Little Swarts Sat 8/10

[kcritch]

I've been itchin to hit this lake since the meet and greet that I missed so headed out at o'dark thirty with the wife on Sat... an hour drive and on the water by 6:15. First off we were the only boat on the lake until about 8:30 when one other boat showed up...then another at around noon and that was it for the day....that don't happen often in NJ! Anyway managed a pretty good day with 8 LMB (Me 7 the wife one ) Largest was 3.5 lbs all others between 1 to 2lbs. All came on a weightless 5" Stiko Green Pumpkin in 8 to 15 feet of water. Either just off the outside edge of the lily pads or just inside the first break in them. Took a while to figure out what they wanted (threw everything from top to bottom) most fish bit after 9:30 until about 1. Off the water at two. Had to work a little but not a bad day considering. Had something hit a 1/2 oz swimming jig in 20 feet of water...peeled drag like it was a baitrunner for a few seconds then "snip" it was gone...big toothy maybe? Felt like a train.

Will definitely go back there again. Here's a pic of the biggest one.
