I want to move to the green mountains
Just moved to deep south NJ near the Tuckahoe and Mullica watersheds, pretty far from southeastern PA streams and NJ skylands streams I try to make it out to as much as I can. Started saltwater fly fishing for the first time this year, didnt make it up to IBSP or land any stripers or weakies but caught and released some nice big American Shad. With striper season over I was wondering if any of you guys ever went out to catch perch on the fly rod, I have tied some pink and white bucktails and pink crazy charlies, thinking of getting some grass shrimp and taking the kids out (i have five boys) with spinning gear to catch some. My family doesnt eat meat except for fish so it would be nice to catch a bunch of perch. I heard you can catch them as early as January in collins cove in the Mullica but I dont own a boat nor dare to bring my kids out on some river ice. Anybody on hear fly fish south jersey tidal creeks?
