Avoiding the First Cast Curse - Raritan River Smallmouths

[@ledraps22]

glad to see you back there, i actually went there friday night looking for that glorified 'pickerel' lol but skunked, you had the right idea fishing that side with the big cement/stones, it's surprisingly deep along that.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

It is a nice looking run. If I had more time I would have fished further up.

[@RealisticFishing]

The curse is real

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

So are my curse-breaking fishing skills!

[@alexasanchez5414]

Nice smallies!! I feel you with the leaves man, they stick to treble hooks like no tomorrow 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

They are a necessary evil of autumn fishing.

[@Exploremorefishing]

Ahh the fall leaves , enough to make a fisherman crazy 😩

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Yeah, they can make you go full tilt real quick.

Yes another Lard video!

After that first cast fish our odds drop faster than they do at the Casino. Why do they have to do this to us???

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Because fish hate us and want us to suffer. So we stick 'em with hooks to get even!
