Good Day on Hopatcong

[catfishonthelake]

I fished the KDC walleye tourney today and wound up with a nice mixed bag. I caught 2 largemouth (one dink and a nice chunk), a big perch, 2 hefty bullheads, a slammer pickerel, a 4.5-pound walleye and 4-pound hybrid. The walleye was sitting in 3rd place in the contest when we got off the lake, but it probably won't stay there until 2pm tomorrow when the contest ends. All fish came on live herring on slip bobbers and a down rod while double-anchored. Beautiful day out there, clouds, not too much wind, nice and cool and a significant lack of yahoooos. This is without question the best lake in NJ.......if you know how to fish it.
