Hey Gill Bum where in NY state is Oxford?

I live in Ringwood NJ bordering southeast NY state (Greenwood Lake) is 10 minutes away GW lake straddles NY and NJ.

Hey GB thanks for the reply .Keep in contact .We are not too far from each other and our paths could cross sometime .Ever fish that pond outside the Starlight Inn bed and Breakfast in Hawley? Its got some good Small and Large mouth Bass and Pickerel . Fished it three times and never got skunked and always caught decent specimens!

I keep trying, so far no luck. I have started trying to catch bass as the bluegills aren't biting.  Read the online recommendations about bass. No luck with that either.  Which is why the snake pictures. I do well with snakes. The last snake tried to eat my minnow on the hook. Since I wasn't sure if it was a copperhead, I moved the hook quickly.
