Pompton River 9/16

[tjc76]

Got out this afternoon for about an hour and a half. Had one Largemouth 17 inches, a 14 inch smallie, and a 19 inch pike. Not the monsters I was hoping for, but at least the rod was bent. The pike and smallie took a heddon magnum torpedo, and the lmb a spinnerbait.

Nice fish TJC. lots off bass in that river.

I fished the PomptonR on sunday

I took a Kayak trip down the river starting behing 23 by fudruckers, then ending at the boat ramp by the grasshopper2.

I was gona do a report but ill just expand upon yours.

Got 4 LM and 1 smallie .all on spinner. No pike water was very clear so fish spooked easily.

I almost got hit in the face by a Dancing Carp on the surface!! i saw more that 150 carp that day

the river was beautiful on sunday- really nice lookin weeds and structure

You see some very interesting people on that river lol.

here are my pics

I did the basically the same stretch a few weekends ago, launching from Riverside Park, down passed Aqueduct Park, and finishing up at the parking lot at Two Bridges Rd. I couldn't believe how clear the water was up at the beginning, you could see every weed patch and every fish.

Awesome fish!

I've only fished the Pompton River a couple of times, but have found good-sized bass every time. I guess it's one of New Jersey's more under-rated fisheries.

One of the things I hate about urban fishing is the houses built right on the river. It's kind of creppy paddling through somebody's backyard. Some people live ON the river, with only a few pieces of concrete holding up their backyard. What kind of insurance company covers that??
