Colliers Mills triple

[NJ219bands]

Went ultralight jigging in 59 degree water at the Colliers Mills WMA this evening on a sunny, cold day with a strong northwest wind. White caps were on the pond. Lily pads covered my spot. I probably won’t return there until March. Went to my backup spot but fishermen were there. Ended up on the fishing pier in the northeast corner of the waterway. A pair of Canada geese were there with 3 goslings. 5 deer were in the field. Took pics. No fishermen were nearby. Caught and released 2 largemouth bass, a pickerel and a 12” black crappie with a white 1/8 oz leadhead jig and 2” white Berkeley power grub on 4 lb test line. Lost 3 fish.

Sounds like a good day after Plan A and Plan B didn’t work out

When did they put in a fishing dock? I've only been to the range on Colliers Mills this year. Always had good fishing on Turnmill and Kennedy Pond by the range.

I never saw it before. It’s near the spillway. I was very surprised to see 5 deer there.
