Looking for some help with crappie fishing on lake hopatcong.
Questions: Around what date is the best time to start? Does it matter what time of the day (am/pm daytime)? What kind of bait do you use? Where are the best locations on the lake to fish from land? I appreciate any help. Thank you. |

The time to fish is NOW!
The water is still a little cold so afternoons are working better.(fish till dark). Small jigs (1/64 to 1/32 oz) under a small float work well.As for live bait, fathead minnows on a size 6 longshank hook with a small splitshot and float is just deadly. Try fishing the back of the small coves in the northern end of the lake. |

small jig heads with a white culy tail fished under a bobber twitch let sit and keep doing that or a fat head i usally dont use a split shot you want it swimming just at the weeds to deep and yull get caught in them and lose alot of fat heads __________________ ubnj member
