Tiger Muskies in Lake Musconetcong ?
15 tiger muskies just stocked into Lake Musconetcong.
I need to confirm this as they just stocked the same lake with 2000 trout !!

Re: Tiger Muskies in Lake Musconetcong ?
Tiger Muskies??? That lake is 5 feet deep at its deepest and 3 feet or less in most spots. Seems like a large fish for that water. Hmmmm....now that I think about it...Do Tiger Muskies eat Carp and Cormorants? If they do then them are gonna be some big Tiger Muskies in about a month!

Re: Tiger Muskies in Lake Musconetcong ?
i am sure there are some muskies in there already....i can see them being washed down from hopatcong.....the stocked fish were only 15"....guesses on the number that survive the herons and cormorants in that skinny water?

Re: Tiger Muskies in Lake Musconetcong ?
The lake was stocked with 53 tiger muskies that were approximately 17" in size as they were holdovers. There will be more stocked in the fall. Based on the stock assessment surveys that the F&W biologists conducted, this should help thin out all the over abundant stunted fish and make the overall population healthier. As for the trout, sure the muskies will get a few but I'm sure way less than the cormorants and other predators get. It's a negligible loss, same way it is in Hopatcong and the other lakes that get both.

Re: Tiger Muskies in Lake Musconetcong ?
pretty sure there is or was a nice sized musky mount in the bait and boat tackle shop that they told me came from that lake years and years ago....might've been a pike i don't remember or know if it's even still up in there.

Re: Tiger Muskies in Lake Musconetcong ?
I just love when they stock Muskies and Trout in the same lake, it really makes good sense.
