Got into a dozen or so yellow perch today along with the occasional sunny. None very big but I did catch my record smallest perch yet at just over 3 inches.

      yeah pretty sad. no one is addressing it...no clue what happened. my first big fish anywhere was a channel cat out of hopatcong, 14.5lbs. since then i have caught ...more ZERO channel cats there. it's been years!

      Yea I agree 100% believe me I've looked at a lot of your catches you def know your way around fish. Sadly I've found the same thing this year got maybe two ...more dozen cats this year so far and everyone was a bull head with the biggest just over 1 and half pounds lol pretty weak to say the last

      past couple of years i believe were like this. arty and i placed 5th and 6th with bullheads...that's shouldn't happen haha. only a 3 channels caught total ...more by 49 contestants, not good. 8 is a nice one, don't get me wrong, but the numbers aren't there anymore it would seem, unless just no one can figure them out. If you want nice cats, cong is not the place i would fish haha.

      Ya I was wondering if there was any quantity of big cats in hopatcong that seems to verify the numbers are very limited. The Kdc results do speak volumes. 1st was ...more 8lbs this year and almost all the rest were under 2lbs so that definitely confirms what your saying. Thanks for the information

      Not on lake hopatcong. Take them to the river though. Cong sucks for catfish just look at the past few years results Kdc catfish contests.

      I was wondering if they would make decent catfish bait. I've been throwing small back hooked bluegills and larger blue gills cut in half but haven't had ...more any luck yet. Then again I'm strictly going off all the reading I've done not sure if I'm even fishing em right.
