Lake Lefferts in Matawan
 

With the trout stocked lakes/rivers closed I have been trying a few local spots. I heard Lake Lefferts in Matawan was supposed to have pretty good bass and pickerel. I fished from the shoreline a few times. I tried throwing spinners, white grubs, rattle traps, and rubber worms but have not had any luck. Does anybody have any lure suggestions that may work better for this spot.

Go small. Try an 1/16- 1/8 ounce jighead with a white mister twister. Add a float 18-24 inches above the jig. Reel in slow and twitch once in a while. All fish will hit this set up.

it gets hammered, a lot of kids and families try fishing there all summer. Ive seen people kayak fish it from the restaurant view. The whole time i wouldnt see anyone catch fish.

I would go there to catch sunfish and just once a pickerel over 10 inches.
