My first thought was farrington lake but the spots where the lilly pads were , the water level is so low the lilly pads are on land now ! I went there and i was like WTF i dont remember it being like this.

Then i decided to davidson mill pond futher down , thought it was perfect area to fish. Ive gotten skunked twice, i didnt even see a single fish jump let alone hit my lure. The best action i got was from a bullfrog trying to eat my frog lol

Then i went to lake manalapan. not a bad area , it has some lillypads on the right side but very over fished , very crowded, people sitting infront of lilly pad areas not working the cover, just being in the way, fishing on both sides with 3 fishing poles at the same time. I met this other guy there and we talked a little and he was like f#k this $h#t, im out, im going somewhere else.

Then i came across columbus park in piscataway, im talking about new market pond. place seemed perfect! plenty of lilly pads and cover, just the prefect fishing spot for what i was looking for. Then i go online to do research as i always do and i find out there was a MASSIVE fish kill. The the water is heavily polluted! Polluted to the point where people dont even recommend walking near the bank and getting mud on your shoes let alone fish there.

I feel like i cant win

Is there anywhere i can fish in central jersey that has lilly pads and lots of cover, isnt polluted or crowded and actually has fish ? lol maybe even some pickerel cause ive never caught one.

Am I asking for too much ? lol
move to a different state lol
