Re: New to NJ. Where to Fish?
Thanks all really appreciate the help here. I have a lake house up in Mass so I don't want to get rid of the 40 hp completely. It does look like I will be picking up a trolling motor for the rear.

Re: New to NJ. Where to Fish?
In these electric only lakes I'm able to go out there with my 40 tilted all the way up? like Manasquan res for example.

Re: New to NJ. Where to Fish?
I agree with Rich196, 2 trolling motors will get you around most NJ lakes all day. I have 2 motors on 16.5 starcraft and have never had issues not going all day. I have 2 batteries also. pretty close to you lakes are Farrington/dallenback/mercer/cranegie/assumpink. I usually hit these with good LM bass numbers. Lots of weekend pressure so get there before sunrise, but weekday is empty. They say Manasquan has smallies but I have not go any.

Re: New to NJ. Where to Fish?
Manasquan definitely has smallies in it, as well as hybrid stripers and tiger musky. Here's the Monmouth County page with contact info:

BTW, I highly recommend the Newark sheds. They charge for a fishing permint and a boat launch permit, but it's worth it and keeps a lot of the yahoos and the bucket brigade out. |

Re: New to NJ. Where to Fish?
I heard in Manasquan last year they made you take the prop off but I cannot confirm that.

Re: New to NJ. Where to Fish?
I live in Keyport and have fished Lefferts too many times to count over 35 years. I still fish it a half dozen times a year but spend most of my days at Manasquan. Lefferts is my first trip every year to shake the cobwebs off. Plenty of pickerel can be caught there but the bass can be finicky. Soft plastics and spinnerbaits fooled most of my fish there. The weeds get really thick so anything with exposed hooks can be a pain to use. Manasquan keeps me coming back because of the various ways fish can be caught there once you find them. From what I have witnessed there is no problem leaving the prop on the gas motor and tilting it down. The Rangers have not been stringent with that rule. I fish out of a Skeeter boat without a gas motor and run a bow and transom electric motors. You will have no problem using your boat in any of the lakes around our area. Thompson Park in Lincroft and Deal Lake In Asbury Park also get a few trips from me each year. I also like Assunpink and the smaller lake near there Rising Sun and Stone Tavern.

Re: New to NJ. Where to Fish?
I have a question about the Newark Watershed properties. The web site says no kayaks or canoes. Es verdad?
I fished off the shore at Green Turtle yesterday for nothing. A guy in a boat with two trolling motors said they were getting perch and one bass. |
