Where to fish tomorrow?

Lol jeez thanks for all the kind words guys yeah I never really catch more than a few at a time so my lack of expectations kept me off suicide watch. Well because I didnt want to go on a search of a place to launch in the raritan river and because I didnt know how my boat would hold up in it, I decided to hit davidsons mill pond. After fishing the pads with a frog with no luck, I decided to break out the ultra light and throw a hula popper under cover along the shore. Well good news fellas, the skunk streak didnt reach double digits!! Landed a small pickerel first, followed by a solid bluegill that was bigger than the pickerel. Overall they were lackluster so I wont post pics because I doubt ya care, but I wanted to thank everyone for their input and I am still taking recommendations for next week because I need a fix for bigger fish. If i can get more info on the raritan thatd be great. Thanks again!!

Haha ya thanks andre.. finally got off the schnide. Just barely though since both fish didnt equal a pound. Hopefully I can get lucky sometime soon and land something with a little weight. I just need to get some knowledge and where what and how to fish better

Don't bother with Merrill Creek and a short boat, they won't let you launch.

I'd ditch the boat, grab a dozen crawlers and a dozen shiners and hit any local pond. Size 8 hook tied directly to the line for the worms and size 2 or 4 for the shiners. No weights, swivels or anything else. You should be able to pull out a variety of fish.

Yeah im sure id get more fish that way and avoid the skunks ive been getting but I just enjoy "the hunt" of find a spot and tossing a lure and making it work in a way that it fools the fish into biting. Im not the sit back and relax type of fisherman. Also since I have trouble finding spots and I have a boat, I dont know what I would do if I had to find shore access spots lol

Have you ever fished lefferts? I remember years ago doing pretty well as a kid from shore with shiners. Im actually thinking about taking my yak there tomorrow. Or farrington lol

[RyanMac14]

I have fished there before under the bridge on 34 and from the beach access with no luck. Maybe I will take my boat out there this week and try it out since ive never heard any reports from there

[RyanMac14]

Will be heading out tomorrow morning so wish me luck
In not starting another skunk streak. Not sure where im going yet. You guys get out at all this week?
