Yesterday Afternoon I hooked up with Aaron on the Musconetcong River out in the area of Asbury. I really haven't been out on the Musky Since I was a kid..( My Father had no issues with tresspassing into the private waters with his son) Now as an adult I realize why we had to tresspass in order to catch fish.. Whatever little section of public land we fished yesterday was an insult.. At either end we were cabled in like caged animals.. When we first arrived we noticed the slobs fishing bait had there stringers half full, near there limit complaining the fishing was slow..Well Hmmmm maybe its slow because there all in your freezer, I thought and I knew Aaron was thinking the same.. I really think some rivers in NJ should have a delayed Harvest, (Extend the fun a little)...Should the musky be one? I don't know but I know a few rivers that would benefit from it.
In are travels looking for fishable public land we drove through a very strong sulphur hatch, but we never found a fishable spot. We both managed a few, Aaron did quite well despite the lack of fish...I must admit the musconetcong is crap, its either the bait guys clean it out or there's five signs on a single tree warning about tresspassing, Its a Joke!
