Fished the bridge today and ended with two perch and one crappie. Tossed fatheads and small jigs. Guy fishing off of the docks caught a few as well. Very windy on the main lake side so fished the northern part of the bridge. Beautiful day out and didn't get skunked!

I'm going to hit it up tomorrow in my boat. What ramps are open near the River Styx Bridge right now? My brother called and Lee's isn't open yet. I'm not very familiar with it obviously.

i was from shore in a crowded southern cove wednesday, crappies were coming in regularly. i had tried musconetcong earlier and got nothing. same thing as the guy above described, i could see a ton of fish sunning themselves but unwilling to bite.

I have emailed with BD a ton of times and never met each other. By pure luck...we were fishing within shouting distance and never introduced ourselves.

Had a great time yesterday. We ended with catching 60+ crappies. Mostly on small rapala husky jerk and rebel ghost minnows or fat heads under a bobber fishing weed beds in 5' of water.

When your tired of panfish and when you throw Perch pattern baits the slime darts are on fire...

I don't mind catching pickerel either. As long as they don't cut my line and I lose a lure catching them. I can deal with them after some crappies and perch
