Re: Opening Day Trout! Where ya headed???
Just got back from the local stock pond. Maybe 6 fish caught that I saw for maybe 25 people spread all around. Even saw a couple canoes out in the middle only get 1. Tough morning and super cold but not nearly as bad as the weatherman said. I may try again tomorrow but until there's some actual sun I don't see it picking up.

Hit a local pond around 10am. 20 anglers with only a few between them. Started with pink garlic salmon eggs retrieved super slow with just a couple small split shot. Consistently hooked up. Caught 14 and left with my limit in about 1 1/2 hours.

Re: Opening Day Trout! Where ya headed???
.
I managed to catch a few at Seely's Pond. I saw maybe 40 trout caught in the first two hours, with a few guys limiting-out and going home in the first half-hour. Standing in cold, squishy mud when it's 30 degrees out isn't ideal fishing conditions, but my little bottle of Wild Turkey 101 made the conditions more tolerable. Fish & Game usually sends a census taker out to the pond on opening day to see how we did, but I didn't see one this year. .

Killed it on the rockaway. Between me and 6 other guys we caught over 50. I landed 9 and many other hits. Spinners took most, repalas and powerbait did work.

Re: Opening Day Trout! Where ya headed???
Sounds like a bunch of guys did well from what I'm hearing via text/phone and seeing on this forum. Way to go to the guys that caught some fish. AWESOME!!! It's just the beginning of another banner season here in the beautiful state of NJ!
YEA BUDDY!!!!!

Re: Opening Day Trout! Where ya headed???
Me and my cousin slammed the stream early this morning. We got there around 4am and we were the only people there all day once 8am and beyond rolled around. I limited out caught 6 Rainbows in an hour, cousin got 4 bows so it was a banner opening day for the family.
