FINALLY!!! After trying to catch one for literally 25 years to caught my first redfin pickerel today. It's species #129 caught. Next up is the pirate Perch. Hopefully it doesn't take me as long.

Thanks guys. I will try them all when the crowds die down a little. I tried pemberton lake today, it was almost shoulder to shoulder people. Since I release all freshwater fish (even trout and perch but they are tasty), I think I'm going to focus on the conservation area. Is bait allowed or...

I'm going to try the toms river this year. I've of some nice trout coming out of it. Now I just have to find some spots

True. I just don't want to step the wrong place and get bit.

I hate snakes and was thinking the cold might lower my chance of meeting one. I went fishing in early summer and found a rattle snake along the water edge. You would of thought I saw a ghost the way I ran out of there!

Keith, I was looking at the lake on google maps and it looks like the lake is surrounded by private homes. What part do you fish from shore- Holly Blvd or the other side?

Thanks for your help. I still haven't caught one but I'm getting closer. Thanks to everyone for their help

Thank you Jeff. Do redfins not eat worms? Nice pics too

I've fished the Assunpink lake many times and never caught a redfin. I just want to catch one- any size.

Got your email. Thank you

Bobpbx I never heard of it before but it sounds like what I'm looking for. Any chance you can hook me up some directions from rte 70. You can email me if you would like - herringking@hotmail.com . Thank you very much. Brian

Thanks Dogg57. I need to hit up Batsto. I keep hearing good things about it. Jeff, I was hoping you would reply. I understand that you are a redfin expert. The problem is for me to check it off my list, it has to be caught on hook and line. Size isn't really a concern because I'm not keeping...

I've been hitting every small strem, creek and swampy water I've seen in South and Central Jersey. I can't seem to find a redfin pickerel. It doesn't even have to be a big one, I just want to check it off my list. Part of the problem is that I don't know alot of the roads in the pines so when...

Yea man. I can't wait. I actually do more striper fishing in the Rancocas than the Delaware.

Thanks. Sounds like a nice spot. Thanks for the hook up. I'm trying to find it on google maps.

I know the water is still very cold but I thought pickerel loved cold water. I've been out twice so far ( Smithville lake and Mirror lake) without a bite, a bump or even seeing a fish. I was using spinners which might be too fast for this time of year but I can't find any shiners. All I know is...

Sounds good. I was expecting them to be pretty small. Just want to catch one so I can check it off the list. Thanks for you help. Now I just need to find an abandoned bog that is deep in the woods.:)

Thanks guys. I'll post how I make out.

I want to fish Make peace lake in the next week or two. I was looking for some infomation before I head down. My target is redfin pickerel. Is it true that they are in there? It seems to be the only lake in NJ that has them. Is there a place to put my 12 foot jon boat in? Any good lures or bait...

Hewey, What road do you take to get to makepeace in the winter. Is it possible to get a boat in there?
