Default Open Water?

Looking ahead to the forecasted 50 degree days this weekend. I'm hoping at least to get out in the kayak, possibly a buddy's boat if possible. Anyone drive passed or know of any open water in NNJ?

Pompton Lake?
Greenwood?
Wawayanda?
South/Dam side Monksville?

Pompton had some open water. If greenwood is open waywayanda will be open and vice versa. If u look at my Facebook page from last weekend u can see hopatcong had open water by Brady so I would assume most lakes are open or opening up

Did you happen to see the area near the boat ramp?

Sorry Rob...was not down by the dock area by Dows if that's what you are talking about. All of the docks at the marinas by Brady Bridge were wide open...there was no ice anywhere near there. If you call Dows, I am sure Laurie could give you an ice report.

Up Rt. 23 I think it depends a lot on location. I got my 2013 Newark Watershed permits yesterday and stopped by Echo and Clinton and they are both still ice'd over - only a little melted at the edges.

I banked fished the Doty Rd bridge last week. The water is all open from the Potash spillway downstream to the causeway, but i don't know what the north coves look like on the lake. I might be down that way tonight.

Cool, keep me posted if you can. I did well there last year early season with Crappie in the coves.

I drove up along the west side of Greenwood Lake this past weekend. There was some open water along the shoreline, but most of the lake was still covered with ice. People were out ice fishing on the east side of Pine Island, and up in the NY end out in front of that waterfront park.
I think you can cross Greenwood Lake off your list for a couple more weeks Rob.
