Noticed a lot of panfish, plus allot of top water splashing and fish maybe bass leaving the water.

The answer would be above sir.

That's actually the North Haledon Reservoir or as it is now called the Franklin Lakes Nature Preserve. This is on the Ewing ave side of the resi.

And my wife sucks at taking pictures.

Looks like my son was trying to get caviar out of it. Geez!

...and it was'nt me It was caught on that expensive Spiderman combo you see at the bottom right using a crappie chartruese plastic with an orange and chartruese jig head. We went back to the resi I went to on Saturday when it was pouring. He and his mom were behind me in the cove and I was on the lake side with my quasy fancy gear catching nothing. To note though they way I heard it it was a bedding bass my son was spotting and she was agitating it with the jig... so in my book they were cheating.

I need my raw thumb fix.

So I can get bit, and lip one already.

I need a spot like that.

Great, I'm getting out fished by Jr. Good for him. It's always good to see the little guys getting action. We have a trip planned next week for some fishing with my little whiper snapper.

Up here I've been getting strikes, but so far no lippers on CBs and Space Monkeys.

I'm pretty sure I will be one of them when I get my first boat.

I wouldn't be skunked this year :cry4:That's been the story of my year so far. So Decided to ignore the bad weather and go out to the reservoir today, and do my bank dance around 6pm. Went to a part of the resi I haven't been yet, looks like a canal but it dead ends so maybe its a creek. Was using a Xcaliber cx 200 craw square bill felt that puppy bouncing of timbers and would pause a half a sec after each timber hit and continue. So at the last piece of timber in front of me I pause and boom I see the strike and the fish so I engage then... spits the crank. that was in the first 20 minutes being there plus I got poured on and hailed on... no rain coat...then it started thundr'n and lightn'....so I hauled backside. Still had a good time though.

Yeah it does suck done it a few times, but try this if you get a lure stuck in a tree. I have one of those telescoping paint roller extension and hose clamped a heavy duty hook at the end, it doesn't have to be a fishing hook any good sturdy hook will do. Just leave it in your vehicle or go back the next day and retrieve your lures out of the tree. Have done it several times with success retrieving lures out of trees. ​ It also helps if you carry an extra rod with you, makes a great retrieval tool also. Now for the ones that get stuck under water... swim at your own risk.

He probably owns a couple of Mcds franchises.

I hear ya, my wife thinks I'm nuts too but my 3 year old son thinks I'm The best.

California 420... huh. So what are gonna do? Get the fish high or are you gonna catch it.

JB, you crack me up my friend.

Hook em in the A hole, and see how erratic it swims. Probably get the bass to talk behind his back.

You start cranking it right before it hits the water.

It's a top water bait, it can be a foot deep.

It's been ice out up here for like a month, and I still ain't caught $#¡[

Wow. Nice Hawgs!! Seems like blue and black jigs are the spring colors.

What parts of Jersey did you catch that pig?

Now a question, what is this suppose to imitate?
