Lake Barnegat is a reservoir in New Jersey, near Ocean County.
Lake Barnegat covers 64.18 acres in Ocean County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Lake Barnegat, so those measurements should not be guessed.
At 64.18 acres, Lake Barnegat is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.
Fish reported from Lake Barnegat include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, and yellow perch.
Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Lake Barnegat largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.
Crappie at Lake Barnegat respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Lake Barnegat for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Lake Barnegat.
A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Lake Barnegat.
Compare one protected bank with one windblown bank before deciding which side deserves the afternoon on Lake Barnegat. Then compare the incoming-water end of Lake Barnegat with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.
On Lake Barnegat, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Lake Barnegat is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Lake Barnegat, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
