Thumbs up Hopatcong 4/26

Fished the big lake from 230-10 pm yesterday. Very nice day on the lake with not many people out. From 230-6 I chucked assorted Musky lures hoping for a MONSTER but struck out. Changed over to some smaller stuff to get my lines tight again. Came up with 10 pickerel, 1 LM and 4 big crappie between 6-815. Night falls and it got rather cold as soon as that sun went down. The lake was a ghost town. Started chucking some of my night EYE lures and had a good 1 on at 845, but came unbuttoned. 5 minutes later, another Walleye on and landed. Nice little 23 inch Eye, maybe around 4 lbs, real wide shoulders. Released the eye and kept casting, bite shut down, cold north wind was eating me up. Managed 1 more fish at 930, digging, fighting like a champ. I thought maybe it was a WIPER, not to be, but a big BUCKETMOUTH. LM measured 20 inches and definitely weighed 5 lbs, fat belly. Heres a couple pics. Sorry no pics of the SLIME DARTS for the SLIME DART LOVERS!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!
