Laurie Murphy:
Open Water season has begun … We are now open for boat
rentals, along with bait & tackle. Trout season is closed now but will open
early on April 1st for catch and release only until April 10th. Water temps
range from 46 degrees n the main lake to 58 degrees in the shallows. Focus your
efforts on sandy bottoms and structure in the backs of the coves where you will
find the warmer waters. Aaron Graybill of Lake Hopatcong Guide Service reported
great fishing all week for crappie and yellow perch. Fatheads, small shiners,
mini mites, rufus junior hair jigs and small Rapala husky jerks will work well.
Plenty of chain pickerel are being caught and some of the first largemouth bass
were landed this week. Max Hughen of Hopatcong NJ is catching his fair share of
nice yellow perch and pickerel. The Knee Deep Club will be stocking their trout
in the next week or so and will be holding their Trout & Pickerel Contests
on Sunday, April 18th 2021. Have a great week !
