10/22 - RV and SB Raritan trout

[cmoran719]

Hit RV from shore at 6 am. Had a couple dink bass swallowing shiners under my slip bobbers but no trout hitting them. So crazy since last year that method produced endless trout in October. It's so true that not every year is the same. Oh well, eventually did get 1 trout on powerbait, 16" bow. Made me happy. I just love being on that shoreline in the fall, nothing beats it. Around 9 I switched over to the swimming side and hooked into my first pickerel ever. Was refreshing to catch something different, and he was a big one too. That swimming area is loaded with pickerel right now, and they're hungry.

Then went over to the south branch and hooked into 2 more nice trout, a brook and bow, both about 15". Both on black and gold PM. Great morning for me, haven't had a good day like that in a while.
