Default Monksville Milestone!

After targeting walleyes in Monksville for over a year, tonight I finally closed a chapter in what I thought was going to be a never ending saga. Everyone knows that lake sucks, but I would always run into someone who knew a dude that pulled a walleye out of that place. I've been drawn back there dozens of times on tidbits of info about a guy who knows a guy that gets eyes hear or there. I've logged 6 trips in the past 3 weeks getting there before dawn and fishing after work until midnight catching maybe a sunny. I actually saw a pair of women's underwear get caught off the bottom of that place. Well,,, tonight I finally broke the curse. I got 2 eyes at 17" and 20" and lost one at the net.

I am amazed. After decades of stocking, someone actually found a few gamefish residing in that aseptic swimming pool.

Your next mission is to find Bigfoot and take a picture with him.

North Jersey has a number of dead lakes. Some say it's the acidity (naturally occurring and exacerbated by acid rain). Others say it's the Copper naturally found in the rocks. I hiked out to a few lakes that have no road access expecting the lake to be overfilled with bass because the access was so difficult, only to find the lake completely barren of anything but tiny sunfish. An example of this would be Sunfish Pond in Worthington State Forest.
