Raritan River Vs Canal

[soniciguana]

Hi all, I'm new around here! Been a lurker for a little while, great wealth of info here!

Anyone having any luck in either the Canal or the River? Ive been fishing a few times by the Locks in SBB and haven't caught anything but a tan. I see that one guy and his girl pulled a carp out, I actually think I ran into them the same day. Maybe im in the wrong spots all the time?! I'm kinda new to fishing that area. Any help would be appreciated!
