This year has been amazing for me in terms of new experiences:

-First solid year of ice fishing, nothing big but I finally learned how to jig to a great amount of success

-First year of solid trout fishing, I was finally able to make many trips down to the Ramapo and really hone down my trout fishing skills on the river

-First year trying to catch pike, after making 5-6 trips on the Passaic, I finally landed my first ever pike, and I've been able to hone my skills to the point where I've probably landed at least 50 pike this year, and set my PB at a respectable 30".

-First lake trout- Didn't include the pic (Didn't come out too well) but it was 22" and caught out of Lake George while taking a charter. Probably going to go out for them one last time this year to try for them on my own.

-First year attempting salmon fishing- Went to Pulaski for 2 separate days having no experience with salmon. By the end of the two trips, I had hooked up multiple times and was able to feel my first battle with a salmon! Unfortunately did not get to land any fish though.

Along with all my firsts, managed to have one of my best years bass fishing, with 2 bass over 5lbs (Only got pic of one) and plenty over 3.

Overall, I've explored and successfully fished around 9 new bodies of water this year, ranging from the Salmon River in Pulaski to Lake Flower in Saranac Lake to Pompton Lake and the Passaic River. I think it might be safe to say that in this year alone I've nearly doubled my fishing knowledge. I've had a blast this year and I'm hoping that it hasn't ended just yet!

**Sorry about the upside-down pics, I've tried the best I can to flip them over but everything I've tried isn't working haha

Hope this works. Lost a hybrid a lot bigger. Never got a largemouth over 3 1/2, but lots that size. The steelhead was about 4...wasn't a year for big fish like last, but like every year, a time to remember. And there's still a month-and-a-half....

NJF at it finest...I luv this crazy state!! Great looking fish and scenery pics fellaz! This state is pretty picturesque once you're away from the car fumes. Waiting for G to post coordinates from said pics so we can all enjoy it 1st hand, Lmao! J/P man, great looking ground you cover!!
So to start it off, anytime you're ice fishing is memorable! Caught some fish here, skunked out there, but always a great experience. My 1 & only spotted muskie I caught on homemade ice trap, also a decent bass.
