: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.
>>>===>Franks in Wanaque has had herring since Wed. or Thurs.Not sure by what you meant in your second paragrapgh , starting w/Must be NY Watersheds,????
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. ;)
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..........

So,lake trout,has anyone caught one out of the place?? I know I marked fish down deep out towards the dam, I sent herring down deep and they came back up dead, gills flared, mouths wide open.It appears if as there is no Oxygen down deep. Congrats on the eye, awesome fish,was he over deepwater? Phish.
Here are some pictures in my photobucket of some of the browntrout we caught this spring in north jersey. I had to wait for my daughter to come from college to help me post the pics. I'm the fat guy in the back of the boat. The first pic is of the two I caught today, sunday afternoon, a 2+3 lbs. the other pics are from may 1.

Casting and blasting have been paying off caught a few nice walleyes in greenwood lake 6lbs was the biggest also got a 5lbs hybrid striper awesome fighting fish those hybrids fright great
One of the hardest fighting fish in f/w in my opinion...hopefully we get some decent weather this weekend and I'll finally get out after them ;D ;D and if they aren't biting I guess I'll have to settle for a limit of eyes
What can I say, Hopac has spoiled me the past few years ;D ;D
I am not sure, the hybrid striper was caught in what lake? I know there are H-birds in Hopatcong, I did not know any were in Greenwood, which your post seems to imply. Please clarify this. Thanks.
:o
Word and evidence has it that you ought to do well at Hopat for BOTH, Walleyes and Wipers. Some hot night fishing for them there now. Heard the Walleyes were non-stop action.
At night time in hopatcon r u getting the hybrids on herring or r u using artificial lure and is the bite on now thinking of making a trip up there soon
