Lure/bait choice for NJ trout opener

[Ol Pedro]

Planning to hit Prospertown for trout opener. Thinking of soaking powerboat because of the 8:00 start time. Micro castmasters the rest of the season at dawn/dusk. I was wondering what others will be throwing/soaking.

i got PA opener trout on black marabou jigs, some smaller ones about an 1+1/2 long overall. Got them to hit it on the fall in a large hole. Id get some similar slow falling jig like a trout magnet

Rooster tail or Johnson Min-O-Spin

+1 for the trout magnet.

I use mine on a float - White and pink always seem to catch em..

I've been having great luck this week with red or brown rooster tails, single hook...

Home made spinner for me, it's sort of a tradition!

Funny what doesn't work one day may work the next.

Had about 2 hours to go out Saturday and 2 hrs Sunday. Both days throwing a simple white/silver rooster tail and a pink trout magnet with a split shot without a float.

Nothing in the afternoon heat on Saturday, 2 rainbows and a sunny on Sunday in the rain. Tried a mousetail after my trout magnet got snagged and the bite was already off for me

D&R Canal in Ewing / West Trenton, same area both days.

Didn’t get a bite on corn in Prospertown this evening. Caught and released a pickerel with a jig.
