Overlooked NJ Fishing Spots

[Billfish715]

Thanks to the link posted by THMYORKE, I was curious about the other link within it. It was about the warmwater fisheries stocking summaries. What caught my eye and interest was the information about the channel catfish stockings. You should check it out to see what local ponds and waters were stocked with theses great gamefish. There is probably a small duck pond in or near your neighborhood that was stocked and has a channel catfish fishery worth checking out.

I recognized many ponds in Union County, for example, that were stocked with sizeable and numerous fish. There were other ponds with names I didn't recognize in other counties that many of you might drive past without even knowing of their potential.

You will have to go through the summaries for fish that might interest you and find where they were stocked.......muskies, channel cats, crappie, bass etc. You might be very surprised at just how close to your home the likelihood of some great fishing might be. It was very sobering to see what was stocked in places where I never considered fishing for anything worthwhile.
