Oct. 23 is NJ Free Fishing Day: Laurie's Report

Laurie Murphy:

With some cooler weather and less boat traffic, There is still some great fishing going on here at the Lake. We are seeing nice walleye in the 3 to 5 pound range, caught while jigging and also on bait. There are still hybrid stripers being seen, caught off any of the points on Rapala ice jigs, or herring. And lots of white and yellow perch, along with some crappie and we have seen some pickerel in the last few days also. Jim Welsh weighed in with two nice channel cats in the 4 to 5 pound range caught on herring.  The State will be having their second  free fishing day of the year on Oct 23 where no license is required.  It’s the perfect time to try fishing to see if it’s something you like. Have a great week !!!
