SBRR Run and Gun

[Hookmanski]

Took the day off to get some very important errands done but they took less time than I thought, good thing the rods were in the car! Started in Clinton and worked my way downstream. Started with the trout magnet and Right off the bat I caught two stockies followed by a yellow perch. I wanted to get into some smallmouth, so I hopped back in the car and moved further downstream.

I basically took a tour of all the bridges in the area and got follows/hits at almost all the ones I went to. Most of these spots I had drove by in years past but never fished. Next spot I caught a rock bass and a dink smallie both on a ned rig. Continued to look around for the fish, moving from spot to spot. Fished for just over 2 and a half hours before calling it quits and getting back to other errands. It was a great day on the beautiful SBRR and I can’t wait to go back to look for some bigger smallmouth. Tight lines!

perch are rare for me in the raritan and its branches, nice find there! Did you try curly tail grubs? They work well for me when I swing them or hang em in currents and reel them slowly through current breaks/eddies

Thanks man! I didn’t try any grubs but I will next time. Most of my fish were on a swing. I kept getting savage strikes from rainbow trout too, they were everywhere, but the hook on the ned rig jighead is a little but for their mouths!
