Re: Perch fishing
As a native Staten Islander who now lives in Central NJ, there are plenty of freshwater lakes on SI--most of which i used to fish regularly growing up until I moved to NJ. All of the lakes I'm familiar with on SI hold a combination of bass, sunfish, white perch, yellow perch, pickerel, carp, crappie, etc. Bradys pond and silver lake were primary locations for me, my Dad and brothers.
Do we have more options and access here in NJ? Absolutely. Would i pay $20 to cross a bridge and jig 6" panfish? Absolutely not...
Additionally, many of the people in said bucket brigade are unlicensed. In some sort of defense to NJBands, the sea change where he's fishing is unprecedented. It used to be 5 or 6 guys fishing, spread out. Now it's 20+ people elbow to elbow. It looks like magnolia pier when the herring are in thick.
