The North Jersey Kayak Bass Fishing Club (NJKBFC) held Stop #7 of the 2026 Trail Series on Sunday (9/12) at Swartswood Lake. It was a beautiful day, with 19 anglers in attendance.
The skies were overcast and the winds were mild with great expectations from the start. But the fish had something else in mind. It was a tough bite all day for everyone with only 35 bass caught and only one 5-fish limit put on the board.
Leading the pack with 5 bass in First place was Greg Polec with 87.00". Coming in Second place with 4 bass was Michael Kovalovsky with 61.25". And completing the top 3 in Third place with 3 bass went to Jeff Niebanck with 50.75". Taking the Lunker prize this time was Greg Polec with his giant beast coming in at 21.00".
Congratulations to the top leaders, and everyone who attended to grind it out. The fish may not have wanted to cooperate, but it was a beautiful day to be on the water.
The next stop to the 2026 Trail Series season will be at Lake Hopatcong on Sunday September 27th, which should be another day filled with lots of largemouth and smallmouth.
