So What’s The NJ Freshwater Fishing Record

So What’s The NJ Freshwater Fishing Record

I was reading through some fishing posts today and became curious as to what the state records were for freshwater fish in NJ. So I did some quick research and found a website which lists all of the NJ state records for fresh water fish.

Want to see it? Then go here:

It’s interesting to see that the New Jersey largemouth bass state record is only 10lbs, 14 oz. That sounds breakable to me – how about you?

I enjoy fishing – it’s relaxing, fun, thrilling and exciting … all rolled into one!

What about you? What is it that makes you like fishing? Post some thoughts here for me?

‘Til next time – catch you later.

Let Them Eat Fish … errr Cake!

Let Them Eat Fish … errr Cake!

In light of the global warming and the depletion of our mother earth’s resources, it’s sometimes hard to keep a smile on your face.

Turns out that Marie Antoinette or Marie-Thérèse or whoever it was that made that statement so long ago, was right! What’s this all about, you ask me?

I was just reading an article about how many freshwater fish you should eat that are caught in New Jersey and how many seafood items you should eat. It was very discouraging to read. We really are messing up this great big beautiful world that we live in and it almost seems that no one cares. But I care! Don’t you?

The article gives links to some safe and ecologically sound eating guides for these times we live in. I highly recommend you check it out. (It’s a quick read.)

Well try to eat healthy and do something good for our environment and I’ll catch you later!

New World Record Largemouth Bass?

I was reading through some fishing news and this topic caught my eye!

The current IGFA world record largemouth bass weighed 22lbs and 4 oz. The 77-year-old world record bass was caught in June 1932 by George Perry at Montgomery Lake in Georgia. Now apparently someone in Japan caught a fish and had it weighed on certified scales and it was 1 oz more than the current world record. But guess what? It isn’t a new world record!

Bass Masters has the story on this and explains why it’s not a new world record. You can read their article, listen to a discussion and watch a video on the fish and the lucky fellow who caught it by clicking on the “New World Record Largemouth Bass” link below:

New World Record Largemouth Bass

(Editor’s Note: Steve VonBrandt of Delaware Bass Fishing just informed me that he has much more information, photos and videos on the new world record largemouth bass at his website. You can check out his information at:

Enjoy! (Wouldn’t it be nice to catch a world record largemouth?!?)

I’ll catch you later!

For fresh water fishing, what are the best times to go at?

Is their even a certian time fish tend to feed, or just any time during the day?

If you are fishing a lake, it really depends on A: the type of fish (catfish, nighttime; trout; morning or evening; etc.) B: is it raining or sunny? (if it is raining, any time is a good time for trout) and C: how long ago were they planted, if applicable (you usually want to wait anywhere from an hour to a day to let them get acquainted with their new homes).

If you are fishing a river, you will want to monitor your tides. High, outgoing tide is the best time for fishing on the river in my opinion, however, there are a lot of swing moments where the water is not moving at all, this may be a good time for certain types of fish.

Good luck out there.
