Lake Musconetcong Monday

[AVA67]

I decided last night after a winter of crappy Monday (my day off) forecasts I couldn't waste today.

My dad and I hit up Lake Musconetcong again despite not having any reliable intel to go on. Started out with the widest tip up spread we have ever set out (300 yards wide) and then went to work with the jigging rods. Kept moving until we found a few willing biters. Slow day over all, only 5 flags in 4 hours, two dropped baits, one small perch and one pickerel and a 2nd pickerel bite off right at the hole. Jigging produced better numbers but mostly small fish, although we probably had 6 or 7 perch between 10"-12".

Weather was amazing. I actually fished most of the day in a t-shirt and thermal top, no hoodie, no jacket. The way my face is feeling, I also think I might have picked up my first sun burn of the season as well.

After not getting out most of the winter, today was a great spirit lifter.
