Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass fishing in Teterboro, NJ, involves targeting smaller, often overlooked waterways. While not a renowned bass destination, the area offers several ponds and reservoirs that hold decent populations of largemouth. The Hackensack River, though tidal, also holds some bass. Spring is prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn. Focus on areas with emergent vegetation, docks, and other structure. During the summer, early morning and late evening are your best bets. A key local tip is to explore the smaller, less-pressured ponds off the beaten path – these can often hold surprisingly large fish. Soft plastics like worms and creature baits are effective around cover, while crankbaits and spinnerbaits can be used to cover more open water. Public access may be limited in some areas, so be sure to research access points and regulations before you go. Many of these smaller bodies of water are best fished from shore or with a small kayak or canoe.
