Topo Graphs for NJ Lakes?

[JVO]

Hey guys, been reading a lot about topo charts recently and I've been trying to find some detail ones for the lakes and reservoirs up in northern jersey (monksville, echo lake, and the other Newark watershed lakes).

I reviewed the NJ Wildlife website, http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/lakemaps.htm, but their maps aren't very detailed.

I also downloaded the Navionics app on my iphone, but it also wasn't as detailed as I was hoping. Was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a hold of a decent map or if their is a website with a database that has some.

unfortunately, you've pretty much exhausted your options as far as ready made maps go. let us know if you find anything else.

A few local bait shops carry decent maps of Greenwood, Monksville and Hopatcong. Ramsey Outdoor carries above average ones of Hopatcong and GWL.

There is a book that contains 100+ topo maps of NJ lakes, but its been out of production for a few years and is pretty rare. I actually found a copy at the Sportsmen's show a few months ago and jumped on it. If there are any lakes in particular you are need, PM me and I can email them to you.

I've found the Navionics app to be pretty spot-on with the lakes it does have. Helped me tremendously over the winter vertical jigging the deeper water structure at GWL.
