Garden State Trout

Going to try and make it this year again for the first time in a while!

Trout magnets on a Tenkara rod work great in the winter!!!! As a bonus that technique also pisses off every other style of fisherman

They had to put the big ones somewhere with water! Nice fish.

Thanks Brian!

Weekends we spend at our place in Pocono and disconnect as well. Im glad there is still some activity here and im sorry for not contributing more myself! Where in the Pocono's is your place? My Son is in the process of buying a place near Bushkill. No need for apologies, this site is yours and you ...

Not bad ideas at all and a few more summers like this, with hot trout killing temperatures earlier and earlier, and the states hand may be forced. Like many year long, conservation minded, anglers I dont "celebrate" opening day. My fishing gear gets a work out all year long, I dont need to wait for ...

If its not app based on your phone, its lost to time at this point. I'm more guilty than any of you for not posting or ...

I still gotta catch me some of these, especially if they are good eating!

They are a brackish species?

Used to love fishing there back when I had a PA license! At one point I was able to maintain a NJ, NY and PA resident license until they all caught on

Hi everyone, 2023 marks 15 years since Garden State Trout was started back in 2008, while I was still just a kid in college drinking Appletinis (long story)… As many members know, I started GST to fill the void after NJ Trout announced that the forum would be shutting down. Back before BookFace, Ins...
