Mary Elmer Lake (NJ) 5/14

:twisted: 7:15AM-12:45PM Showers, moderate wind, 55-60 air temps, 65 water temp, heavily stained water.
My game plan was to go with soft plastics. I started casting up to the banks with a baby brush hog. Nothing. So I moved in closer and started pitching a 3.5" PTL Texas Rig Jig into heavy cover(pads/brush/wood). Nailed two around wood. Both about 14". Worked an area with heavy cover and managed to pull out another five bass. They were really blasting the TRJ. Missed a few more. Picked up my Redeye setup and casted to open water. BOOM!!!! Got the best of the day, in about 4' of water.

I was wondering how you are rigging your TRJ? Weighted, Pegged with a weight, weightless, Jig head?

I typically have mine on a 3/8oz football jig, but really haven't tried anything else.

TRJ = Texas Rig Jig

It's a new plastic lure out on the market that was started in NJ by Power Team Lures. It's a very addicting lure and works great to get the big bass:
