Clyde Potts Reservoir (Mendham Township)

I went out here with two friends and the fishing was EXCELLENT! We fished for 40 minutes before the police came. They were the nicest cops ever. They gave us a ticket though, but thats their job. I can't blame them. Before they came, each of us had about 4 or 5 nice fish! Just be careful if you ever go here. Make sure you have an escape route!

Me and 2 friends went out to Clinton Reservoir for the first time this year. We got there around 6:00am and by 6:30am we were catching. The fish seemed pretty active all day until around 11:00am. Caught a few small guys and 1 nice Largemouth Bass that weighed in at 4lbs. 8oz. Overall, a beautiful day on the water...

It was a little chilly around 5:50am. We had to leave early while it was still dark to get into where we had to get. Overall, we caught about 80 fish within 5 hours. I know this sounds like BS but I put up a few of the pictures. It was weird. From 6:00am to 8:30am we caught non-stop 1 and 2 pounders. Then, from 9:00am to 11:45am we started catching 3 pounders with an occasional whopper. I caught the biggest Crappie I have ever seen, but I had no scale so I let it go and I will go back in a few weeks and catch it again. We had to leave because of easter dinner but I will be back!

Reservoir in North Jersey...
4/19/2009

I went here at 12:30PM and didn't really think we would catch much. I was DEAD wrong!!! My third cast of the day brought in a nice Smallmouth Bass. After about an hour I pulled a nice 5lb. 10oz. Largemouth Bass.

Pequannock River (Near Pequannock)

A friend and I went out trout fishing just to outside on a beautiful morning. Little did we know the trout were "on fire." From the 2nd cast of the day we were catching non-stop Rainbow and Brook Trout with the occasional Brown Trout. Most were larger than 10 inches. It got to the point that the 10 inch fish were getting annoying. Great time!

Split Rock Reservoir
7/27/2005

Started out way in the back past the islands around 6:00 or 6:15. I hooked into the Smallmouth around 6:45 on a small gold colored spinner. It was 1lb. 10oz. My buddy caught a nice Largemouth (3lbs. 8oz.) on a watermelon senko at 7:20. Then we hit the school of little dinks. We probably caught about 5 between both of us casting over a reddish-colored weed bed. Finally, around 8:30 I finally hooked into my Largemouth of the day (pic with no shirt). I thought I had a monster on a double-blade spinner with a white skirt. I was so excited when I saw him, that after I took the picture, I wanted to get him back in the water as soon as possible, I just threw him back in without weighing him. The scale was in my buddy's pocket the whole time but I just wanted to get the fish back in water. All in all, we had a productive day, it was the heat beating on us the whole 45 minute hike back to the car that made me second guess if it was worth it. After getting out of the heat, I came to my senses and it was worth it!

Near Rt.23. I would tell you where it is, but the last time I mentioned this place at another web site alot of people were upset because no one is allowed to be fishing there.

I went to Lake Hopatcong today and I caught 1 decent sized smallmouth. And I caught 3 largemouths but released all of them because they were to small. Do you know of any hot spots in Lake Hopatcong and Delaware River??
