Default Pre-closure raritan report

Was able to land my first walleye of the year, then another shortly a few days later. As well as another nice 22 inch striper, and a decent pickerel not pictured.

Last two days skunked, looking for smb. Although ive heard they're biting around.






Not sure what the verdict is on town parks, private property, etc in regards to closures, but I hope everyone can get a lil fishing in wherever possible.

yea, so was the pickerel i had caught. there's an eagle in that area. Not sure if the walleye and other toothy critters end up fighting each other around spawn time
