Mixed bag before work 4-15
 

Hit the rockaway in boonton township for an hour and caught 4 stockies and 4 smallies on jerkbaits. What has dropped but the fish are still biting. Climax of the day was the one nice smallie that bulldogged me all over. After the bite slowed I checked out a small lake I haven't hit this year and caught a quick largemouth on top water and lost a pig on a jig with craw that broke my heart. I'll get him next time thou. Not a bad way to spend two hours before work.

Love the bronzeback colors and the stockies hitting the stick

I past the rockaway today . looked like a neat place to fish. any wild trout in there ?

Re: Mixed bag before work 4-15
 

not in the boonton area, wild trout don't stand a chance with all the fishing pressure and the cormerants are relentless there. the river gets very low in summer months as well..
