Opening Day News & Updates

[dboyd101]

Figured I would start this one up. Post to this thread to let us know anything fun/exciting including nice catches, bloopers, or epic fails you might see today!

I'll start it off:

Get up @ 4:00am - good job. An accomplishment on it's own.

Look for keys for 15 minutes - fail

Get to spot at 5:15 - epic awesomeness

Get creeped out bc I realize I'm in my car under a shady bridge that I'll probably be murdered under? Fail

2.5 hrs left.

Fail for me - left my Tackle box in closet. Went back home. Here now. Got a good (hopefully!) spot.

Saw two guys. Nj dfw says this spot is seasonal tca. Sign says different. They will be getting a call from moi.

Cheers. Oh. I posted a video to facebook. We need a facebook group or page, yeah? Votes on that?

There are defiantly otters in NJ. I have seen them in the the manasqan, they were much bigger than a squirrel more like a large cat.They are extremely rare

Other then not catching any fish, everything from getting up, to getting to the lake on time, to not forgetting anything, to beautiful opening day weather, was GREAT!!!

buddy and I just fished out in Clinton area. Great time and awesome weather. I was lucky to land 12 keepers and my friend had 7. Best opening day I had in the last couple of years. The water was a little crowded but not to bad. We only kept our limit and released the rest for another day!

Caught them on eggs, spinners and trout magnets.

My friend Capt. Lou and I saw a "Mink" in the South Branch today. We both hunt so there was no doubt it was a mink. It was running along the bank and then slipped into the water. It had a long tail and was very dark brown.
