The entire lake had recently been drained, and it was real shallow. There might have been some carp towards the middle f the lake where it was slightly deeper, but I couldn't get there, because the lake bottom was entirely silt and mud. I sank down to my thighs in some places, the I had to take my feet out, then reach in and grab my shoes.
The upside, however, is that I found a rocky area where the lake dumps into the creek that had plenty of micros. There was multiple species, but I only managed to catch one specimen of one species in the 2 hours that I fished. The majority of them ignored the bait and were spooked so I couldn't reach them with my 7 ft cane pole.
The one species, however, was a Banded Killifish, and a trophy one at that!
Okay, trophy may not be the best choice of words, but from what I saw, this was a beast of an Banded Killifish!
There you have it, folks! Species #44 and a check of the NJ species list!
