4/2 Oradell Report

it's fine, this isn't SOL

Tried Gate #1. Nothing. Only 2 cars today. Still cold and windy.

I was somewhere in the Oradel reservoir today with NO luck but it was a nice refreshing time. Thank you for the advise as to my favorite "honey spots" too!!!!

Water is probably too cold for fish to be near the shore. They are probably still in deep water where shore anglers can't reach.

Since my post struck such a sensitive nerve let me clarify...Saying Oradell Reservoir is enough, when you start getting into what gates your fishing then your really keying in on spots as most of you aren't hiking a half hour to get to spots far from the gates. Why not just post an open invite to guide everyone that wants to go for free? Look at the passaic, the number of people fishing it and reporting about it have gone through the roof. Anyone that can use a computer can figure out these locations pretty easily. We aren't talking fishing bunker pods where the bite is in one spot one morning and another by lunch. The actual fishable areas on the res (and many other areas) are pretty small, and if you guys were to actually put together a good catch one day then you can most certainly bet that people will show up in force. But as long as you don't catch, then there won't be an issue. By the way, sarcasm is awesome!

I don't think I can invite anyone since I didn't apply for Guest passes. I only apply for my family. Sorry, No free pass.

I would def agree with you to an extent. Def just post the name of the lake, not the exact location and gps coordinates, lol. Far as the Passaic goes, I was fishing it longer than I was posting about it as many others my have to. Local waters and all.... And I can def say, I've seen a good portion of the Passaic and still see pics with full background and have no clue where they are!!

I literally laughed out loud when I read this. The guys on that board are brutal!

Again, I tried my favorite spots @Oradel res and nada. Gonna see if I can get the stripers @ the bay beaches next week. The Fisherman has some good starting reports. See 'ya all later, Rammie
