MORE pike...LESS trout. Makos in the Rockaway, tilefish in Round Valley. The possibilities are endless..............

On a serious note, I think stocking stripers in 1 of the big lakes would not be a bad idea. It would have to be the worst one with no big predators because once they were introduced they would eat everything. Union Lake in South Jersey would would probaly be the best bet. It has fair fishing at best, is has a fish ladder so the fish could go into the river to spawn, and it 898 acres. There is actually a very small population of stripers in the lake that have come up the fish ladder. Biggest one ever caugth out of there was 28 lbs. That proves they would have enough food. Only problem is that it's max depth is only 25 ft.. Also, there is a chance that any bass that went over the dam to spawn would not return. However, it seems like a good idea.
I will probaly be able to make this meeting too.
