Raritan river MEGA float 8/31/17:
Luke and I set out at 6:30am from Robert St Raritan Borough and floated all the way to Landing Lane bridge in Piscataway taking out at 3:30pm.
I never floated the Raritan and specifically targeted smallmouth bass, this was kind of a 1st for me. We both did well with the Kietechs, and I got a few on a black marabou jig also. We didn't set the world on fire or rack up incredible numbers but we did ok, took pics of a few of the larger fish.
River was incredibly clean from top to bottom. Didn't fish Riverside Park to Landing Lane as we had thunder storms chasing us from behind so just paddled the last 3 miles. Saw a bald eagle in Raritan Borough and one in South Bound Brook.
