i got a couple hours in this weekend fishing the rahway between the 2 bridges off Mohawk. didn't see a single trout. my neighbor and a couple of his friends had a nice stringer of 7or8, I think they were the only ones in the whole stretch lol. I caught a couple nice sunnies. anyone know when they re-stock?

Fished Nomohegan from 8am-2:30 opening day and man was it cold and wet. Slow start to the morning but around 11 finally started to see some action. Caught about a dozen crappie and 3 stockies. My buddy caught 3 as well and we both lost a few including a huge breeder! No limit not crazy action just a great rainy day with friends.

Friday evening I walked a local stream to see how the stocking was. Was dismayed to see powerbait smeared on rocks. Walked upstream saw a "kid" fishing. Told him opening day was tomorrow. Kept walking. Saw the "kid" continue to fish so I tried calling operation game thief a few times, but the number was always busy.

Opening day was cold and slow. One guy at the hole I was at was doing well, everybody else not-so-much. Fish finally started biting for me a little after 10 and I was able to help my son get his limit. Didn't see any breeders come out. My biggest was around 12 1/2". Jigs, jigs, jigs.

My friend just told me he stopped by Hackettstown on Saturday and people were doing well on Power Bait. He didn't get a chance to fish.

As to calling game thief. I tried to myself on Friday and had similar results. People were "practicing catch and release" sure...

Sick fish dude!! WTG! I hit the local park for a little while Saturday morning. Still kinda crowded for the less than stellar weather. Only fish I saw caught were on soaking power cheese. They didn't seem to want to chase to much. I couldn't bring myself to do the bait thing so I'll wait for the water to warm a little and hopefully get out later in the week......
