Laurie's latest Lake Hopatcong report:

There is still ice on Lake Hopatcong, anywhere from 6 to 8 inches.  You will need to watch some shorelines that have refroze after opening up from the rain or a dock bubbler. Access to the lake from our dock is still okay.  Fishing was somewhat slower over the past weekend, but several fish did make their way to the scale, or the frying pan. Some perch and pickerel were caught, along with a 4 pound largemouth bass caught by Adik Ackerman and a 2 lb smallmouth caught by Lou Marcucci. Kyle Macrae had several nice fish with a large pickerel, a 2 lb smallmouth,  several nice large yellow perch and some walleye.  The Knee Deep Club’s next ice fishing contest is set for February 11th., as long as the ice remains good. We are still well stock with all the  ice fishing tackle and bait you’d need for a day on the ice and we are open from 6 AM to 6 PM,  seven days a week. Have a great week !
