fish in a barrel

[shrimpman steve]

hit the Po after stocking on thursday, it was all bows. fished for an hour and a half and landed 18.

more peeps there on thursday then on opening day! used to be a nice quiet spot, don't know how the word got out:(.

One thing that burns my ass is the amount of fish people are taking. I know they paid their fee for the stamp and are entitled to them, but how many fish do you need? I see the same guys almost every day taking fish. almost all of them non english speaking. Is it a cultural thing? what do you do with 6 trout 4-5 times a week?

Likie I said, I know they paid for the stamp so what are you gonna do:(


season total 78 (two taken for dinner one night) all others released

saw you there Steve, but i stayed up river. (too may peeps down there) got about a dozen, mostly bows and a couple of brookies. highlight was nice big brown i got. landed him while still standing in the river- no net.:D only one i kept. all fish caught on spinner. worked my way down stream and you were gone by then. good deed for the day- saw a nice rainbow on a stringer that was wrapped around a tree branch in the water. the stringer looked like it had been there a couple of days as it was all discolored. so i let the fish go and the stringer will go to my son. second time i let a fish go in the po that was already caught.

Sounds like a TROUT MASSACRE up there......... Half the guys that keep that many trout per day or 30 per week wind up leaving them in there freezer for 3 years! Lots of wasted fish all over NJ.
