Multispecies Fishing on Round Valley Reservoir in New Jersey
While I currently live in South Florida, I grew up in northern New Jersey. I went back home for about a month this summer and tried to pack as much fishing into that trip as I could. On this particular day I fished Round Valley Reservoir with two of my friends from college. We weren't really targeting any particular species and were mainly just fishing for the classic "whatever would bite". I threw around some small artificials to start and picked up a green sunfish and small largemouth bass. Switched over to some live redworms and caught a bunch of bluegill along with one yellow perch and pumpkinseed sunfish. Also threw around a size 8 xrap looking for some larger fish, but couldn't get any to bite (I did snag a large bluegill with it though). All things considered it was a good day out on the water with some friends. Most of the action came on the worms and supported my famous saying. "If you're not catching fish on live worms there are two reasons for it. First, there are no fish in the water. Second, you're the worst fisherman ever." I love any kind of fishing and have to say that fishing with worms isn't nearly as fun as it once was for me. It produces fish, but it takes the fun and excitement out of it for me. Anyway, if you'd like to see the trip, here is the video.

Hi, Arthur in this case you should post more about the fish caught (large or small) from your exotic locals most of us city dwellers can only dream of fishing, after all this thread is in a “UL” sub-forum. I’m sure you’ll draw more discussions from like minded members like me. Here’s 3 photos to get started! All accidentally caught from home water..lol
...the first picture baby green sunfish bite a fly tipped with worm, won’t let go even out of water!

Oh by the way I’d love to fish in Florida someday if not soon. We supposed to go to Boca Raton for a vacation this year b4 the covid19 and I was to wet my line for 1/2 a day at the in-let...picked up a 6 pc travel rod just for it. Ce la vie it has to wait!

Thanks. First one is an African jewel fish. They reach a max size of around 4 inches so this one was probably full grown or close to it. The second two you were right about. Juvenile oscar and peacock bass.
