Re: Shut out on Lake Hopatcong
the bite has been off for about 4 days now, that side of the lake has gotten cloudy from the rain run off. the wind also blew around a bunch of debris and stirred the water up. switch to darker jigs and extend the distance from your bobber to let the jig go deeper. the lake is full now and the warmer days will bring the temp up some, the shallow water will warm first and the coves that are sheltered from the wind will be your best bet. hopefully things will get better as we go into spring and the bigger fish move in to spawn. we had good fish in the shallows around the 11th of feb then cold temps froze the lakes shallow water again and the fishing has slowed down.
