We gotta get rid of this lousy ice so we can switch gears....  If it isn't good enough to stand on, who needs it?

Hey Mike,
I like Greenwood for trolling and Echo for casting, only fished Monksville and Hopatcong once each last year. Plan to fish Both more this season.

Greenwood all the way

Same here, greenwood for trolling and live bait and echo for casting...

Have only had the oppurtunity to target them at Monksville and Mountain lake through the ice this winter but am defiantly looking forward to trying both places as well as Greenwood in the spring.

Trolling with big jerkbaits on Lake Hopatcong .   I love that place!!  I would fish Greenwood Lake,  but that's almost 2hr drive for me. but i'm sure it's just as good if you time it right..                                 J.

1st would have to go to Monksville next would have to go to mountain (because it's only 20mins from my house) than Greenwood and than Hopatcong.
Don't know what it is about Echo but it didn't even make my list because I just don't like it
Good hunting, Jeff

the topwater fishing at echo is second to none.....where else in jersey can you go and have 10  - 15 follows a day........

[MikeThePike]

I think the reason Echo Lake would be so good is due to the fact you need to get a permit to fish it and most people don't wanna have to mail out for one.
