No, but went the week of. I think you have a good shot since this is the winter stocking + you're getting out the day of.

Tight lines.

Don't forget about Camden County Haddon Lake, that got 200 trout !!!


That's a joke. I fish it hard every year. Never caught a trout there. Never saw a trout caught there. Just my opinion.

Ever get a snakehead out of there? I know Newton's got 'em and the Cooper River too. I'm sure the big stocked trout would make a nice meal for them just like they do for the muskies/pike in some of those north jersey spots

I stopped by Barbour pond on my way home from work last night and tossed out a trout magnet and a spinner for about a half hour without any bites. I have never caught a trout after dark and last night was no different. In response to other comments about no fish being in that pond, I ran into a guy at Jigging World last Friday who showed me a picture of a beautiful 5 lb largemouth he said was caught at Barbour pond the week prior, so it seems someone is catching fish there. Apparently the lake was recently dredged so the north end is no longer a silted up swamp. They also installed some fountains which look nice but not sure how effective they are in increasing oxygen levels in the water.

Semi glad to hear this... I was supposed to go yesterday, but my gym session prior lasted a little longer than I wanted. And by that time, tons of traffic built up where I was at... I was planning to go today, but it looks a windy... Never have a good time on 20+ days

My friends get them a lot. I never really targeted them.
