since the new jersey state forum is here i thought i'd try to grab the attention of everyone fishing new jersey.. i'd like to get anyone in here talking about all the freshwater fishing in new jersey and share what we are catching and where..
I've been out fishing with a friend since the beginning of the season and so far we have hit
Lake Pemberton, Pemberton twsp. - bluegill, crappie, largemouth, perch, trout
Stafford Forge, Tuckerton - Bluegill, pickerel, largemouth
Wells Mills, Waretown - Bluegills, pickerel, largemouth (gills here are huge)
-- Waretown Lake - Waretown - I'm saying this lake because we fished it twice this year but they drained it and its rather small .. i dont think its recovering very quickly.
Lake Shenandoah, Lakewood - this lake is not very productive, must need a boat or something. i think my friend caught a perch.
Lake Carasaljo, Lakewood - perch, crappie, largemouth
Mirror Lake, Browns Mills - crappie, largemouth, bluegill
when i list the fish, they are basically in order of frequency of catch.. in most cases the first two are swappable depending on the lure you are using..
I also visited ramapough reservation park and fished there.. it was a bit earlier and just warming up. i saw lots of perch swimming around at the shoreline and caught a few bluegill.. it was a windy day and i was having a little bit of trouble casting into the wind and i was trying to stay near my family with the kids and such. all in all it looks like a prospective perch lake but very shallow, i dont expect to see crappie in there.. but maybe some bass if i try harder.
