I hear ya man. Swartswood and the Delaware are about 1.5 hours from me and Hopatcong and Greenwood are too large of lakes for my dinky little boat and trolling motor to handle. So I stuck with Monksville, even though I've heard time and again the chances of getting one there were slim to none.

Thanks for the education! The ones I was catching had the downward mouth. I see them all the time feeding on the bottom in a brook I sometimes hit up. I don't think I've ever caught a fallfish then.
