RBS takes 64th oz feather Jig
36 RBS , 1 P seed Wanaque River Started with a Hendrix "Rascal" on the Flyrod ;immediate hits but no takes. Tipping the "rascal" with small piece of worm got 4 Red Breasted Sunfish. Switched to spinning rod 2# test line and a 32nd Chartreuse/Brown Bucktail Jig I tied /tipped with Twister Tail ,The bait got down to the fish quicker in the shallow pools and caught 7 RBS in short order . Switched to an untipped beaded beige nymph my brother tied; threw it with the flyrod ,nothing . Switched to spinning rod and scaled down to a 64th oz feather black head jig I tied. This was killer and caught 25 RBS and one Pseed without being tipped . Very low water conditions and stained. A fine 90 minutes of wading/fishing from stream rocks .Great way to bring in October! A size 10 or 8 hook is perfect for these little beauties!

They were all over baby crawlers and meal worms and even Trout nibbles today at this spot .The Trout were small and less pugnacious .

These beauties are native to east coast streams/rivers from Maine to Florida and are very easy to find here. However, they have been transplanted in sporadic areas outside their native range and probably much harder to target the further west you go.
