There is a lot of grass in the lake, a topwater frog would be good for bass. The bluegill are average size, a popeye/waxworm combo works well. The crappie run small in the lake, but it has a good population of channel cat. This is a pretty good lake for a family outing, you should have no trouble getting some action. It is also a clean, well kept recreational area!

I fish Jericho quite often. My son and I took home 31 crappie today and cought several decent bass yesterday (5/22/2010). I'll agree with Bassin Bruce a popeye wax worm combo or small tube wax worm combo...either way you won't go wrong. If your fishing from the bank, I wouldn't expect to see any size on the gills. The crappie seem to run consistently small and plentiful so any bank should work. However the point at the ramp seems to be a pretty good spot. My son always throws a jig while I'm getting the boat ready and usually buckets a few crappie before we get started

Redworms and a cork will work also!
