Was telling my buddy this just yesterday while trying to get him to hit the water with me. We all know the best times to go, but I for one just go when I can. Usually the hours that are supposed to be the least productive. Haven't hit that part of the Pompton this year, but during these hours yesterday in Elmwood Park I landed 1 carp, three decent pike, rolled the same amount, and lost a BIGGIE!! Looking for him again today turned out to be skunk trip...besides a few sunfish. But...maybe tomorrow they'll bite, could be you were just there on one of their "off" days.
