I probably saw you guys. And yeah, besides it being a beautiful day out most of the day, that wind was horrendous. The chop it made in the river between the 2 lakes was nuts! I actually had 3 or 4 waves throw some water into the yak...not cool.

Did you guys fish both lakes or just Pompton?

it was my first time there but i THINK it was just the pompton since we didnt go thru any river, we sat at the mouth of the PO for a bit but the wind was pushing us north into the shore so that didnt last long

Just Pompton Skunk. Check yer PM. The water temp was 62 degrees and it was dirty up north. I think this lake is turning over and with the cold front that came through and the high bluebird skies, conditions were tough. Did not read any fish deep but they were STACKED anywhere there was 6 and a half to 8-feet of water but wouldn't eat. Every time we reached that depth there was a wall of fish on the sonar but we didn't get a hit. The flats near the ramp where we ended the day had warmer, cleaner water and produced the only fish. Saw lots of surface action too, but nothing biting. Thanks again for the help man, was a good day nonetheless. Was happy to get out in that forecast and break-in the boat with John.

Nice bass. Had a good topwater bite yesterday morning but that was before the wind blew hard. Defintely gonna give Pompton a shot next spring, I need to find some more lakes up north.
