All isn't lost for bass fisherman at least according to what i've found out about bass stocking in NJ..In 2012 Hackesttown hatchery stocked lots of bass in 2012, didn;t have time to check out 2013 stocking numbers, but from what I understand 20 lakes and ponds in Nj were stocked with 21,920 LMB, 15,068 SMB went into 4 lakes, 46,766 Hybrids were stocked in 4 lakes..Totals 83,754, now if they stocked the same amount in 2013 means 167,508 combined total of all bass were stocked..Not too shabby....But like I stated when I started this thread, wondered if its worth stocking LL salmon in Nj waters, while I'm at it heres another question, is it worth stocking 2430 Lake Trout in Monksville reservoir yearly??? I do give the state credit for trying to make NJ waters more interesting to fish..I'm sure most anglers would agree, Variety of fish available makes it interesting and challenging to anglers....I too have my doubts Salmon and lake Trout stocking needs more research by the Fish & Game. As to where these fish should be planted...Just my 2 cents worth..
