New Jersey Fishing

Went ultralight jigging in a 60 degree pond across the street from the Trenton Sewage Plant this evening on a warm, cloudy day with a strong west wind. Smelled like excrement. Nobody will go fishing there. Found a dead feral goldfish floating on the pond. Caught and released 10 black crappies to 9”, 5 bluegills to 8” and 3 male yellow perch to 10” with a 1/32 oz green twister tail jig on 2 lb test line. Two beavers 🦫 were nearby. Took pictures and made a video. Saw a bowfin bigger than the state record Saturday evening but it’s too big for my 2 lb test line. Looks like 60 degrees is the magic number for good ultralight jigging. https://youtube.com/shorts/ZN7O5n_V90w?si=a8GhzFgFmlGgE1Bj

Looks like you did have a good day. Our 30+ mph winds kept every fishermen I know home yesterday. With it being 16° right now at 4:30 a.m. with only 50° by six this afternoon I'm not sure if it's going to happen today either.
But as you so often say, Nice! 🙃🎣

Thanks for taking us on your fishing trip. We had snow flurries off and on all day, here in Michigan.

Nice bands, we’re still in the mid 40’s with the water temps, the pickerel are willing but not much else. This week’s weather is not going to heat up the water, will actually cool it down a bit.
