Default Re: How Did You Get Into Fishing?

Yeah Lab, I remember those days very well. Bertrands Island amusement park was the place to be in the summer time. I also remember all of the pontoon boats that were on the lake. Back then the lake was used mostly for pleasure cruising. I believe that it is the largest lake in NJ, but the crazy boat traffic on the summer weekends has really changed the landscape.
My uncle was a chief in the Hopatcong FD...and I recall the firemans picnic every summer at Nolan's Point. Man...those were the days.

If anyone here fishes Lake Hopatcong this summer, I would really like to see some reports posted here. Even with all the traffic, it is still a great lake !
