Can you tell me where is the best place to launch from and what is the parking situation like? Also, any recommendations on a particular area I should target for LMB? Not looking for a specific spot burn, just a general area of the lake I should focus on. Thanks!

The public boat ramp on Lakeside Ave. is a good spot, as is the parking lot by the Doty Road bridge. I launch my kayak from both depending on where I want to start fishing that day. For the Lakeside Ave. ramp, you'll have to park on one of the side streets after launching. By Doty Road is a dirt lot that you'll most likely have all to yourself. It also puts you closer to Potash Lake, so you can hit that as well. Check it out on Google Maps and you'll see what I mean. Both launches put you in prime areas, but I've caught fish almost everywhere on that lake, so no real spot is bad in my opinion. Lots of "fishy looking" spots there, so if it looks good to you, give it a shot. Lots of 16"-19" LMB's on plastics, lots of Crappie on small jigs, and been sawed off by a few Pike there too. Pickerel too if that's your thing. Good luck and post back with results. Throw me a PM if you have any more questions.
PS: Do a search of "Pompton Lake" on here or just search all threads posted by me and go back to last spring/summer. I posted LOTS of reports from Pompton. Should help you...
