musconetcong ice report

[icebadger]

I hit lake Musconetcong today there was 4" of ice on the north side by port Morris. I fished in 4' with not to many weeds to deal with.Drilled 9 holes and only two of them were unfishable with to much weeds to deal with. I started with a 13 fishing magic man 30 in perch pattern then went to a clam tungsten Jig with a ratso body on it. I caught 32 perch and 2 sunnies. The perch ranged from 4" to 11" and only one sunnie was bigger than my hand the other was real small. The fish were active in the morning and as the day progressed the bite slowed down a bit, later on the sun went behind the clouds and the action slowed down. I was out on the cong yesterday and the state park on the right side had 4" as well but there was a lot of sketchy spots so i did not go out to far. This is what i was talking about in a post before the up and down temps are no good for making ice and the days are getting longer form here on out. I hope that i do not have to go out in the canoe again before jig-n-bobber season. I keep thinking that i am in a bad nightmare and i am going to wake up and there is going to be plenty of ice on the lakes
