A lot of the regulars that usually quickly limit out caught few or no fish - which is just weird.  I don't know if the fish weren't there or if they were were just scattered away from the places they usually accumulate or maybe they were there and just not feeding normally.
Another odd thing this year was I saw three ospreys. One kept hovering over the pond even though it was surrounded by people. This is an urban pond that usually don't attract that kind of wildlife. It's possible the ospreys were hammering the trout all week and that's one of the reasons they were scattered.

There have been ospreys around that stretch from Watchung Lake and to the east for a number of years. Three is an unusual number as they usually pair off by now. I don't know of any nests in that area, however. Seeley's and the Union County waters usually get stocked close to opening day. Seeley's was still off color when I drove past yesterday. That might have contributed to the low catch rate.
