Lake Hopatcong

[Broad Bill]

Is it me or does it seem like it's been increasingly windy this year on Lake Hopatcong as well as the water seeming colder. I've found some walleye and hybrids but not nearly the action experienced in past years. The wind has been torturous and appears forecast to be gusty this entire week as well. Is it just my imagination or is anyone else experiencing the same? When the sun goes down, it's like the fan goes on. Some areas where in past the herring run would be in full swing by now seem devoid of surface action.
