Thread: crappies in new jersey

I'm new to the forum however noticed that the state forums don't include new jersey! are there any other members located in new jersey?

private message slab and ask him to add it....

Welcome to crappie.com and I'm sure there has to be a few from New Jersey. If not, we will help you all we can

well, it might be a good idea to see how many members are interested in a new jersey specific forum.

Being from a place called "Ocean County" most folks would figure you'd be more interested in saltwater fishing... or are the not any saltwater fish left in the ocean up there for some reason???

I would walk over a dozen 12" crappie for 2 good 10" Northern Puffers!!!... a "Y" shaped piece of cartlige and no bones! Be careful how you clean them though, they can kill you if you do it wrong!

saltwater is the big game out here.. but its not much of a challenge.. in fact there's a nuclear power plant local that warms up the water and you can catch anything from blowfish, striper, weakfish, blues, ... the list goes on.. and its literally like pulling them out of a bucket.. everyone has boats too, but being between seaside and long beach island here.. there's a lot of tourism on the boats..

i'm really not much of a follower.. i enjoy freshwater fishing much more.

Are you referring to 'Blowfish'? If so, GREAT EATING!!! Haven't caught any this year, however, several years ago while fishing at Cape Cod, Mass., I caught many! Don't know what happened to them, as I've already been fishing at Hyannis and haven't seen nor heard of anyone catching em (caught plenty of Seabass and Porgies with a 2 Blackfish aka Tautog). Weather has been so erratic, I decided to hit the Saltwater instead of the lake

As for Jersey... what part of Jersey? I've been to a lake called 'Farrington' (not to far off Rte 18 - East Brunswick). Nice crappie fishing there.

theres alot of that here.....
