Herring are in
« on: May 01, 2011, 07:05 PM »
 :D  What a difference a break in the weather and having the right bait can make fishing for holdover trout in one of north Jersey's fine resevoirs.  Went out  today with herring for the first time and came back with 3 browns between 3 and 6 lbs, 3 smallies and one large perch. The weather was great with a mild wind. We had the deep water all to ourselves. Lou.

Which bait shop had the bait and how much this year? Ny price @Pepacton was 11.00 a dz.  Herring do make the  difference for sure, were you on a watershed property? How deep were you fishing? I know,lots of questions,pm me if you want.I fish alot of the  the NY waterdheds for browns/lakers.Would be cool to share info,Phish.

>>>===>Franks in Wanaque has had herring since Wed. or Thurs.

Now the puzzle begins to take shape. HMMMMMMMMM????? Way-Way is a possible, there are some big-un's in there. Monkesville is out unless your the Puzzle-Master and have figured out the mystery of skunks-ville. Aero-Flex is a prime location, but I don't know anyone who has take that quality and quantity out of there.

Must be NY watersheds, I have no knowledge of them but the bits and pieces that float to the top like the giant bass that cork-off in our NJ lakes from old age.

Again, Con-Grats, remember it well, that trip / day will be a life long memory. ;)

 8) 8)  Went over to Shepherd lk. afterwork today with some bait and the boat and managed 1 holdover brown 16 inches about 2 lbs. I was dissapointed to see about 6 commorants doing damage to the fish population. I've been seeing alot of them this year. Lou.

Fishing on Monksville today. Wind  not as strong as monday but still hard to hold anchor. marking some fish in 85 feet just off the bottom think they are (lake trout) will have to try next time out if there is no wind.... I caught one walleye on monday  21" . saw one musky caught in the am and one caught around 2:30 from the boat ramp. north side.after no luck fishing the  weed line with herring. tired of fighting the wind so we tucked into a cove and fished herring between 30 and 44 ft. my buddy caught 2 nice small mouth bass 3 lbs. and a nice 4 lb.  not to be out done i got a hit on a large herring and was rewarded with a nice 7.lb walleye  28" lomg and 14 " girth.... greenwood lake sport's just got a fresh delivery of herring today go get mmmmm..........
