Smaller Lakes and pond in North Jersey

[jimmi413]

I've hit the streams and smaller lakes and have gotten my stockie fishing fix for the year. Now that its out of the way, its time to move to the real spring fishing! Due to the colder weather we were having I had been frequenting mostly smaller Lakes and ponds in hopes the water temp was a little better and found moderate success every where I went. Plenty of crappie, trout, perch, small bass and pickerel. Most of my consistent catches were with tube jigs "very under rated around here!" Had great days in coves on Lake Hopatcong, Furnace Lake, Cranberry Lake, Green Turtle Pond, and Jefferson Pond. I know there is plenty more great spots in Northern Jersey so let me know where your luck has been. I am particularly interested in knowing where the Big bass are hitting!? Of course all advice or fun conversation is welcome too.
