Went ultralight jigging in 62 degree Turnmill Pond this evening on a warm, sunny day with a strong west wind. Five boats were there. I caught and released 2 yellow perch with a 1/8 oz twister tail jig on 4 lb test line. I probably won’t return to that spot until next year because of the weeds. Saw Adult bald eagles 🦅, osprey, a hawk, vultures, Canada geese, turtles 🐢 and too many people.

Some beautiful colors on your perch. To bad about the weeds. Are there any large mouth bass there that might jump up through the weeds to grab a weedless frog being drug across the top? That's always a beautiful catch.

Yes, I caught a nice bass there this year. After the water warms up next month, I’ll try bluefishing in Manasquan Inlet and carping in a few spots. Most days this spring have been cloudy, cold, windy or rainy here in NJ, and it has been my worst fishing 🎣 year in more than 70 years.
