Default Re: Pompton Lake

yeah, definitely not serious. sorry about that.

@scoward - it was windy but i was in short sleeves and a pfd until the sun hit the horizon, then the pedal back from the wayne to PL bridge to was a bit chilly. i hear ya w/them jumping all around. might want to try a fly if you have any.. packing up my yak with my headlamp i was getting swarmed by smaller flies. looked like a bwo would mimick nicely if you saw a bunch of surface activity...

general report from PL - water steady on the surface @ 49.5*, didn't mark much of anything on the FF, no solid baitballs or fish, just some low hanging crappie on the south side of the lakeside dam... refused to throw anything to them down about 20-23', so i ripped out a jig, topped it w/some fluff and worked it for a while but ended up with a skunk.

Here's what was on the menu today:
• Jointed rapala
• Weightless texas rig senko
• shaky head senko
• Shaky head creature bait
• Black/Blue x-ounce jib topped w/ a tube
• black/blue jig


skunked... but not really surprised. not too many fished pulled out of that lake in all the PL reports... was certainly good to get out. lots of weeds about 6 - 7 feet from the surface. most likely left over from last years mess.
