I fish in a reservoir in NJ, there is also a few other places I go. I have never seen a crawfish swimming around anywhere. Do we have them in NJ? (Monmouth Co.) Are they in the deep water? Streams? Under rocks? Even as a kid when I would mess around down by the water, I never saw a crawfish. I saw lots of others things but no crawfish. Any ideas? I am also trying to determine which kind of shad live in this reservoir, and what they look like. Any ideas on how to find out?, or how to catch some of them? Thanks again everyone.

Hey Everyone, I have been learning a lot here. I just wanted to throw in a quick thank you. I have been having a pretty good summer, not a lot of fish but some pretty decent sized fish. I'll have some pictures at the end of the season. Caught a 3 or 4 pounder in a small pond with a lot of pressure on it. I caught it after about half an hour of fishing, right in front of a few others, who were probably there a long time, which caused them to get frustrated, and leave. That was kind of funny. I have seen a lot of deer, a few foxes, lots of other small animals. The best thing though, is that there is now a pair of Bald Eagles residing in my reservoir. This was my extended back yard when I was a kid. I grew up there. I know it well, and I never thought I would see a pair of Bald Eagles living in my back yard. I have seen the male every time I have been out there. I got a couple of distant pictures on my disposable fish camera. I am going to bring a digital with me next time I get out there. Really makes me glad I got back into fishing after all these years. Truly amazing. Take care, thanks again and catch Many Big Fish!

Hey Hydrilla, Nice to meet you! Jay
