My next invention is gonna be some kind of GPS tracker that u can clip to a fish fin, and find the thing on your sonar or Ipad or something. Id love to kno where those thousands of eyeballs put in there yearly are hanging out, you never hear of them up there, even in the spring theres no nite bite, and with all the herring in there, what is the deal? I kno u put some time in up there, how the hell u keep going back I dont kno, props to you for stickin w the place

We were discussing the same thing last night. Guys (including myself), have banner days/nights at Lake Hopatcong, Greenwood Lake, Swartswood, etc., but you never hear about anyone "killing it" at Monksville. We've fished the herring spawn there, fished after the turnover with jigs, and pretty much everything in between. During the Spring, I fished LH one night and killed it, then went to Monksville the very next night and got the skunk. You may be on to something with that Fin GPS tracker lol . My buddy landed a very nice 26" Walleye there on Tuesday night in the same general area that we fished last night. Without that fish, noway would my ass have been there last night lol.

Talk about a love/hate relationship, she treats me like shit, gives me something nice every once and a while, then goes back to being the evil, skunky b*tch that she is .
