I agree with the comment about Carneige Lake. I often fish the board walk area by the Princeton aqueducts for Calico Bass in Carneige Lake.
Although we aren't talking trout here, you can watch the cormorants diving down and feeding all day long on crappies, sunfish, perch, small bass, etc.

I realize that this is all natural, and they hafta eat too, but I also like to eat the crappies and yellow perch they are scoffing down.

Also, at the dinky Mohawk Pond in Red Bank these birds seem to know when the stocking days are. Many of them sit on the pond overflow drain in the middle of the lake and rapidly go into action feeding on the trout as the stocking truck is dumping them in.

I've fished both these places for many years, and I never remember seeing them when I was a kid 60 years ago. Now the cormorants are all over.
