Delaware River Muskies?

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about muskie fishing this spring, I've never caught one. I've read there are some in the tidal Delaware and its tributaries, like the Rancocas Creek. However, whenever I read a muskie forum, all of the best locations are up north: Greenwood Lake, Monksville Reservoir, Lake Hopatcong. I'd like to find something closer (I live in Cherry Hill). Would fishing the Rancocas or Big Timber Creek for muskie be worth it, Or a waste of time?

Thanks!

If you go on the NJ fish and game website, find a lake you're interested in, it should tell you what kind of fish are in it. They used to have that info. I haven't checked in awhile. Good luck

Thanks, but it just says the delaware river is a good location.. all of the other lakes are too far from me.

I agree with SJA go to the NJ Fish & Game site for great fishing info in the state. Here are some direct links.

Thanks for the info, everyone! I had no idea they were in cooper river park lake, but does anyone know if they're in the rancocas or big timber? Thanks.

Sorry, but I'm tapped out on info for the areas you are interested in. I haven't fished the areas and I haven't heard of anyone reporting that they caught muskies there either. So I guess there are no muskies, but I counld be wrong. Anthing is possible. Good luck.

Greenwood lake is loaded with Muskie. Saw a ton around the island. The Passaic river has a good pop. of pike, people catch giants in there around great meadows section. Good like!
