Apple Picking & A Couple Fat Bows

[NorthJerzyG]

Had off yesterday and the wifey wanted to go apple picking so we decided to take a ride out to scenic Chester Nj. Spent a few hours walking the farm, shopping, and taking in the scenery. When we left, I mentioned we happened to be close to a nice state park with a stream and could take a walk......

Surprisingly enough, she was game! Took a bit of a hike to get to the water but once there it was game on! Planned on keeping my first fish and it ended up being a nice fat bow!! CPRd a few more and even had my wife ask to try a few casts!!

Spent a few minutes giving her some casting tips and she did well but no bites. Eventually I was able to hook one and let her fight it. Sure enough, she landed it!

The river was definitely low and had some leaves. I could even see fish swimming upstream at some spots. The fish I took was full of eggs so I'm not sure if it was spawning behavior or just them looking for some deeper water???

All in all a beautiful day out in the country with some great fall scenery and even had my wife fishing, lol! Can't beat that!!
