Largemouth Bass
Andover, NJ, offers a classic New Jersey largemouth bass fishing experience. The area is dotted with lakes and ponds, many of which hold healthy populations of largemouth. Lake Lenape is a particularly popular destination, known for its diverse structure and decent-sized bass. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as bass are actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. During the warmer summer months, focus on fishing early and late in the day, or target deeper water. A great tip for Lake Lenape is to work the weed lines with a Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait. Also, the old railroad trestle provides excellent structure. Be aware of the boat ramp conditions, as they can be busy on weekends.
