Skunksville!

I've been there a few times and it lived up to its nickname.

Tons of kayakers there if you like that sort of thing.

BS, One of the best RESERVOIRS in NJ. if you can fish this place and catch something, you got SKILLZ!!! One of the quietist places in NJ to fish.............

Probably fished there 50 times in the passed 3 years. Gorgeous place and fun to fish. While there are monster Muskie and Walleye there, they're tough to fish for and I still haven't figured them out. Largemouth and Smallmouth are more prevalent and a little easier to catch. Hit the coves with rapalas or senkos...expect some pickerel too.

How big are the rapalas that you're using? 3 1/2 inches? 4 inches?

When Monksville gives up its fish....they are BIG no matter what species....keep plugging away and don't be discouraged....Capt. Dave

For the Smallies I believe they are the J-9 or J-11 size, which is about 3 1/2-4 inches long.
