pickerelpiney

those are some serious fish.

AND PICKEREL!!!

alot of our lakes here in nj get drained often.(the smaller ones.) Generally these lakes have channel running through the bottom that drains directly to the mouth of the creek or river that empties it. This low spot usually holds enough water to hold the fish that are smart enough to dive . looks like a dried lake bed with a creek running through it. Unless they drained every inch then i dont know how. i have no idea why the fishing is better though. cleaner happier fish?

i dont eat any of the fish in our waters. i read reports that the mercury level and pollutoin are so high you can only eat about one serving a month depending on what body of water you fish.

went out in the boat today. caught several bass in the 2 2.5lb range. And one big yellow perch on a senko. didnt even know we had them in this lake. sorry no pics of the bass, but my cell cam battery died. >

beautiful fish, wish we had them here naturally. they stock a lake by my house but i think they die in the summer. :-[

i think N. pike fins look so cool with their colorations on the fins. Pike are supposed to be larger than pickerel on average, but i keep landing big uns. take a look at the 30" er in my other post "pick me a winner" its crazy to think its as big as your pike.

Thank you very much sir. I just figured that most bass fisherman dont like pickerel. Waiting for my first, "not another pickerel" comment

senkos, ahh the best invention ever. they and all salt impregnated plastics account for 85% of my bass. NIce fish.

that one through the ice is pretty impressive. its also nice to know i can fish in winter here in south jersey for something good.

i am gonna start using the litle ones for bait

hello fellow anglers. sorry to post another pic of a pick, but this guy was a beast. i nailed him on a double blade spinner about ten feet from shore, and my drag was screaming. the idea that pickerel dont fight good is insane. i had to crank down on the drag as tight as i could manage, and he still ran. when i got this whopper in he was to strong for me to even get a good handle on. so one snap of the cam phone and sent him on his way. this guy is almost a new PB. maybe a tie. 30" long

i actually enjoy pickerel fishing more than bass fishing sometimes. I just really enjoy how the picks strike so hard on the lure. they come shootong in and nail it right in front of you. And as for the fight, it depends on the fish. I have caught sunnies that have put up a better fight than a 3 lb bass. I also like when the pickerel jump out of the water. i guess i am just down to catch anything that will bite.

no not ocean acres, but i was just there today. i can never catch anything from shore there, but a boats a whole other story. that lakes got the biggest fish in south jersey. keep it location a secret.

are you neer milwaukee? that things got a beer belly.

i am in ocean county.{LBI area} as for the tail question asked earlier, i dont know why hes a bleeder. this guy was caught on a berkely "something " dancer. loos like a grub tail with a bit fat metal lip witha bend in it. Pulled this guy off the bottom.

heres a nice guy i caught here in s. jersey un a sandplant lake. winters closing in and i hope to keep reeling em in.

heres a beast i caught just today. i just stunk that i was by myself and couldnt get a good pic. this thing was over 25" long and weighed about four pounds. i swear they keep getting bigger. i wish i got a shot of how wide the head was.

heres another one for the logs. Catching lots of nice ones latey, but these got nothing on the muskie i am about to start hunting. pics to come soon... ( hopefully)

got any picks? its funny if your telling the truth cause my friends and i today went fishing and encountered some deer. we were saying how we should get tuns rods and try to catch them. hehe

usually i dont even have them long enough to hold them. they are good at unhooking themselves once landed. otherwise, i grag just like how you see in the pic. man handle them. i tried to lip a 2 pomder once, it worked until he went all crazy and chomped me.

looks like youre trying to figure out the best way to get a grip on these slimy guys too.lol

Bamber lake is good fishing , went there for the first timefew weeks ago and my friend nailed a big bass around six pounds. GIANT pickerel too. I wanted to get up into double trouble parks lake back in there but havent had a chance. These guys i caught in one of sand plants that we have out here. Its right off rt. 539 warren grove.

maybe he just got done eating a smurf that fell in the lake.

i would have punched the guy and took his wallet. >
