4/2 Oradell Report

[Bergen Angler]

Oradell Gate #2:
Temp: 38
Wind: probably West of 14-18 mph

Tried a few spots where I caught LMB, SMB, white perch, yellow perch and crappies last year.

Lures:
jig (1/8, 1/4) with grub
in-line spinner: mepps dressed #2
spoon: 1/2 oz
Trick worm with 60 degree jig head

NADA.

I didn't see any bait fish or any crawfish. What does Bass eat when it's this cold? Do they even eat anything?

I am gonna hit the Emerson gate tomorrow for Carp & Yellow perch or whatever will consume my Canadian night crawlers. Usually go to the Harwoth gate but this is a shorter walk and area looks better since it is next to a stream that is feed from Emerson. See 'ya later

It doesnt matter now as the reports arent anything to write home about, but as it picks up you may want to be a bit more vague in your reports. There's a lot more people fishing in this area in the last few years than I have ever seen before (and I've been fishing here since I could stand). One of the local holes I used to fish more or less alone for years and years is now often crowded and I never even considered posting it online. Reports are great but your best probably leaving it to just the res in general and not gates, structure, and so forth. I rarely fish there and I live down the block, just a heads up so you dont ruin your own spots.

Agreed. So I was somewhere in NJ fishing the other month when I caught a certain fish. It was a nice fish. The weather outside was weather at the time. This place was right near that other place by those trees.

Not sure you are just being funny or being sarcastic.

I was somewhere in the Oradel reservoir today with NO luck but it was a nice refreshing time. Thank you for the advise as to my favorite "honey spots" too!!!!
