Figured this would be the best place for this. Anyhow, names Jay, been living in the Mt. Pleasant area all my life but haven't been that gung ho about fishing. My interests switched from computers to the great outdoors about a year ago. Hunting, shooting, hiking, and generally just being outside took the place of my Computers and my video-games.
Anyhow, I printed out the DEP car tag and permit, visited Mt. Pleasant town hall on my lunch break from work and grabbed myself a fishing license, took a drive and found Wades (3 minutes from my job) and I'm pretty much all set if I can find my rod, reel and tacklebox. When I was a kid I used to go fishing about once a year, when the Leith's Pond fishing derby would come up. 4 years in a row I managed to win biggest fish and most fish so I guess I was doing something right. But when the age limit caught up to me I just kinda stopped fishing. I would go with my grandfather to his "spot" and spend the day fishing with him. We would always catch something but it was more the time sitting and watching as things happened around you, birds, insects, even the occasional field mouse that would run right up to you and quickly backtrack when he finally noticed you there.
Grandfather passed away awhile ago, I can still remember hanging the wreath there on the fence of his "Secret Fishing Hole". Would be nice to see if it was still there or not, don't think it will be but stranger things have happened.
Anyway, major question I have, is there anyplace on the Kensico Reservoir that you're not allowed to fish from shore? Place my grandfather used to take me has some old buildings that look like they aren't used by the water department anymore but I wouldn't want to get in trouble for something like that.
Love the website by the way, really gave me some information to take in while I was at work. Called my boss and told him I was taking April First off allready so good luck to everyone.
