More Amwell Lake cats

[Dave B.]

There have been channel cats in there for over 40 years. I used to fish it often with my father when I was a teen in the early '70s. Best time was always right after a summer thunderstorm as the water was rising, especially at night. We used to take alot of 5-8 lb cats out of there but as was mentioned the lake has become severaly silted in over the decades. Best bait was always chicken guts which we used to get at the poultry house on Brunswick Ave near the intersection with Arctic Parkway by the Trenton Farmers Market.

There also used to be a good deal of decent sized LMB in there with 4-5 lbers not uncommon, but again the sedimentation and subsequent eutrophic condition have taken a heavy toll of the entire aquatic biomass.
