Pequest Trout?

[jvaccarella2]

First time posting and fairly new at fishing

Anyways. I have a hard time catching the trout in Pequest, the spot Ive been going to is right off of 46 a little ways before the Hatchery and an area of about 40ft has about 20 trout and some really big.
Ive spent mutiple days trying to catch one and they are all not biting. I think its because they are stocked
Thought Id post something and see if anyone has had the same problem or any suggestions.
thanks

What have you been trying to catch them with? If you're having trouble with with them biting, maybe try throwing some powerbait into the hole with a size 6 hook and a split shot.

He means powerbait salmon Eggs or pallets.

No offense cabesaroja , but i wish people would be more specific so new fisherman can understand.

theres powerbait grubs, worms and swimbaits.

when someone first told me they were using powerbait to catch trout i thought they were using grubs.

Worms.

buddy you gotta realize that those fish in the pequest near the hatchery, especially near the base of the spillway, get hammered day after day by fisherman. on a slow day they probably see 20 different flies, and 5 different spinners or plugs. they are more like aquarium fish than wild trout at this point. just keep working them

If you see the trout they see you just as well if not better.Somtimes ya have to be sneaky,hide behind a tree or boulder, crouch down when entering a new spot.
