Haha, I've been telling everyone once I get one, I will finally have the "end all" excuse to never go back there again! I have a feeling I'll backing down that boat ramp again in the very near future.

Way to go!!! Sounds like your putting the pieces of that puzzle together quite nicely. Once you really dial in on them you should be able to go the same time each year with the tech's you learned and caught them on and repeat the Milestone Maybe it's a fall thing there????

I was there 2 weeks ago and did well too, 2eyes about the same size and some perch and crappies. IDK who keeps saying the place is full of bait but I beg to differ....greenwood and hopatcong got it beat hands down, I didnt see much bait at all actually and I was all over deep and shallow

First off, Congrats to ScowardNJ, a job well done and the patience of Job! Monksville is always like the "I'll never go back there" lake, but when you drive by the North and South ramps, it always beckons. Such a beautiful place. However, I can't help but refer to Eskimo's comments. I took the family last weekend to a lake in the middle of nowhere, just over the Jersey border in PA, that looked like Bass Nirvana Headquarters. The place looked like bass would just jump on your hook......nada.....not the nearest sign of fish activity except for minnows.

Stick to polluted waterways like the Passaic and you'll do just fine!
