Nice job Andy, its crazy where you will find largemouth in rivers sometimes. Gatto an I hit the Manville stretch toward the ladder last night after Little Swartswood and we got a bunch of little smallies, no big ones around though. Last year must've been a good spawn for the smallmouth in the river b/c there are TONS of dink smallies running around.

The big ones are there. I think they are stuffed with suckers, creek chubs and shiners

Definately suckers! There were huge schools of suckers in the river a week or two ago upstream of 206. FastEddie and I were talking about the next state record smallie coming from the Raritan yesterday. She's in there somewhere!
