bass fishing at turkey swamp today with not even a nibble. tried everything from hula popper, roadrunners, jigs, soft plastic shads, wacky worms and so on. the action was dead, except for lots of crappies and sunnies jumping around. last time i went was 3 weeks ago, the lake was full of lily pads and was getting strikes every other cast. now all the vegitation died and the fish seem gone.

turkey swamp got flooded really bad....water was almost in the boat rental shack...I camped and fished there last weekend and only got a few sunnys...seems it never recovered after the storms.

I got skunked at Manasquan res today. Rented a row boat, and didnt get a bite. Bummer man since everyone says they kill over there.
