Lake hopatcong kayak...

[njfisherman1975]

Was fishing today in the yak from 11 until 2. Fished the main lake side around brady bridge and ended up with four white perch, one crappie and one small lmb. All fish on a phoebe. Biggest whit perch was 3/4 lb...and he's getting fried up tomorrow. All other fish released. No pickerel at all...which was shocking. Nice to be out on the water again.

Surprised you didn't hit any trout. How was the water ? Was there alot of boat traffic ?

I was shocked too...that's what I was hoping for Andy. Boat traffic under the Brady bridge was constant...but that's where I caught all of the white perch. Right by the channel under the bridge...and they wanted an erratic jigging with the phoebe. Lots of expensive bass boats with their trolling motors...and just me in my orange kayak cruising along! Saw an 8 pound hybrid at dows as soon as I got there. Weighed and released unharmed!
