The fish had me running up and down the river until I was finally able to get it to net. A few photos and back she went. So for all those fishermen who say they need to fish the base of a dam in order to catch fish, guess what, no dams in sight and the fishing is great ! Love catching big trout in big water !!!
I looked and looked as I fished, couldn't find any tires in the river ! BUT Central Jersey Stream Team was cleaning up around the old Prices Junkyard with the Bonnie Brea kids. Last edited by AndyS; 05-16-2016 at 05:55 PM..

Give to the river and the river will give to you. Or is it take (tires) from the river and the river will give to you? Either way, very nice fish Andy. You deserve it!
