Summary:  SASSAFRAS RIVER once again showed the endless possibilities when one adventures outside of New Jersey.
Anglers caught numerous Bass meeting the 15" guidelines.  The big girls were out and so were the cookie cutter size bass. 
In All, 11 out of 17 SJHT Anglers caught at least 1 Bass.   There were a total of 27 Bass caught overall.    These Bass gave way to a WHOPPING total of 81.38lbs caught overall.   The avg. weight came out to be 3.01lbs.  6 Anglers caught at least there 3 Bass Limit.

Way to come out SJHT anglers while practicing social distancing and have some fun on the water.   
Brian and Rob congrats and nice Misc.

Thanks for the report and it's good to see y'all getting out  and fishing again. That's a nice looking fish that Brian caught to start the year off with a bang.  I didn't see any fish by your name though. Hope you at least caught some.  Can't wait till your next report and be safe out there.

Hey Man....Good to hear from you and BassinLou!!!    LOL

I caught Bass but they were below the min 15" requirement.  BTW... I was up at Lake Champlain..... a little over a week ago and slayed them.  I'll post a couple of pics or links to those Gigantic Smallmouth Bass.

Note:  I have to get the rust off after nearly a 3 month delay in starting our 2020 season.  My report is so-so as I had to remember certain procedures I typically rattle off my head.  LOL!!!  Plus I was too excited for Brian and his nearly 8lber.

Good day BassinLou.... Yeah FINALLY RIGHT!  My guys caught some very decent bags today.  Imagine if we were a 5 Bass Limit Club?  Brian would have probably ended with well over 20lbs.... He even broke 2 other large ones off as he was bringing to the boat.  Go Figure.

The land of the Giants!!!!  With the new norm and still Social Distancing here in New Jersey, we're still up in the air on some of our in state tournaments.  The Governor and Fish and Game have not provided any Tournament guidelines even though we have implemented our own for safety reasons.  Our NJ Bass closed season ends on June 15th and that will be the tell tale sign for the rest of our season as restrictions begin to lift.

Other than that.....business as usual on my front.  Sure felt good to get out and fishing amongst my fellow anglers.

Best of luck this year and keep catching them.

Tightlines.
