Gonna give the lower BFB another shot this Saturday morning. Anyone heading up there this weekend?

 

[JerseyFJ40]

I'll be up there turkey hunting... I may try a few hours of fishing after that, depending on how the hunting is.

 

[DBuck]

It's supopsed to rain like the Hounds from Hell This weekend.

 

[imb21]

Jjoe where are you going fishing? Would love to go if it is some what near me

 

[JJoe]

Fj40 I'll save ya few

D..I know but the stream fishing in the rain beats the boat fishing in the rain. I gotta get out.[up]

Lower Flat brook imb21[cool]

 

[JerseyFJ40]

If the turkeys are shut lipped like they were last saturday, I'm gonna bag that early and hit the stream. JJoe, what part of the lower flatbrook? Maybe I'll link up with you. Normally, I hit the area just north of old mine bridge (just before the deleware river). I'll be driving a green F150 with a cap on the back.

 

[JJoe]

I'm in the same area FJ.. I usually start up by the old dam a mile up the road and then work my way down. I'm in the tan superduty. See ya there.

 

[JerseyFJ40]

Cool, what time you getting up there... I'll be up there about 5ish hoping to nab one o' dem lil' buggers early. Then I'll hit the stream.

 

[JJoe]

I'm there at first light. I usually fish till 10:30 or so...

 

[JerseyFJ40]

I'll see if I can catch up with you.[up]

 

[JJoe]

Is copper mine rd open all the way up through?

 

[JerseyFJ40]

I don't know the names of all the roads up there... I know where they go, just don't know the names. I know the one running along the brook was closed for a while (think it's called brook road) but don't know if it still is.

 

[JJoe]

The last exit off of 80 thats runs through worthington and the forest..It was closed last year..I've been going through Blairstown..

 

[HunterSQ2]

JJOE.. do you mean Old Mine RD? If so, I heard that parts are still closed, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[JJoe]

yes....thats it SQ... I'll just go the back way to be safe.

 

[imb21]

would love to go with you guys if someone can tell me where to go and what time???????????? remember i am not fimiliar with jersey so a landmark helps

 

[JerseyFJ40]

JJoe, I got out of the woods around 10 yesterday. I drove the strip of road I expected you to be on and didn't see you... oh well, next time. How did you make out? I got one but I had issues with my rod so quit early.

 

[DBuck]

heh heh....He said "I had issues with my rod" Heh heh

 

[JerseyFJ40]

heh heh....He said "I had issues with my rod" Heh heh

Alright, before this one gets outta hand...

I bought a new trout rod recently and this was the first time I had it out. I landed on fish with it. Then got hung up on the bottom... and with almost no effort, snapped the line by just bending the rod. I figured it was a fluke so I continued... got hung up again and snapped my line again. WTF? I figured it was bad line but I continued undaunted... and hooked a fish... and snapped my line again. All three snaps where close to the reel. So I looked at the eyelits and one is chipped on the inside. Needless to say, I returned the rod.[mad]

 

[JJoe]

Hey Fj,,,managed 15 bows. I got out of there a little before 10....Average size fish. One was at 14..I kept him and 3 others...Not many guys up at all.
