you don't want to make ice, you want to leave crap ice everywhere blocking boat access... NJsquatch and I will just have to pull your lake trout from the depths brawhahaha, you can't stop us from catching fish!!

Good to see a nice sized Laker come out of Boonton Reservoir! Good looking deep water predator dude! How long is the fish pictured? :D

Oh I drove home in that fog last night, it was pretty epic! Then I had to drive in it again this morning! Interesting weather were having lately........

ugh stop blowing my spots bro...you think it's easy jumping that fence with the tin can! the fog cover def helped though.

would you believe i didn't measure it haha. it took the jig deep and was bleeding. seemed fine in the net but just snapped a few quick pics and released it quick. swam down fine but i realized i didn't measure it...we pulled the tape and estimated it close to 30". tried to scale it with the picture using my fingers but the results ranged from 26-34" haha I'm just going to call it 28" and hopefully crush it with a monster over 31" soon!!

Nice catch! Just curious what part of the state you're in? I picked up a used boat and would like to take it for a spin.

There are hundreds of places where you can test run your boat in nj. His fishing location is irrelevant to what you are looking to accomplish according to your post.

Well considering there is ice on the lake right down the street it'd be nice to know a location where there is no ice.

Majority of the big lakes in jersey are ice free at this point, Spruce run, round Valley, lake Hopatcong, to name a few you could launch. Bigger problem is how low the water is in some of the lakes meaning launching off make shift launches

nice lakers chris, however i doubt they came from the jersey city res or the boonton res:rolleyes:although it would be very funny watching you getting the tin can over that fence:D

[bunker dunker]

don't need the boat,we jig them off the bridge!!!!!! congrats chris!!!

Thanks again for the invite man. First time targeting them. I definitely need to rethink using 4# floro.

That fog was sick!!! I bet our visibility was ~10 yds and was playing tricks with my eyes. Glad to have the GPS otherwise we would still be looking for the ramp.

beautiful fish

i looked up from the ff at one point and thought i saw another boat going about 15 mph past up with his trolling motor...Confirmed by you that there was a boat but i was def bugging out the way it looked like it was ripping across the water haha

I was out with Trevordog and same story, fog so thick you needed GPS to even have a chance at finding the launch. First drop on a few marks in 90 fow and I was hooked up with a small skipper within minutes, and a few later Trevordog managed an average one

Kept moving, almost ran in to chrisper as we couldn't see him till about 25 yards. Tried few more spots before we found consistent marks. Wind picked up to a gentle breeze and Could tell how the fish were reacting on the fish finder it was only time before we would have our chance and sure enough I dumped a good fish half way up, then within minutes Trevor boated another average laker followed by me dumping another better fish half way up. Then wind died once again and fish went quiet once again. I teased one more into two soft bumps but couldn't come tight. We no activity we called it quits around 12 for afternoon commitments. Thought for sure we were gonna be on the fish with the first two slamming our jigs on the first drop but wasn't meant to be.

Nice Lakers!!! I'm loving this open water myself, I get out at least 1 day on the weekend to fish, and Jan. is almost over!!!!
