Just wanted to say thanks guys. Tried out Mount Hope Pond by the Arsenal and could not buy a bite! 3 other guys were doing the bait & wait and having the same lack of luck as me. It was scenic though, I really liked checking it out.

Stopped off at the Rockaway River on the way home and got 2 dink smallies, had a real nice one on but it jumped and threw the popper. Was very shallow except by the bridge. A great blue heron flew by and a snapping turtle was tired of swimming so it decided to beach itself within 10 yards from me.
