Casting and blasting have been paying off caught a few nice walleyes in greenwood lake 6lbs was the biggest also got a 5lbs hybrid striper awesome fighting fish those hybrids fright great

One of the hardest fighting fish in f/w in my opinion...hopefully we get some decent weather this weekend and I'll finally get out after them  ;D ;D   and if they aren't biting I guess I'll have to settle for a limit of eyes

What can I say, Hopac has spoiled me the past few years  ;D ;D

Word and evidence has it that you ought to do well at Hopat for BOTH, Walleyes and Wipers. Some hot night fishing for them there now. Heard the Walleyes were non-stop action.

I am not sure, the hybrid striper was caught in what lake? I know there are H-birds in Hopatcong, I did not know any were in Greenwood, which your post seems to imply. Please clarify this. Thanks.

I know a few guys who have gotten into them on Greenwood. No where near the numbers of them as in Hopac but they are in there (and Skunksville too  ;) )

My buddies been sending me pics for a few weeks now. The only thing that has kept me off the past few weekends was the weather. Don't feel like driving 50 miles to potentially get hit with t-storms in an aluminum boat  :-\ :-\

nice fat clinton brown . i like your setup old school with the strike guard on the rod  i got the same rod holders too. ...
not getting the permit this year money is tight but i can still get out for some trout on wawayanda. most of my summer fishing is on UGL.

Pretty sure they were using jerk baits, artificials, not live bait!! If you watch webguys recent vids on LH catching wallys and wipers they were using artificials too!! Fishing was closer to shore too!

To date I have 1 wiper on herring and 2 eyes....on artificials I lost count of how many limits of each  ;)   During the day its the exact opposite, atleast for me  ;) 

Its the only lake I've ever had constant success for eyes throwing topwater after dark but my go to baits are any type of shallow running stickbait worked SLOW! As slow as you can work them seems to produce best but its also a ton of fun working a zara spook fast and hearing multiple fish blow up on them  ;D ;D    I'm still amazed in all the hours myself and the guys I fish with have logged after dark we still have not hooked a single musky  ??? ???
