Largemouth Bass

While Wildwood Crest is primarily known for its beaches and ocean access, anglers looking for Largemouth Bass can find opportunities in the freshwater ponds and lakes located a short drive inland. These smaller bodies of water often hold decent populations of bass, particularly around submerged vegetation, docks, and other structure. The spring spawning season and the fall feeding frenzy are the most productive times to fish for bass. Try targeting the edges of lily pads or casting into weed beds with weedless lures. A helpful tip is to use local bait and tackle shops to get information on the most productive spots and current conditions. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits for bass before you start fishing.
