Great info jimmy.......Thank you! I have the power drive with ipilot.....spotlock is awesome. I use it a lot on PA. Lakes when I net bait.

I have been told not to bother with LH after 9am in the summer, but I never new that weeds were such an issue. Maybe I'll wait til september to hit it up.

Re: Spruce Run hybrids 7/21/13
 

Maybe we need to do a meet and greet at LH in the fall??? Say late Sept....we could do a multi species deal there for sure. Just a thought but what a great place with plenty of space, a type of fish for everyone here, and if timed right not many other people on the water.

What say you?

if ur doin good at SR keep on the place and master it. the fall up here is killer, like Getanet said its priceless, see his avatar pic? haha thats his monster in the back of my little boat we killed em that day too. And I had the same problem for the first time last weekend w herring, they have soft lips/faces all of a sudden even tho they looked healthy, I lost a bunch getting stolen from my hooks and a bunch dieing quick for no reason, theres absolutely no hint of a thermocline yet on LH. All the herring u guys are using comes from laurie at dows its LH bait. And Kcritch we talked about it last year but never did it, for sure this year we will. Come late september into october the thermocline is off the lake once it turns and its hybrids, eyeballs galore, even a muskie if you put some time in ;)

Kcritch, sounds like a great idea!!! Lake Hopatcong Hybrids in the Fall!!!!
Yea baby!!!!! I'm a little disappointed in the fact that alot of the meet
& greets are so far north. I know a lot of the crew is from up that way but this could be a little more accessible to us guys in central and a little further south. Great lake plenty of room and tons of fish if you want to run it or help with it let me know cause you got it!!!! I think a lot of members would be interested in it... What do you think ??? WHO is potentially interested is it??? It's like a disease once you catch one your infected for life!!!!!!

Re: Spruce Run hybrids 7/21/13
 

OK for sure.....I'm out of town this weekend but I'll put up a post next week and suggest some dates. In the meantime if anyone has any suggestions or wants to help out with it let me know. Jimmy you are disignated as technical consultant for sure.

Re: Spruce Run hybrids 7/21/13
 

sometime in October is best, its a ways away but there are only a few pleasure boats out there and its safe for the yak and small boat crews, plus the lake turns by mid oct and the fish are all out in deeper water headed to their wintering grounds. Thats when the true beauty of LH comes out, the hybrids, eyeballs, muskie and pretty much everything else is on the herring out in deep water down deep, and u rly dont know whats on the end of your line unless u have experience w how the fish acts when hooked, otherwise its pot luck til u get a glimpse of it boatside.
