LOL! Caught this ambitious little guy at Manasquan resorvoir. My first lmb at that place. Been there 3 times. First time 2 pickerel, 2nd time, 2 yellow perch. Was determined to keep going there until I caught a bass. 3rd time was the charm I got 2 LMB (two seems to be my magic number at this place) Second one was about twice the size of this one. I'm not a great fisherman but every other place I go to I catch decent bass( even caught a nice accidental LMB while pike fishing). A guy I know who is a great fisherman says this place can be tough. I saw a report on here a couple weeks ago from a guy who got a couple good ones. How about the rest of you? Anyone else fish here?

Manasquan resorvoir is my home base. I generally fish the shallow wood with spinners and rebels. Been catching mostly medium and small stuff this season. Lots of Perch this year. I cant buy a pickerel this year for some reason.

How do you guys fish the deep water here?

Used to fish there about 6 yrs ago. Only fished deep water and around trees. Medium sized shiners worked awesome!

Went there in my brothers boat a few years ago and with fish jumping all over the place we caught nothing. Then we fished off the shore after getting tired of sitting in a boat all day and caught some nice bass.

Just fished there yesterday with some friends that are kinda new to the sport. Jig heads tipped with Kellies and Kellies on a Carolina rig worked great at pulling LMB, Big white Perch, and some moster Blue gills from the deep.. We were fishing from like 10:30am til about 430pm we were cooking in the sun out there but they were having so much fun they didn't want to leave.

A decent pair of polarized glasses are priceless here.. with the clear water you can see tons of contour changes and deeper structure that always seem to hold fish.

Have not fished it regularly in six years or so....
But always did well in deep water near rip rap and
during the right time of year in open water hybrid blitzes..

Also used to do gr8 during cold weather months with BIG trout swimbaits
that would atract the likes of six plus lb. largies:) :) :)
