The lake in Little Ferry has those Orange Carp or Gold Fish in it. I watched a small school of them just hang out off the pier. Also saw those bubbly eyed gold fish swimming in the lake also.

Where does the Wile Sea Carp fit into this family ?

[Flukemeister1]

There used to be huge schools of very large goldfish in the Delaware. Then they introduced the Muski and also the water quality improved after 1973 and stripers started coming up this way. You don't see them very often now. If you want the chance at some true monster sized carp and also flathead catfish, try the sand bar just to the south of where the Muscenetcong dumps into the Delaware River in Riegelsville NJ. Guys use sunfish or beef liver for the flatheads and you can use whatever your favorite carp bait is for the carp. In Europe carp are considered tremendous gamefish due to their fighting ability and thier smarts. Once hooked they become exremely hook shy and are a true challenge to catch after that. Those giant koi are also very valuable to people with ponds because they keep them clean of weeds.
