Short Afterwork PR

[Mikew36]

Hey Guys,

Hit the river after work with a few new lures suggested by some folks on here. Spinners and spoons weren't working so I switched to the husky jerk and landed this little guy. As little as he may be he is my PB at 2lbs.

Thanks for the tips guys !!

Good stuff man! Always love the short, productive fishing trips.

I was going to try the lures suggested on the NJFishing forum, but the stores were already sold out!

-Just kidding.

The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend. Hopefully I'll get a chance to spend some time on the water.

nice looking fish... what kind of scale you got? 2# seems pretty optimistic

picture angle kinda sucked, not too good with taking fish selfies. I was estimating based off the size of a friend's fish the other day that came in just over 2lbs. This one was just about the same size, of course I may be off. Will be picking up a scale real soon though, any suggestions?

I just bought a Rapala Digital 50lb (I'm optimistic!) scale from Walmart online for 18 bucks. They have several models to choose from and can ship free to a store or to your house for 5 bucks. Or if you spend over $45 dollars it ships free to your house...so I bought an Ugly Stik Striper Rod for 29.99 just to get the free shipping..HA!... Came in three days. Can't beat the price and it works great.

Sounds awesome

Thanks Critch !!

If anyone needs lures, pm me...I wiped out every tackle store within 75 miles..............LOL.....I'm just kidding with you.............I meant within 15 miles............BAM!!!!!

Glad everyone has a sense of humor on this site....With this weather all week(and supposed to be into next week as well, the fishing should be off the hook..........pay close attention to my wording.......should be...........Fall feedbags should have started by now but who am I to say..just another guy who gets lucky once in a while....I'm gonna take a 3 hour mini trip this afternoon...will let you know how I do.....it's a new local place gonna scope out...............FISH ON fellas....keep the good reports flowin'.............
