Thumbs up Opening Day Trout! Where ya headed???

Well it's that time of year again! The Trout are waiting for us! I was up at the Pequest 3 weeks ago or so and that place was still loaded up with big stockies from the fall stocking! Managed 1 wild Brown that day as well! Real pretty fish! It's go time Saturday morning at 8 am! YEA BUDDY!!!

Myself and a few buddies will be starting at the clean, pristine and picturesque Pohatcong creek! If you don't have anywhere to go or your not sure where to go PM me for the gps coordinates and c'mon down! This is an open invite for anyone interested in catching some Trout and having a good time! I'll be out there bright and early with my son Chase "CHASEPAIN"! Keeping the tradition going for years and years to come. It's part of my life and I can't get enough of the outdoors! Passing this tradition down to my kids makes me a proud dad! Proud to be American! Proud to have this freedom! Proud of the fine people at NJF&G for keeping this tradition alive and well in this beautiful small state! On that note............WHERE's EVERYONE HEADED FOR THE OPENER???

Let's get out there, have some fun and catch some fish guys and gals! See you out there!!!

TIGHT LINEZ!!!!

This will be my first time fishing trout. I'm either going with a friend to I think he said Hackettstown or I'm just gonna show up at the local pond that is stocked at 7am and see if there's a spot left. I don't know how busy it gets with so many different areas being stocked.

The last couple of years I've been down in Florida for opening day. Last year I went down to Florida twice and couldn't make the financial stretch to be back in Florida again in time for April.

Unless somebody has a better idea, I'll probably to Seeley's Pond in Union County because it's the place I've always gone on opening day since I was old enough to drive.

The issue with that pond is some years the local "pescadores" poach all the trout before opening day. On those years, most of the people fishing there end up getting the skunk.

I really don't give a shit though. I prefer fishing for bass. Any trout from a put-and-take pond are just a bonus. It just pisses me off to get up early on a Saturday and not catch anything. I could stay home and not catch anything.

Don't like crowds. Got access to a private pond with about 75 rainbows @ 14 to 15 inches stocked in Nov. of 2015 waiting for my friend, myself, and the owner. What a nice way to spend the day. Good fishing to you ladies and gentleman of this forum.

Considering either the Musconetcong River or taking the boat out on Aeroflex.

Slight chance of getting to go on a private lake with a friend, which might offer my best chances.

My daughter and I will start at the mill on the Rahway then over to Nomahegan. Don't know how long she will last in the cold.
She doesn't like to leave until she gets one.
