Slamapo lives up to its name!

[shrimpman steve]

Gave Eric the MM a call on my way to the 'Po and he decided to meet me there. I was in the water at 7:45 for the 8:00 first cast.

First cast, first fish. Second cast, same result, and so on for the third. Three casts and three fish (all on spinners). Eric showed up around 8:15 and I already had 6! after a while the fish no longer wanted the spinners so it was time to throw some bait. Started with worms, caught a bunch. Switched to eggs, caught a bunch. next were the fat heads and it was non stop game on!

Action slowed a little around 11:00 so eric and I went and grabbed some sabretts (natural casing of coarse:D). Went back to the river and the fish were ready for their afternoon meal. Started with the fat heads and it was insane! by 3:00 my rotator cuffs were screaming and I couldn't make another cast:mad:! I ended the opener with 40 brookies including one 3 pound breeder! One of the best openers ever for me. I think Eric has a new favorite secret spot:rolleyes:, being that he did just as well!

ALL FISH RELEASED UNHARMED

[Wilson]

why?:D I want to show you and fish with you on a more sporting river experience.
The scenery is def. better:)
I'm assuming you prob. haven't Trout fished in too many other places then the Ramapo.
Of course I could be completely wrong too:eek:

you are not wrong at all. I only started trout fishing when I moved up to ringwood 8 years ago. The ramapo is pretty much the only river I have fished, only because it is 5 minutes away from my house.

I don't want to go anywhere else, I may realize I suck:D

Only kidding about not trying new things, I would love to make some plans and try something new. But it is hard to beat the action in my spot on the 'Po!

After a couple of slow weeks of chasing cod I decided to get out for my first opening day of trout season in 25 years. I woke up late and got a call from the shrimpman, who was kind enough to invite to his favorite spot. I dusted off my old trout stuff but I was not well prepared with old line and no salmon eggs. By the time I got there Shrimp already had caught six. I started off with a panther martin and had fish on for the first seven casts. By this time I had come to conclusion that there were alot of fish here and that the Shrimpman had done me a solid. The action continued thru out the morning with some spurts and slow spots. I caught fish on spinners, worms, power bait, and fat heads. I ended at 1pm and had 35 and lost too many to count. What a start!! A big thanks to the Shrimpman.

Dont let him fool you, he was using those tiny shrimp from a can all day. The only spinners he used was the can opener to open the shrimp. I saw him.
