I stayed local to scratch the itch this afternoon, and made the short drive to Franklin Lake. I caught one ~1 lb. bass on a small black spinnerbait. Lots of guys soaking bait and power cheese for the stockies, but I didn't see any caught. There were a couple kids by the outflow slaying the white perch and bullheads on nightcrawlers. Saw two huge snapping turtles that looked like car tires with heads.
I then drove over to the Colt's Neck municipal ponds to see what was going on after the dredging from a couple years ago. Water was very cloudy, and there were turtles everywhere. I did catch three dink bass out of the big pond, and I mean dinks; not much bigger than the 3" slug-go I caught them on. Saw several more cruising the shoreline as well. The future looks bright there, but it will be a couple of years before anything of any size can be caught.

But I won't be around at all, so don't even bother to call,
Cause on a day like today there's one place I gotta be:
