10 Wild Brook Trout in 1 hour!

Decided to change it up today after a a bad day at canistear on sat w/crazy wind in the morning

I went up to Sussex for a hike with the girlfriend. I HAD to bring a rod, knowing that there was a small brook beside the trail. This creek was spring fed and stained from the iron.

I brought with me: My 2ft ice fishing ugly stick, a small gold spinner, license, and pliers-thats it. so i can just throw it all in the backpack.

I fished about 10 pools, some no bigger than 3x3ft, and landed 10 Wild brookies in 1 hour. these fish were verryyyy aggressive.

I had snapped a quick pic of some and released them all of course. No fish was out of the water for more than 10 seconds. biggest fish was around 9"

I went from catching 1 wild trout my whole life to 10 in 1 hour! Awesome day.

Think about what a funny place New Jersey is. You can fish Sussex County in the morning and catch wild Brook Trout, then get in your car and drive 2 hours and get on the Gambler or other head boat in the afternoon, then catch Yellowfin Tuna, Swordfish, and Mahi that night.

Great color on those Brookies !!!
