Raritan River Report

[tycomps]

Launched the rat at the N/S branch confluence again. Headed up the NB first to my honey hole and got 8 cookie cutter bows in an hour on a two tone spinner. Back to the confluence and up the SB to another honey hole for 2 feisty little smallmouths on a keitech. On the way back to the C stopped at a laydown where a school of carp were blowing up on a pod of baitfish. Anchored up and watched them swim around the boat like a school of bluefish, never seen carp that active. Saw three banded watersnakes swimming across the river, first ones this year. Got too hot by noon so I bailed (saw a trout belly up on the way back to the launch). Pictures aren't worth it, nothing exceptional today.
