Default Re: Lake Hopatcong

Alex thanks for the reply, well thought out and pretty much what I've been seeing. Fished an area two consecutive nights over the weekend I've done very well at in past years this time of year. First night the water was colder and it was windy and the second night the water warmed up and it was flat calm. First night no signs of herring or surface action whatsoever, second night herring moved in at dusk with a few explosions which I believe were hybrids. Thought it was game on. Both nights not one walleye. Both nights I got one hybrid, (of all things on a lit jig and bobber no less) lot of crappy, white perch, yellow perch, rock bass and a few small mouths for about a 2-hour window and then like a switch they turned off. The second night I thought it was going to be game on as everything was coming together and it just never materialized and then went totally dead around 10:00. Just very strange compared to past years.
