Night Walleye Questions
 

I'm trying to cross Walleye off my list and was thinking of dropping my boat in Swartswood Friday for some evening/night fishing (its just a 14' jon boat, so unless the weather is perfect I'm not sure I want to put it in Hopatcong). Can I get a few tips on what lures to bring with me and what I should be looking for on the lake?

When I had my 14ft boat lake hopatcong is the only lake I would use at night and never really had a problem at all. Big rapalas and listen for bait fish jumping.

Use jigs for the walleyes they love attacking those lures.

agreed.. The only thing better than a jig for walleyes is a jig with a lip hooked minnow, or a jig with a night crawler... bob

How are you pushing that Jon Boat?

6hp gas motor if im out on hopatcong. It does its job pretty nicely in most of the other lakes around here. I have a 15 as well but it needs some work.
