Regret is an understatement, its so bad that one day im going to work up the courage to knock on a door and ask the guy if he ever decides to sell his house I want it, and will trade straight up even knowing id have to put $100k of work into it. Anyhow, when we go for a walk and I know ill be near water I sneak a rod to make a few casts. I did pretty well this summer between the reservoir, Milton, and spots in cranford. What my wife doesn’t know is every trip is a scouting mission to put my son on fish. And im not talking about dinky little sunnies. Last time in cranford I pulled a nice bass out of some weeds, people walk by and ask “catch anything?” I always answer no. my wife gets mad that I lie about it, always says why do you do that. Ive been strictly saltwater for a long time, just recently started fishing fresh, its an old habit to never tell people yes im catching fish because no one likes to be crowded. Ill straight up lie to people while im dropping the fish in the water, nope didn’t catch anything.

Sooooo that being said, the carp are tiny in nomahegan and there are no fish in the resevoir LOL

I hear that man. I couldn't agree more. That's why you don't see any of my reports up here. I have caught a fish since '08.
