Clinton Rd Resevoir 4/10

[NorthJerzyG]

Headed up to Clinton Rd this morning. After stopping to buy a fishing license, then fishing and boating permits, we finally got on the water about 10:30. Conditions were rough. Windy, cool, and passing showers.

Fished till about 3, landed 6 smallies. 2 average and 4 fatties. Got 3 of em trolling crankbaits, 1 on a spinner, and 2 on shiners. Great first outing in my new craft.

Great smallies man! How deep were the fish?

[NorthJerzyG]

Not too sure since i havnt equipped myself with sonar yet. I would say rough estimate, 12-15 ft. I was trolling along the shoreline maybe 20 yards off shore.

Nice Smallies!!! That Newark Watershed, Clinton, Canistear, Oak Ridge and Echo Lake res is the BEST fishery that NJ has. Great job!!!

Don't think you were that deep as I see the launch behind you that area is shallow and with lots of humps, if you were over 10 ft max that would be a good guess. Beautiful fish and yes the Newerk watersheds minus RVR is the best waters to fish bar none.
