Getting a bit bored with just straight up bass fishing, I decided to hit up the North River in Bridgewater with my 5' UL in hand. I had roughly an hour to fish and I figured just some fun panfishing was a great way to spend it. I made my way down 42, stopping at …

A new spot on the river
I have fished the North River plenty of times, though primarily in two different places and one additional. Now, the two primary places have largemouth at them.
