Bass Fishing Spots

[Ike8120]

Just got back into bass fishing, looking for some decent spots to fish in the Monmouth County area. Must be legal spots not into trespassing.

Manasquan Reservoir is the obvious place. Assunpink Lake supposedly has pretty good bass fishing. I've heard mixed things about Deal Lake. Of the three I've only fished Manaquan and got a few bass.

Spring Lake has pretty good bass fishing.

Dont forget about Stone Tavern Lake right by Assunpink.

Mike? This you? I got some absolute slobs out of Farrington lake in my younger years, 7-8’pounders! My favorite bite however has to be the night bite at Assunpink in late June through early August! Absolute toads crush the Jitterbugs and alike after 9 pm .........

Interesting 1st post bruh! Welcome to NJF!!!

farrington is a good spot but gets tons of pressure on weekends, you need to get there by sunrise. I have yet to see huge bass there, but big pike
if you bring a boat the better of the 2 launch sites is currently closed off with some utility work. the other launch is very silty and shallow

I have had good success bass fishing Round Valley. My best is a 9.5 lb largemouth. I caught this three days after my wife nailed a 7.5 lb. Lots of smallies as well

I don't have a boat, so all my fishing is from docks and the bank.
Sucks to be me

Farrington and Mercer and manasquan have tons of bank spots. All very fishable from shore.
