Default Re: Ignorance of rules & laws...

I would pay to fish on WANAQUE for sure. Since MONKSVILLE is right on top of WANAQUE I do not see any issue with the impact of fishing on it. It may just be a security liability issue as to why it has never been opened up to the public.

Remember MONKSVILE allows gas motors up to 10HP IN THEORY. Anyone who fishes there, especially at night will tell you that fools are launching all kinds of boats with motors too large for the limit & no electric motors. It can be the wild west on the water there...

I fished WANAQUE a few times with my dad who was a police officer & he had friends who worked there who would hook us up. Went out with guide on a small boat & just crushed it every time we went. Not sure if they still offer that service anymore but it sure was awesome as a kid. It was an unbelievable fishery then but may not be quite as diverse now that STRIPERS are there & established.
