Hit the river on my way to work last Thursday and was rewarded with ~ a dozen bass from 12"-28" in about an hour and half of fishing on flukes, dropped 2 drag burners which made go back on Friday with 15lb leader instead of 6. Walked into the river and bumped into "thmyorke1" and I took him to the honey hole and he managed to land his first striper. The bass were smaller but 1 went 27" its amazing these bass are still in the river with the water being low and temps on the rise but that's the Raritan "Feast or Famine"

I appreciate the help! I totaled 6 myself. Nothing sized like the bigger ones you posted but the bite action and new species was a blast.

Will you be back out there in the future?

Crazy just crazy! Stripers like the shade of the trees! Hahahaha! My buddy shined a spotlight off a pier in NY last week! There was 60-75 keeper Stripers circling around in 2-3 feet of water!

Nice catching Shucker! Guess I gotta go when the waters low and crystal clear. No time lately!!! Stripers sitting in a 2.5 foot hole has to be a good time!
