Default Re: Lake Hopatcong Help.

the next few weeks the perch/walleyes/crappie are spawning. U will find them in the channels by the bridges and any rocky areas shallow. Small husky jerks and anything that looks like a herring works good. Live herring is great too, LH supplies most of the state with its herring, its a huge food source and makes it tough on lures there. As the weather warms up 15-25 FOW off the main lake points is a good start to use herring for stipers and other game fish. Once you search for a while and find a school of bait or good size baitball stay with them, the stripes and teeth will be around them and under them, nothing like wipers on the big lake
