A Quick trip to Squan pays off

Have you ever caught or seen any of the Hybrids or Muskie they stock in there?

I’ve always thought that the next NJ State record LMB might come from Manasquan Res.

Back in the mid-1980’s, we conducted a fish salvage @ nearby Allaire St. Park. The middle pond’s outlet structure failed (in the series of 3 ponds @ 4121 Atlantic Ave, Farmingdale, New Jersey, United States) & was draining fast.

We boat electrofished & stocked the fish in lowermost pond.

One of the LMB’s is still the biggest one that I’ve ever seen in all my years with NJ Bur. of Freshwater Fisheries. No photo, & we didn’t have a scale. It had to be 10 + Lbs.

At the time, I told a number of anglers about it. But, never heard of a catch.

If this was Sunday, I was near you fishing and saw the whole thing lol. Single person in an old tracker...there was 4 people in a boat fishing bobbers between us lol.

Yes, I do believe that was me, I was the single guy in the green stratos, I think the boat with the 4 guys and bobbers were closer to the dam?

Hey man I saw you at wawa the other morning getting coffee, I asked if the bass boat was yours in the parking lot. Nice to see you got some good ones, I always envy the boats in that parking lot as I stop in for coffee on my way to work! Tight lines!
