spruce run
 

fished the run from 6pm to 3am no expecting to much due to high dirty water
started out ok with a few stripers here and there at about 12am went to a spot that i always do good at but found no bait in water fished there only to catch some big catfish, biggest crappie i have ever seen and to my suprise a fresh water eel about 3 feet long. moved to other side of lake to only catch catfish . never found any good readings of bait !! hopefully water clears and fish come back!!!!!!!

Good report, thanx !

Re: spruce run
 

Thanks for the report. I like hearing about Spruce Run Hybrids. I've been out a half dozen times this year and only got 4 [all returned] so any info to help me do better would be greatly appreciated. Just joined the forum but have been hanging out for a couple months. Just started fishing again after a 15 year lay off.

Thanks again Phil

+100 for bringing back the fishing. Welcome and don't be afraid to post your reports. Chances are they'll help someone in some way or another!

DITTO...Fall is my usual time to head there and I was wondering how the lake was doing.

I guess it is at full pool?

Re: spruce run
 

Anyone know when the night bite for the hybrids usually lasts until?

Re: spruce run
 

We caught some in late November on Lake Hopatcong jigging for walleye during the day. The KDC website actually shows some being caught through the ice !

i'm looking for more of the night time surface bite and i know my days are numbered for the year.

Went to Spruce run tonight and drifted Herring 8 to 14 foot down in the middle out from the boat rental dock from about 5 to 7:30. Not a nible so I'm guessing the bite might be over. I sure hope not I really like catching those hybrids and will probably give it a couple more tries just to be sure.
