Fished the lake on Saturday for a few hours wi 2 other guys.we picked up 1 bass... I had some massive blow ups on a frog but only came tight once and whatever it was cut clean through 25 lb power pro.

Just so you guys know a pretty large chunk of the lake is roped off. There is an active eagles nest. Also the shore to about 20-25 feet from shore is thick with grass.

Eagles nest has been there for years. Cant go past the buoys. And yes its a weedy bowl!!! But there are some rather large Largemouth in there.

Yeah, they do that every year on the right side but the fishing isn't that great over on that side and you can still fish and cast in that area.


The lake is weedy in some spot but has really nice open patches to lay it cleanly right in the weed line for the Big ones... I love fishing that lake....

PS... Shut up about the frog... your giving away my secret for killing it on that lake.....

I do believe this is the same weekend me and my wife are going to a family barbque in Swartswood State Park...I may not be able to fish, but I will make it a point to stop by at weigh in to meet a few of the guys on the site.....we were there 2 weeks ago for the first time and didn't fish that day either, but was talking to the ranger and he said nice Smallies, Larrys and Walleyes in the lake on deep rock drop offs.....the lake looked beautiful and I wish I had brought a rod w/ me that day....

Just curious what the weigh in protocol is gonna be? The ole "picture on the scale" method? or the "near by angler confirmation"? or both?

Picture/scale... also all the anglers will be with in shouting distance of each other so validating won't be an issue...

Anyone with a boat have room?

[Lard Almighty]

If anyone's got a spare seat in their boat, I'd like to participate. I'll pay for gas. I'll even split the pot with you once I win.

[flyboy1]

I would like as many NJ members as possible so please if anyone has room on their boat please let it be known so that we can get people without boats a way to participate...
