Birdman: Just curious if you have a boat or intend to fish from shore..The advice here should help u get started..But depending on time of year you figure on lake fishing for trout can determine what tactics to use and type of tackle that gives u best chance to get into jersey trout..Actually not that many hold over lakes in NJ that I'd call great hold over waters..Marginal at best, maybe RV could be the exception... Early spring usually results in a limit of stockies and little else if water cold..Getting some good structure maps is good invest-ment b4 anything else..This could be very interesting topic..I notice lots of lake fisherman on this forum..
