Rock Outcrop

Left of the dam, ~200 yrds, just past small pond on the right, there's a rock outcrop to the right. Lots of vegitation, so we pulled in lots of weeds also.

Pompton Lakes Bass near Oakland

Pompton Lakes Bass

Big lake, Ramapo river runs into it and you can get your boat into the river a good mile where it turns into a smaller pond before you can't go any further with your boat. Lots of structure to fish. Nice Bass, trout,Pike, Perch. Did a night fishing trip here once and got a 6 lb catfish. Night fishin is tough on us old folks..
