Re: my first wild fish

Pretty fish! Yeah, the wild ones just count for more. I had three hatchery rainbows under my belt yesterday when I caught this one--to me, best experience of the outing... Nice! That’s a healthy looking fish. Finding the wild fish is so fun, they seem so much more aggressive and tuned in with the e...

Questions about Wild Brookie Streams (Dunnfield, Trout Brook, etc.)

Re: Central Jersey Recommendations

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations, all great advice for a new angler like myself. I'm hoping to do some more trips north in the near future hitting the Pequest and the Raritan. I hit both those spots late last summer and in the fall but had no luck. Each time it seemed like the water was to...

Central Jersey Recommendations

Hey everyone, I’m from ocean county, by LBI. I was trying to get out to do some trout fishing today, but my home river (the Toms) seems like it’s probably blown out after the rain, which makes wading there quite scary. I’m also a bit tired of it since it’s my only stream close to home and i’ve fishe...
