Re: More Raritan river mayhem !

i cant stress how slippery that shit can be. I stay away from it in any weather where getting wet is a problem. STUDS!!!! Fresh studs! When I fished the Salmon River more the lower end of the river was similar. Lots of flat rock that the current just raced over!! If you lost your footing you were g...

Re: pot belly rainbow

Damn, you're giving NJAngler a run for his money! Nice brown...but that bow, on the other hand, looks like it's been victim of the "quarantine 15 lbs" people keep talking about :lol: he's got the knowledge and experience with wild trout im trying to aspire to. A fun thing to target and so much more...

pot belly rainbow

was fishing a new creek, doing well with multiple browns. i had caught 1 average sized rainbow in the mix which was suprising, but then hooked up with this thick rainbow. Most likely from stockings in the tributary upstream. Very neat to see a big bow holding up in this creek full of browns https://...

Re: State parks to open 5/2/20

Dumb day to begin the reopening IMO. Saturday is supposed to be very nice weather and the public will jam the parks and by Sunday the nation will be laughing at us on the national news networks. Open it today or wait until Monday and don't do it on the first nice weekend since the lock down. But wh...

Re: Pequest River April 23

darn, yea that's what ive been hearing. More people out fishing lately, and less spots to fish now with parks closed; makes it a battle of beating people to the river. You're best bet would be to fish a part of river that isnt easily accessed. Such as a stretch of river that isnt next to any roadsid...

Re: Rainy friday night

Those are some healthy looking browns, especially the first one. That's amazing to find so many large ones biting in one pool/stream. Were the water conditions high/off color? From all the great fish that you guys are posting, the last couple years of good rain has made a real difference in the NJ ...

Rainy friday night

Caught some browns in a stretch of stream ive been to before, but going upstream farther than last time warranted great results. Browns were very active and there was a hole with 4 in total, 3 back to back. All hits on a lil jig with a white grub (mister twister lil bit) Missed a big one and my frie...

There is very little if any enforcement at point mountain. Dudes are straight up picnicking in the road in chairs. In front of the closed sign. There have been numerous cars, everyday.
Expected. Imagine Enforcement having to patrol every single closed park while still doing their everyday work.

Re: Lower Wanaque Damaged Severely

I am learning from experience with Green Brook in Watchung. Unfortunately that's been really ruined by liter, intentionally or from floods picking crap up, and of course countless urbanization around it. I haven't dared fish below the park right when it hits rt 22 from the reservation. I do know al...
