Hi I will be fishing in Maine next year. I was in informed that I need stainless Steel jigheads. I have searched the web, where can I find these? I am not having any luck finding them. Thanks

I have a day and 1/2 to hit Black Lake without really getting the family really mad; I'm meeting them in NY. Any suggestions for a guide or boat rental places. Been wanting to hit this lake, just haven't had the time!

Thanks for all all the good information, can't wait to fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great fish!!!!!!!!!!!! Congradulations Can't wait for loose water! Peace Smuth

Micro, sometimes I can't even catch sunnies! Beats working!!

Bilgerat I have a 10' jon boat, but the guy who had it before me built a deck on it, so it is very heavy. I also have a nice14' V hull. I bought a plain jon boat with my friend. Used it on the little lakes by my house, car top launches. We kept at his house because he used more than I did. He got divorced, the boat was deemed part of the estate, and I lost the boat. I wish I could find one of those little Crawdads (remember those?). I would keep it at my house! Live and learn, after 50 years you think I would have learned something!

Yes, a saw many interesting places! Pickerel heaven! Thanks again

Bilgerat Made it down to Chatsworth, can you put a boat in; I didn't see any parking, do you park along the road. The ride was nice, but the lake is frozen :'( Thanks for the info!

Mark Please pass the responses, I've been wanting to fish Black Lake for years. Maybe this year. Also are does anybody know a good guide for Black Lake?

Doesn't it make to want to fish right now!

Great Fish, must have been a tough fight!

RoLo Wow!! 9lbers, must have be fun to dehook. Heard the NJ went south to FA, sorry. Good Luck in the lakes

Bilgerat THANKS, ironically I purchased county maps today, my wife will be happy! Thanks again. The water is hard here except by the dam, threw for about an hour, got a nice tug but had to leave. Work always has a a way of screwing up your schedule! I'm going to the fishing expo next week, wonder how much useless stuff I'll buy Thanks Again

Bilgerat Thanks for the advice. It sounds like a good way to kill a winter day, and find a few good spots. I'm looking forward to the trip! Thanks Again Stay warm

Kingbass. Picks are similar to gar but with wider mouths. I think they are primarily a northern fish, but I'm not sure. They are fun to catch. At least once a year I get nailed dehooking the fish and have gotten some nasty cuts, but electric tape and a piece of a shirt work wonders!

Bilgerat, I heard the southern lakes hold picks, any suggestions? Thanks for the tip

I guess they do bite anything, I love the fight they give you, and they bite in the winter; Good Luck guys.

Marty Thanks I' ll try the spinner. Picks are fun to catch. I figure because they are mean and I just stuck a hook in its head. Stay warm

Marty I like fishing for Picks, I was hoping somebody could turn me on to a spot. Central NJ lakes are pressured and sometimes tough to fish. Thanks for the reply. What is your favorite pickerel lure. Mine is a Cabelos aqua-glow purple/gold flecked worm. The picks seem to jump at that worm. Stay Warm -my wife's Grandma used to have a cabin on Rice Lake, almost across the lake from you. I loved going there. Eventually I want to try Black Lake, but work gets in the way!

Goose Good Luck in the tournament! In NJ its 25 with a a 10-20 mph wind. I'm watching Bassmasters and the new Cabelos catalog came today, so I can't complain too much. Can you post your results so I can drool..........

Any pickerel fans out there?

Goose List is growing, but I'll still use my stand-bys Don't spend too much money!

To rub salt in the wound the Bass Pro catalog came yesterday.........

Can anybody suggest a place for smallies in NJ?

I get past the winter by buying more tackle , and hoping the weather warms up quickly
