Post 8/15 Raritan River Striped Bass

Went out to the Raritan tonight around 7pm. I was fishing a silver 5 inch Rapala husky jerk in the white water just below the Island Farm Weir from the wall. After about an hour of casting I hooked up with my first Raritan River striped bass about 10 feet off the base of the falls. Not much size to the fish. It was only about 14 to 16 inches but it was something I have always wanted to catch in that river. I got the first one out of the way now and hopefully next spring there will be some big ones

Good stuff! I stopped there Wednesday and picked up a 21 inch Striper around noon. There's some big fish in there now. You just gotta figure out what they want!!!
