You are lucky to have all those rivers within reach. We have the mullica and maurice by us but they are muddy a lot of the time and the dominant fish is the white perch and small stripers. Those are some very nice fish thanks for sharing.

well,those rivers are all nearly an hour away from me but, I will travel to any of them.
Hmmm,white perch?,,,well the bass is it''s first cousin you know and I am willing to bet that at times there are some good ones in those rivers you mention.
winter time I bet you can find them in the quiet areas of them too.
there are many other smaller rivers that are not mentioned here that have fish in them wintering over,one just has to go hunting.



look at this:

if you do some recon,you will find many guys that fish those rivers,I'll put money on it.
maybe you are lucky to have those rivers.
if there are white perch in there,then there are stripers in there.

thanks Vpass,it started out good then died out .
nothing doing until some gators showed up then it was good but, not a single bass from early june until October this season.
then the gators vacated and the bass showed up but,not in strong numbers.
it was not as good as normal,was a sad spring.
