That and all the tidal creeks in the meadowlands... I lived there [Lyndhurst], and as a kid we could get thousands and thousands any time we wanted.. Nothing there to eat them in those days!... We used to take and old bucket, tie a rope to it, let it sit 10 minutes, and pull it up real fast so they couldn't get out... Never used a proper trap...
these were huge killies too., I mean many in the 5 to 6 inch range..
If you could find that size killie today, man would you have some great flukin.
I used to catch a lot of pickerel, bass, perch and calicos on them as well. Trout in the lakes wouldn't go near them.. All they would eat were those damn herring... bob
