Always looking to get together with some people for a little fishing during the week. I'm in north jersey (Bergen) county. I fish some local lakes and reservoirs almost every day. Let me know if you have any recommendations on places to fish or want to meet up to do a little fishing.

Work in bergen - live in morris - travel through passaic 2x per day - where do you live in BC? I work in south hackensack but don't know much about the area as far as fishing is concerned...

I'm local as well (Nutley). Where abouts do you usually fish now?

I live in the north east corner of Bergen county. Harrington Park, there a few little ponds and lakes by me that I like to fish. Always looking for new areas though. Let me know if you are fishing any of your local spots and don't mind having some company. I'm willing to travel!

Not sure if this is still allowed after 9/11....
Did you ever fish the Oradell Res.? You used to be able to get a permit and fish the res. but only from shore.
They charged I think $5.00 for the permit, and it was worth it.
Fishing the Shamokin dam power plant on the Susky. was great too...until 9/11

yea you can still fish there. I'm actually thinking of going tonight for a little bit. All you need is your nj fresh water license and a permit from United Water. I can access it within walking distance of my house. Good fishing there but I've only tried night fishing it 2 times and didn't have any luck.

Try some chicken livers and a Hatteras heaver kind if rod and reel if fishing at night.

Thanks Wilson, I'll give it a try. Last night I picked up a few small bass on the surface.

That Guy, I am in Closter and fish at the Oradell Reservoir quite often.

I'm in Hasbrouck Heights. I would love to meet up as well. I usually fish the top lake at the Ramapo reservation and do well on lmb, smb, and trout.
I have some type of key and pass to locked protected watersheds that were closed after 9/11. I never used it and will have to find it. I am sure it is expired but i can see what i need to do to.get an up to date pass.
My boss gave it to me as he knows my love for fishing.
