Alloway Lake (New Jersey) 9/21

[fish devil]

:twisted: 7:30-1:30 Sunny, moderate wind, 50-78 air temps, 69-74 water temps, stained water. This is my second trip to this SJ public lake. The bait fish(shad) were breaking all over the lake. Worked the deeper area near the spillway first. Started on top with a buzzbait, then to a liplesss crank and finally to a SK 10+ crank. Nothing. Picked up my jig setup and headed to the wood. That was the right move. I ended up catching six bass spread throughout the lake with a 3/8 oz. Booyah jig/zoom chunk. All fish were TIGHT to wood. One real good one at 5lb 2oz., another decent one and the rest around 12". (Check back for more reports this week.)

WTG - I love how you pull those pigs out on the jig in those shallow lakes. Bet those bass have seen 1000 senko type baits and spinner baits but very few jigs with trailers

Way to go FD, I see it still has the "water meal" A couple buddies went last Friday and landed 30 bass, heavest 2 lb, shows me it is a great fishery and hasnt lost a lick since it was down, all fish were caught on traps.
