7 lb Trout stocking today!

[RAMMFISH66]

I watched the Pequest crew stock 30- 7 lb trout in a small north Jersey pond this morning. It took the fish ten minutes to acclimate themselves and off they went. Too bad the pond is only 6" to 8" in depth and needs a good cleaning. They also dumped many smaller ones too( 6 or so net fulls.) NJ TV was there filming and of course caught me for interview. I'm gonna try to get one of those trout on April 6 if I can get close to the pond since I expect it to be crowded.Rammie is sweetwater fishing for now...the surf will wait, see 'ya all later

Can you hook your local Bergen County Brothers up? Pm the name if you dont want to put on board. Thanks.

I hope they are still there on the 6th of April. sounds like a lock for some slob trout!!! tight lines...

You could pretty much pick any goose poo infested slop hole we have here in Bergen County that is stocked and count on a few slobs to be dropped in during the first week

Whites Pond.

I'm naming it since it is public knowledge that it is one of the broodstock ponds/lakes this year.

That place is packed on ordinary opening days. With the big fish this year, I wouldn't be surprised to see seats put out on the shoreline the day before.

It is a war zone there on opening day.

Here's the trick with White's Pond. Wait and fish it in the evening..3/4 of the crowd will have left. I fish it regularly during the season since it's minutes from my home. But the real secret to fishing Whites is timing..knowing when to fish it..magic hours every morning BEFORE sunup and into sunset. See you there!

I'm always amazed that people frown upon the stocking of small ponds and other waters where trout "don't" belong.

Do people have any idea how crowded and littered the "pristine" trout waters would be if fish weren't spread around for all to enjoy? Plus, all of the revenue lost from people who didn't/couldn't want to travel for trout.

I see this at RVR ALL THE TIME... And it's worse when they set up like 5-6 rods all along a huge stretch of shoreline and they're nowhere to be found. Then they scare the crap out of you when they come strolling out of the bushes or pop up out of a pile of leaves waking up from a long nap!!!!
