Big Phish

Anyone doing any trout fishing next week? The fall season is coming up.

I've got no info on fishing in KY but I'd like to recommend that you be a little more specific. Will you be fishing from the shore or in a boat? What kind of gear do you have access to? What is your skill/knowledge level? Making things like this clear will make it a lot easier for someone who knows the lake to answer. Also you might want to name the lake in the thread title so people from the area will notice it.

My animal house answer was to Robby's

Animal House "OUTLANDER, WE HAVE YOUR WOMAN!"

Ha. Yuengers are a specialty. Only the best and the brightest drink it.

I've never had a problem and I'm on here all the time. It's probably your connection.

I agree with nugz about the pass just because I'm sure there are plenty of places to fish close to you with a regular NC fishing license. But if the fishing is good I would simply ignore the old nut job. If he called the cops on you for fishing in a neighborhood I'm sure you aunt pays plenty of money to live in, screw him. If he tries to talk to you, ignore him and if he calls the cops just show them the pass.

Great post, thanks.

Don't need one, I have a perfect immune system.

I'll be there. IHTSBIN is one of my all time favorites. You know he's coming out with a new book "A**holes Finish First"

Congrats, now you can really let yourself go....

man i hate spiders

Never seen a game there but I saw Phish there a couple months ago and it's definitely a very cool place just to be. Tons of history in there.

If you live in Bergen county don't bother with Bear Swamp. It's a total waste of time, especially if you have to hike.

I'm going to Bear Swamp Lake in Mahwah for the day tomorrow. Anyone ever been up there? It's a two mile hike but I'll be with someone who has the gate code so we can bring the truck and kayaks. If you have any tips they'd be nice.

Just ask a local.

I just entered the length and girth into the BR weight calculator and it estimated 36 pounds.

Yeah it's on NJ's fish and game site http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/news/2009/recpike09.htm So it's official, I kinda thought the same thing myself, but maybe it's just the camera?

And this came from the most polluted lake in whats supposed to be the most polluted state in the U.S.

The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife has announced that John Viglione of Ringwood made his way onto the state record fish list recently by landing a new state record Northern Pike. John was fishing in Pompton Lake, Passaic County when he reeled in the 30 pound, 8.5 ounce fish, eclipsing the old record caught 32 years ago in Spruce Run Reservoir by 6.5 ounces. John was retrieving his line after the 13th cast in the early morning hours of September 7, when the line suddenly stopped. He initially thought it was snagged, but it kept moving in a very heavy manner. Perhaps a snapping turtle had gotten ahold of his bait? That question was answered quickly, as after fifteen tense minutes - that included a spectacular "tail walk" by the fish - a new state record Northern Pike was landed and in the books. John was using a Daiwa spinning reel spooled with 8-lb. test Ande line and a Shakespeare 6' 6" pole. For bait he had on a swivel and a Blue Fox Vibrax spinner. The new record pike measured 46 inches in length and had a girth of 22.25 inches.

It only gets better.

Ha. Turns out this was a fake.

Well I have heard, on a few separate occasions, that a Bass' memory only goes back 15 minutes. If this is true it would disprove anything about bass becoming conditioned to any type of bait.

Haha, well I didn't write those. I actually found them on stumbleupon. Which provides endless entertainment. If you have firefox and don't have stumbleupon, get it.

here is another version of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xEiMpPKjFo&feature=related
