If you do end up trying out MCL come in from the north side (S. Post Rd) to avoid some of the crowd.

Good Luck, Tight Lines.
Fishbrain.. anyone find this app useful - the locations seem so ridiculously off, is it just me?

it's just a rumor since i dont use it or other fishing apps, but it's likely guys are posting quality fish in different spots than they're actually catching to keep their hot spots/waters from being popular.

I fish Prospertown quite a bit. Same with the three lakes in Assunpink WMA. Rapala's Original Floating Minnows work great - esp late Mar and into April when the spawn begins. Work them slow....twitch once or twice and then let them sit for few seconds, then repeat. Bass and pickerel love them..and a few crappie will rise up for the offering too. throw a suspending minnow for the crappie, too.

good luck!
