How many trips to Monksville for a report?

[ScowardNJ]

I've been to Skunksville 5 times this month and after last night I've finally collected enough fish porn for the typical meager Monksville report. Earlier in the month I headed up there to start messing around with bottom bouncers. I have no clue how to drag these things but after messing around with leaders, colors, speed etc.. my rig gets slammed! A nice healthy 23" in the net! I was amped! Fish is quickly CPR'd, I re-rig, get back to bouncing and get whacked again with an upper teen sized eye in the net! It was gettin dark by this time so i pointed the Mugger back to the ramp thinking I have possibly cracked the code to consistent fishing in Monks! Cant wait to get back out tomorrow night with my newly learned technique and mop em up!!!!
Get out the next evening...caught nothing..not even a hit. Exact same conditions as last night!

The next evening...1 f'ing blue gill!

A week later, My buddy gets a big white perch.

Got out yesterday afternoon, put a bouncer down only to get harassed by gills..Feeling that typical Monksville frustration I know all to well - I throw my bouncer set up in the front of the mugger, switched to a rap and landed a 17". Then to a jig and nailed a healthy 23". So 4 walleyes in 5 trips with some blue gills and white perch mixed in.. The one thing that bottom bouncing has taught me is it revealed a lot more rocky structure i hadn't known existed at various parts of the lake. That place has fish in it, but how to catch em consistently is anyone's guess.
