Thanks for the help, I landed my first jig fish a few weeks ago. Nothing to it, still working on my flipping and pitching, but it's coming along quickly. Boy is a jig bite fun....

Not local to you, but also in NJ. Check out the states pocket ranger guide app. Shows plenty of public fisheries, with some info on size of the waters, species, and maps.

I suppose I should have included it separately but I do fish worms/Senkos. Learned those in the spring, T-rigged weighted and weightless.

Thanks, looks like the vote is just about unamious....

I'm still new to fishing, only my second year. I'm comfortable fishing cranks, spinners, and T-rigs and I'm looking for my next technique, something useful for the quickly approaching fall. What should I learn next? Have been considering Jigs and Carolina rigs, and I am bank fishing local lakes in South Jersey. Is there something else maybe worthwhile for fall and tips for getting started with your suggested technique? Thanks, Dblj44

Had the same thing this past Saturday, 2 eyes but a big red spot under the jaw. Caught it on the second cast in the morning, left to run an errand, caught it again on the same lure after coming back about 2 hours later. Showed a guy standing near by, the pic I had taken in the morning after grabbing him the second time.

I've had great reaction with the live target crank baits. A bit more expensive than I'd like, but the bite helps ease the pain (got my first in an MTB box).

Welcome.

That's how I found the site. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Started fishing about a month ago, figuring things out as I go.
