Garden State Trout

Nice! Most of these I had already pinpointed on my map :D mine is a complete mess though, a giant blob of pinpoints. Id wish the site already had this. The spots they list are generally the most obvious spots to begin with, but a few of them actually arent fished often and less well known despite b...

Yes, thanks! ps does Putin know #119 has been made public?

New to this forum--and an enthusiast of limited experience--so I want to ask: What water temperature is considered the high cut-off point for trout fishing? I agree with 68...but, If you take the temp in the morning, and it's hot out, check every half hour or so as the temperature of the water can ...

ps, to make things easier for admin Tom Twism, can we perhaps combine this thread with the "Boiled Trout" thread?

Most anglers use the upper 60s F as a cutoff, though some say 70 F.
Here's a good article on how different trout respond to different temperatures.
Welcome to the forum.

I mean who drags a gas grill down to the river !

18 years ago last week, that was my first date with my now wife. I'd say it worked

Hahahaha just kidding broski

I'm colorblind but that's still funny as heck.

The Toms River stays cool year round. I have fished it for years and never seen the temperature above 68 degrees. Fished it about 10 days ago and temp was 64 degrees. That being said the fishing there hasn’t been the same since the State stopped stocking Brookies and browns. The rainbows don’t do w...

The Musky is 42 miles long from the Lake Hopatcong dam to the Delaware River. You can fish about 30 + of those miles without issue on either public lands or private lands that allow public access. There are so many spots just like the one you are showing here that are NEVER fished that it blows my ...

On fire today😲. Again went scouting for new spots on a river that i have fished for over 45 years🤫. Decided to walk down further then i usually do. What do i find 🤔. 1 heck of a honey hole. Im gonna be nice & share the spot with you with some hints you have to figure on your own 😉 . Managed 11 trou...

Haha - I hear you. It's not malicious by any means, it's just that people do not know any better. Agreed, but I have also seen jerks start yelling at those anglers which is not helpful. Just have a polite conversation and inform them of the consequences of their actions and most will stop fishing o...

I've been hitting some local ponds with my sons. God bless the bluegill. Tons of easy fun when the weather turns warm.

Definitely a black stonefly. You might have been thrown off some since anglers traditionally associate them with the late winter/early spring months.

My legs are pretty nicked up from bug bites since I've been wearing shorts for the last few weeks...but I love wet wading as much as the next guy, esp on a really hot day.

And I have to add that the young fella must have some decent upper body strength--he barely looks bothered holding up such a beast!

Incredible!

Hi, You do not have to have a front plate on your car now a days in Jersey. New cars do not need them.

Is that right? Recently, I've been seeing quite a few cars with only rear NJ plates, didn't know if they were just being mavericks or if a law had changed.

Exactly. Most anglers and hunters have no idea when their licenses were last checked because our COs use binoculars to watch from afar. If they approach you, it's either because you aren't displaying your license or they are watching you do something illegally. I keep mine in my hip pack. I've lost...

you have have met me, many have, i talk with few....

This guy sounds like Jesus


But I think I've met you before as well...perhaps on the Pequest.

Great info and illustration!!!, but you lost me at "eggs" Egg flies. I like a small sucker spawn/ blood dot pattern in a light color. Like I said, my method isnt truly "Euro" but I dont complain when I catch fish. While I understand their use in the great lakes tribs, away from that it's one step a...
