How was the lot and surrounding areas ? I make it a point to pack a trash bag and police the area cleaning up as much as I can before I leave.

Andy thanks for the PM.

From what a few of the guys coming in as I was going out said, the back area seems to be a hot spot. I only made my way up to the cove at the "halfway" point before I ran out of daylight. The fish seemed to be a bit off the banks. The baitfish were breaking the surface in 8-12ft. depths, which is where I caught the lone Smallie. Seems like a great spot to toss a spinnerbait, as I was totally surprised by the lack of weeds in the lake.

As packed as the lot was, it and trail down to the "launch" were clean of trash. It truly is refreshing site to say the least, especially considering the amount of trash that floats passed me in the Passaic River
