Big Swartswood All-Nighter

[Skunk City]

With every boat owning person is the state going to the big lakes for the 4th, we decided a ride to Swartswood would be a better choice. Grabbed 4 dozen herring from Dow's and headed up to Sussex County. Got on the water just as the sun was going down. Played with herring and jigs all night and had relatively consistent action. Ended up with a total of 4 Walleye 20"-24", lots of Catfish and Crappie and a few big Eels mixed in. Overall decent night. Happy Independence Day.

Nice Report Along With Pics

Great fish, pics and report!!! If you can't catch a Walleye at Swartswood, it just wasn't meant to be. Swartswood is a Walleye aquarium!!!

You guys got it right by fishing overnight because the bite has been slower than normal lately when we have been out.....nice report and way to get em good

I love night fishing man, less boat traffic, less fisherman, more peaceful and most of the time more fish. I believe there was one other boat out on the water, but he was setup on the complete opposite end of the lake as us. Seeing sunrise and sunset from the boat is something everyone in this overcrowded, shopping mall obsessed state should experience at least once in their lives!

Looking quite focused in the 3rd pic buddy. Looks like your in the ZONE!!! There was a ton of Walleye caught at Swartswood during the contest 2 weeks ago. Great Lake, love it!

Nice fish man. I'd love to catch a walleye. Was thinking about hitting one of the smartswood lakes next weekend. Is little smartswood decent? Smallies in there?
